Dropped Pat off for his classic Birkie then went down to OO for a short ski. Got in some climbing where I worked on easy and efficient strides. Lots of no-poles working on feeling the snow, getting out on the ski, and balance. Did some zig-zagging with fast feet to work on agility. Watched some earlier skiers due the u-turn at OO. Drove back to Telemark to wait for Pat.

Departure was delayed so we didn't take off until after 10 and finally in the airport hotel at 1. On the road by 8:30. Stopped at New Moon for misc skiing stuff, lunch, then over to Mosquito Brook to ski. Warm 34F and sunny and the snow was fast. We did a big loop of the flat network of trails off to the NE. Did a lot of no poles. I have a lot of "I have been on skies in 6 weeks" sore spots, particularly the outside of my left knee. I think it will go away though. Pat skied a little shorter and I went out and back to the south on the Birkie Trail. Got a good climb in a decent effort; I wanted to get some good work in. After skiing, grocery store, check into our house, pizza, then watching the Nordic World Champs sprints.

I’ve doubled up two pretty good masks. The escalator from drop off th ticketing wasn’t working and by the top I was slightly light headed. I think I effectively have N99.99, which is good other than when going up stairs. The airport was busier than I expected. Only a few carry out restaurants are open but the number of people walking around seems almost normal. There is plenty of seating at the gates though.

Crazy Dallas is 72F and sunny. The lake was mobbed. Mostly easy but I did a couple of short pushes on hills. I wore my nipple jersey; seemed like a good day for that.

Nothing too strenuous. Just wanted to warm the legs up before visiting Bobby and Kinetikchain again.
