Event: ROC - Ski-O at Mendon Ponds
 

Enjoyed the Ski-O at Mendon with Winterfest. Not sure if the course was easy or my skills were on, but no issues navigationally. I did find out how lacking my XC strength is as I just didn't have much in me for this effort.

Randy suggested we head out for some skiing since it was going to be an hour before control collecting time, and I said yes.... Headed over to the other side of the pond and tooled around on the nicer trails for a bit.

Probably better for him than sitting around, but not quite a workout of any sort given my depleted condition.

And then the trifecta - collecting a half dozen controls. I didn't attempt to do anything other than move around in a circuit and collect them. I had several snow-shoe-O controls and following their path through the woods was easy enough but slow.

I did do it as a memory-O and didn't look at the map after leaving the hut, so that was at least a positive thing.

A little track setting time to get back on the skis. Seemed to have a left knee twinge after the double-ski day, and was resting it. No issues in the short trip today. 6:00, 5:54, 5:49, 5:42

More snow - woo-hoo;-) 7:36, 7:47, 7:10, 7:08

Daughter needed a workout when after school activities were canceled, so we re-set trail together. 9:06, 8:28, 8:02, 7:41
