X-C skiing 5:30:00 [1] 34.88 km (9:28 / km) +757m 8:32 / km
No snow-plough yet so back down our private trail (now named MD-Ski). Cracking day of blue skies and little wind. Back up to Nordseter for a cake via another stop at the supermarket in Sjusjoen. Had my second (un-pisted) fall of the week when I failed to see a snow drift that Nick had just told me about...

9 AM
X-C skiing 2:30:00 [1] 11.51 km (13:02 / km) +316m 11:28 / km
15cm of snow last night so not able to get the cars out, therefore had to ski from the cabin. However, as the nearest ski trail was 1.5km away it made for some trail bashing. Good fun but snow so deep it was hard to get up when you inevitably ended up in it. Back to Nordseter cafe for more cake.
1 PM
X-C skiing 2:30:00 [1] 18.61 km (8:04 / km) +314m 7:26 / km
Group split after lunch and Nick, Clare and I headed to Sjusjoen to find a supermarket. Eventually found it (complete with rows of x-c skis outside!). Really fun trip back, much of which along a narrow un-pisted trail, didn't notice the best part of 10kg of shopping on my back either. Worn off wax at the end made for very difficult back up the trail we forged this morning. (Ended up getting back before the other group as they took an accidental detour onto the Olympic tracks...).

10 AM
X-C skiing 1:15:00 [1] 6.19 km (12:07 / km) +92m 11:17 / km
First proper x-c ski in 25 years. So nice to be on skis with wax, groomed trails , plenty of fresh snow and cold weather. Rest of the gang new to skiing so lots of stopping, waiting and turning around.
2 PM
X-C skiing 2:15:00 [1] 13.9 km (9:43 / km) +291m 8:48 / km
Longer afternoon loop (after excellent cake at Nordseter cafe) with Mark, Clare, Emma and Nick. First fall, trying to parallel turn heading down a hill when I crossed the skis.

Strength exercises 15:00 [1]
Made it to a cold and very snowy Lillehammer. No time for running today (and nowhere available locally due to the volume of snow, but spent a bit of time shoveling the stuff in order to make enough parking space.

Lunchtime run with Nicky arounf Roath Park. Easy pace but nice to fit a run in on a busy day of doing stuff. Started the watch a bit before it found satellites, but was never anywhere near Barry!
