 | Bike (MTB) 2:10:00 [2] | |
| |
| After 200 metres, left pedal fell apart, with the guts destroyed. Two hours getting parts and rebuilding pedal before trying again, this time in cold rain. Got a terrible headache from the cold. But satisfied at least I didn't have to take my bike to a mechanic. |

| pm jog in +8C! Everyone in the city seemed to being doing it so I felt compelled to join in and do my part to clear the sidewalks. Even ran past the hardest of hard-core ski guys jogging which is surely a sign of the times, although I think he was running to check the tracks. |
Sunday Mar 30 |
| Run (mostly trails) 51:00 [3] | |
| |
| early am. With map. Ice and snow below, rain above, me in between. |
| Ski (Classic) 1:13:00 [2] | |
| |
| Grabbed skis that I knew had plenty of glister on them from a few coats added in January. But on snow I noticed there was no grip. It seems the glister was gone!? Evaporated? Eaten by hungry microbes? Eaten by hungry skis? I can't figure it out since the usual problem is not being able to get rid of the stuff. Went home added some more and accidentally caused a minor environmental disaster by applying a too hot iron to some Rode universal glister which is a lethal as Italian cheese. Luckily family was out so I did not have to evacuate. All this for a crappy ski in light rain. |
