| shoes: waxless classic skis |
| so this was my first ski race ever, I think I need to get in better shape before trying another long one. there were a lot of steep ups and downs, so I never really got in a good rhythm, except in a nice section towards the end, but by then I was tired. old guys with faster skis passed me on the downhills, and towards the end at least I was passing them on the steep climbs. I meant to wear my HRM, but I left the transmitter in the car, so I'm not really sure how hard I was working. yeah, I guess it was fun, and it was a really nice day. |

| 1 big lap. first session on my new skate skis. felt much less good. was fun, but I don't get as much help from running training, so I got tired real quick. managed to avoid any face-plants though. |

| night-time run around bolton. I wasn't really in the mood for running, so I forced myself to go and told alex I would either be back in a half hour, or an hour depending on whether I was enjoying it. turned out to be fantastic conditions, with hard-packed snow on the roads, a full moon (headlight not really necessary), and no traffic (probably because of the patriots game). of course there was the -8F wind chill, but I managed to mostly stay out of the wind until the end. |

| oh yeah, and I spent like an hour shoveling 15-20" of snow off my driveway. |

| felt crappy today. maybe it had something to do with eating crap (a bunch of cookies actually) for breakfast. or maybe I was overdressed and ran faster than usual. in any case, I need to go to the grocery store. |

| classic at oak mtn. good run, only miss was under a minute (up the wrong gulley at 15). #3 and #4 were both misplaced. I was lucky; in both cases I arrived at the real spot and could see the flag from there. others lost more time. quads hurt quite a bit going up and down stairs that evening...I made sure to strech out a few times so I could move on monday. |

| in alabama at the team 3-day meet. running the practice course on the model area a few hours before the wre. I wanted to get out here since I hadn't orienteered since thanksgiving, and wasn't sure how sharp I'd be technically. luckily the navigation/map-reading wasn't very hard. felt relatively strong (easy) up the hills. |

| long run on the slushy roads of bolton and harvard. started out feeling a little ill, then in the middle I felt slow, and at the end I felt pretty good. includes 3 strides on my street after finishing. |
| Skiing (classic) 40:00 [2] | |
| shoes: waxless classic skis |
| skiing with alex in bolton flats right after running. we found a nice loop that we could ski around at different paces and still see each other. great snow conditions, except that any tracks that existed were flattened by snowmobiles. but at least they packed the snow down pretty well... I could almost skate in places. I had some energy left after the run, so I tried doing a bit of double-pole (since arms will probably be my weekness at craftsbury). needless to say I couldn't do that for very long. |
| Note | |
| |
| spent half an hour walking around making a map of alex's school. mostly just checked that the buildings were in the same place as the photo, so I could draw it when I got home. I'm supposed to be entertaining the middle-school "adventure racing club" on tuesday with a super easy park-o type thing. |

| the vaughn hill loop plus some added on into a fancy neighborhood around bare hill pond. the snow had stopped, and it was just 25F and raining/icing. traction was still pretty good though, especially in frozen tire tracks. one pair of new shoes came today, back to the same addidas, just a half size larger. luckily the stripes are a different color so I can tell them apart in the training log;) |
