| snow skiing? I guess it has potential, at least its something to hold me over until I can get back to the rollerskis...
Doing laps around daddy-o's trails. Nicely groomed with lots of snow! Did some easy laps, and some no-pole laps, and some speedy laps chasing dad (he won those today), and then did the last couple km with the map holder reading movie reviews from Time. It was sortof getting dark by then, but I still managed to get through a page and a half.
My right hand swelled up to the size of a grapefruit last night on the plane, but it doesn't really hurt too much, so I just crammed it inside a glove and ignored it. Can't pole too hard with that side (elbow hurts), but overall I'm not too bad off considering how it felt yesterday.

| The storm finally blew its way through last night, but that meant it was wicked windy all night so the trees dropped lots of crap on the road. I was only about 500 meters into the first lap when I stumbled on something and ran the front wheel of the ski square into the pole (which I had already planted and weighted) and broke the tip off. That went sailing off into the darkness and is probably stuck through the roof of somebody's lexus. Finished that lap on one pole, then got back to the car where I had an extra rubber tip. Not as good as a metal tip, but better than a carbon stump. So I got about halfway into the second lap when I hit something else with both skis at the same time and went ass over teakettle into the road. Landed pretty hard on my right side, bent all the fingers and the elbow back (somehow the wrist escaped unscathed), and took most of the skin back off the knee. Decided to cut my losses and call it a day. |
