Snowshoe Running 40:40 [3] 4.61 km (8:49 / km)
shoes: Salomon SLAB-3 XT Wings
Sunny snowshoe run/slog around Palgrave West. About half of it was trailbreaking in heavy, shin-deep snow and the other half was packed trail that was getting softer by the minute.
I haven't been doing much running lately so I wanted to try some of what the Carbons have been learning from their coach. One thing I realized is that if you "run low" as they are instructed to do, i.e. bend the knees and keep the lower body short, it's much easier to do a decent butt kick. And if you're wearing snowshoes, it's even easier!
I foolishly wore summer tights, socks and shoes to avoid getting my winter stuff wet on a short run in relatively warm weather. I'd underestimated how wet that snow was - I got soaked. My lower legs haven't felt that cold all winter!

Paddling (Kayak Erg) 35:00 [3]
Today's podcast was "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me". Amongst other things, Martha Stewart explained how she would prepare Spam and confessed that she loved Velveeta. Forearms *still* feel fatigued. I guess it's from the tricky Snowgaine skiing but strange that I didn't notice it until two days after the event.

Note
Attack The Trax, Sunday March 17
Ski-O at Highlands Nordic, 15K or 7.5K
Tarno is organizing this so you don't need to worry about being beaten by him. His young daughter Milla entered the 7.5K so if you do the longer distance, you don't have to worry about being beaten by her either. Also, the homemade cookies at Highlands are *really* yummy.
This was a super fun event last time and it's a fundraiser for Highlands' kids' programs so you'll be having fun for a good cause. It's suitable for XC skiers who don't do navigation sports since they only need to be able to read a trail map. Skate or classic are both fine. Please tell your non-AP friends and I hope to see you there!
