Lap of Ustefjord - mostly flat so a good chance to have a good practise of skating - going OK - just a lot slower than the couple of skiers we met - they looked effortless and faster!
Snow fine at start (minor frost on car windscreen) getting softer in sunny parts by the end. Won't last much longer round the Lake - getting very thin in parts.
Ustaoset to Prestholtseter hut - started up a big hill but we beasted it, coffee and cake then west under Hallingskarvet into a gale - solid plodding. E refused to go further than next junction so quick whiz back to Ustaoset. Wind died down just after we finished......

With S from Haugastol south across lake (or where lake used to be... I guess the reservoir has been used for hydro power. Turned back after snow (on marked route) started to get very soft and wet - hadn't brought my swimmies so didn't fancy a dip!

Short shuffle with S to try and find running legs, not very pretty but felt better for it.
Havdals toVestreim and back. Very windy but mild (+4C). Great runback down to carpark from west with a strong tailwind! Skis working well today - even getting grip for classic style (despite no wax!) possibly due to warmth?

Messing about at Biathlon track trying skating. Too tired for more.
Skiing at Geilo, loop from Kikut to Ruperanden then a wee loop west of the road. Feeling very tired and struggling with new skating skis. Had sllep in the afternoon on return to hut.
JK relays, M165 with RC & AT.
poor start as I missed AT coming in.... found first hill pretty desperate but eased into running hard. A couple of little misses in second half but caught Gramp 4 minutes :-). Finished 5th team so fairly happy.
