Skate Ski warm up/down 7:00 [1] 1.0 km (7:00 / km)

Skate Ski race (Bear Valley) 1:46:00 [4] 14.8 km (7:10 / km)

Heavy loose snow. Had been groomed, but got another 4", so it all was painful. Big mistake deciding to bushwhack a shortcut to 2, which left me following snowshoe tracks down across a deep reentrant for 15 min. Then a slow choice to 5. Generally pretty tired by the end, so wasn't making great speed thru the loose powder and falling snow. Hard work all day.

Skate Ski 2:30:00 [1] 7.0 km (21:26 / km)

Cool down, then control pickup. Hard snow at times, then very quiet and peaceful. Several controls in maze from Sat, but all traces of the tracks had disappeared, so it was blind stumbling around for a while.

Event: BAOC Sierra Ski-O Week

Skate Ski warm up/down (Bear Valley) 20:00 [2] 2.0 km (10:00 / km)

Skate Ski race 1:33:00 [4] 18.5 km (5:02 / km)

Ski-O at Bear Valley, blue course. Groomed corn on the trails, frozen corn in the woods and meadows. Fast and fun. Bunch of narrow snowmobile trails, but with everything frozen, that meant you could ski where ever you wanted.
Felt okay, seem to mostly be adjusted to altitude. Couple weak route choices cost time, well back from Greg and company as expected. Good to push, although not too hard today.

Checking the relay courses at Auburn. No new snow in a long time, but plenty of coverage and a fast surface.

Skate Ski (Kingdom Valley Trails) 35:00 [2] 4.5 km (7:47 / km)

Up the trails with Ruthie for an early ski. She skated all the way up the Lumber road, which was awsome. Great conditions.

Note

Amazing tight connections from Hartford thru Charlotte to Phoenix to Reno. Everything out of Hartford to the East Coast was cancelled due to snow except for mine. Even got to Reno a half hour early, only to discover my last leg was still in Truckee having dinner. Service nowadays...

Skate Ski (Kingdom Valley Trails) 1:31:00 [3] 15.0 km (6:04 / km)

Warmer today, up to maybe 15F for a while. Light dusting new snow, good conditions. Trail deck solid. Needs widening from 6 to 8 ft so I stop hooking my tips.

Felt fresh today. Technique solid. Warm up, then 4 x 10 min intervals. Mix of V1 and V2, 3-4 min between sets. Cool down.

Groomed afterward.

Skate Ski (Kingdom Valley Trails) 1:00:00 [2] 7.01 km (8:33 / km) +154m 7:43 / km
weight:159lbs

Everything frigid cold. Down to minus 17F last night, and we were in one of the warmer areas. Just barely to zero today, so snow was like sand. Did a tour around all the trails, but it was a lot of work. Tired from the races this weekend. Probably also dehydrated, so that didn't help.
