Training Log Archive: Ari-o

Long ski on the Birkie Trail. Did five mile-long (5-6 min) intervals, logged separately (mostly on uphill miles). Also recorded a bunch of "Trail Moments" for my blog, because I'm that much of a nerd. New start are looks great, trail is pretty benign up from there but then there are hills. I forget how goddamn nice the Birkie Trail is. Not too busy, packed and groomed, getting a bit faster as the day went on. Out to Boedecker, and then back with a couple of repeated hills, and some no poles work.

Also didn't die when someone ran a red in Duluth and nearly T-boned me. So, success?

And the interval-y part of the session. Tried to push hard, arbitrary 5x5 (or so) when my watch buzzed. Most happened to be overall uphill. No long hills here.

Went down to Hayward to see the Birkie folks and buy some beer and cheese curds, then went for an easy ski for an hour out of Fish Hatchery. See you in a few weeks, Hayward!
