XC skiing (classic) 34:48 4.06 mi (8:34 / mi) +204m 7:25 / mi
ahr:137 max:158
Wow, and here is where winter has been hiding! Trapps was amazing, such great snow, although way bitterly cold. 4-5F most of the day?
Met up with Stephi for the end of her OD, with Ruth too. Nice to catch up, chat, here how the weekend's races and festivities went. Then went into the yurt, said hi to Ruff and Brayton. Brayton seems to be enjoying the dev team coaching job, but regrets that this is exactly the winter he choose to move back east... understandable!
Also, they both noted my classic boots are in a state of disrepair. Probably time to get new ones....

Trying to intercept Brendan on the Haul Road. But I choose to go straight up the Chute, and Ian and Brendan snuck by on the Bypass. Ah well. Made it all the way up to the cabin, went inside for just a smidge and said hi to Mike, Marie, Madde and Tim who were having some yummy looking soup.

ahr:139 max:166
Weeeee! Down. Kinda racing because I figured I was the latest link preventing the Alex-Brendan mobile from returning to Boston. But then I saw Alex, phew.
Unfortunately, after I went straight inside, I touched my ear and felt frozen. Whoopsie... haven't gotten frostbite in awhile, and don't think this is bad, because it can only have been frozen a few minutes.

XC skiing (skate) 1:29:55 13.79 mi (6:31 / mi) +644m 5:42 / mi
ahr:154 max:171
And out for a skate ski, cause the snow is just soooo delightful, who could resist?
A loop around the Maze, saw Ken, then went up Owl's Howl, down Oslo, up Bobcat, around on Hare Line, down the 40 year trail (new name?), over on Fox whatever back around on Telemark, then in. A good ski, but hot cocoa number 2 was definitely required upon return!

XC skiing 1:00:00 [2]
Skittering about at Blueberry Lake, around 1-2-3-4. Icy times, but fun to see everyone out and about skiing! I intended to try to coach a bit, but technique kinda goes out the window when you're just trying to stay upright, so figured not the best time... Did a few laps of the meadow 3 and the inner 4 with Brendan, those bits weren't so bad!
1 PM
Note
Lunch time! All around the big table at Lenard's (owner/operator of Blueberry Lake, who taught me to skate ski when I was little). Good to see Lenard, still going strong, out skiing most days, and saw him on the snowmobile grooming even as we left. I really hope I'm so active at that age!
2 PM
XC skiing 1:15:00
And to the other side of the road. Meadow ski then to 11 with Brendan, where I tried some off-trail adventuring in the spirit of ski-o. Almost ate it once. Then we did the upper meadow bit and over to 8, which was really quite pleasant. Second time around I decided to do some intervalling and went up hill fast. Hardish! Finished with a meadow loop, farlek-style.
Good day and ended by swinging by the Becky-Rob-Sarah discovered Warren Store of amazing-smelling soup. Cheese and yummy chocolate acquired. But a good lunch spot to remember for future Blueberry Lake skiing!!

Rollerskiing intervals 1:08:42 10.43 mi (6:35 / mi) +290m 6:04 / mi
ahr:143 max:176
Hill intervals up the backside of the double bump 4 x 4.20ish. Nice sunny morning, but sad to be back on rollerskis. I don't think I've often rollerskied in February... Still, skiing to look forward to this weekend, woo!

Running 46:24 5.45 mi (8:31 / mi) +69m 8:11 / mi
ahr:132 max:153
Run in twilight and post-twilight around extended Emily Dickinson. Felt a bit slumpy all day, suppose a bit of jetlag/recovery from last week at work. Was definitely dark by the end, a biker with a bright light nearly blinded me on the bike path.
Strength 8:19 0.33 mi (25:12 / mi)
ahr:100 max:140
And back to it, 3 x 25 pushups, 3 x 15, 15, 15 hammies. Hammies felt more sore than the arms, suppose I used my arms more last week!

Noonie run around Puffer's Pond with Sanjay, Aaron, and Rob. Chat of ski-o, then trail running. Aaron disappeared to go do a 15 miler further down the Robert Frost, not for me today though!
Drills 6:51 0.45 mi (15:14 / mi)
ahr:145 max:162
Anti-injury drills... hoppity hop.
