Training Log: Flying Scotsman

Snowboarding 3:00:00 [1]

Great day at Crystal, some riding and more skiing between flying!

Paragliding (Flight 186) 20:00 [0]

1st ski launch and botched the 1st 2 attempts before nailing the 3rd. Wedge to start then point it! Stayed up for a bit and had a blast in the sun, and beautiful scenery. Damn that was fun!

Paragliding (Flight 187) 15:00 [0]

Yowser, a little bullet of a thermal took me up to 7300ft! Rowdy and funky up there but views to Rainier, Adams and just down to the ski area were outstanding. My best day of fun for some time.

Hike 40:00 [3] 2.5 mi (16:00 / mi) +520m 9:43 / mi

HIke up Poo-Poo. Some hail, some sun.

Hike (Flight #185) 30:00 [3]

Wow, a blaster up to 4100ft and my hands nearly came off they were so cold. Nasty venturi between Squak and Cougar made getting back to LZ tricky even with 4K to spare! Awesome

Gym 30:00 [1]

Upper body again and a ton of crunches.

Road Bike (Commute) 40:00 [3] 12.5 mi (3:12 / mi) +30m 3:11 / mi
shoes: Pearl Izumi Vagabond

Idlewood to work after I finally found all my kit in the house.

Gym 30:00 [1]

Quick spin round the gym on chest and core.

Road Bike (Commute) 40:00 [3] 12.5 mi (3:12 / mi) +20m 3:11 / mi
shoes: Pearl Izumi Vagabond

Work to Idlewood. Nasty headwind.

Snowboarding 2:30:00 [0]

BREAKTHROUGH!

Lewis went skiing "all by my own" at Alpental. Lapped St Bernard about a dozen or so times. Great result, feel like this winter I've achieved something. Lewis slept for 3 hrs afterwards - KNACKERED!

With Lewis at Central. He's getting better but I'm still not super abotu letting him go down without the harness. Who would have thought I'd be all protective.
