Ski touring 3:30:00 [3] ** 10.6 km (19:49 / km) +960m 13:38 / km
My first ski tour alone, so picked a relatively easy goal. Great day to be out; not too cold and mostly blue skies. Was the first one today so had to navigate a bit. Not too hard but didn't follow the ideal route up. Some parts quite steep but technically little difficulty going up.
Amazing views from the summit in all directions. Downhill was a little too hard and tricky for my current skiing skills, but was careful enough to not hurt myself ;)
Apart from two blisters on the insides of my heels feeling fine physically.

Alpine skiing 1:30:00 [3]
-3100m/16km. Got some good tips to improve my technique. Fun day, nice to ski with someone else for a change!
Cross-country skiing (skating) 1:17:00 [3] 13.8 km (5:35 / km) +250m 5:07 / km
Bit cloudy unfortunately, unlike the morning.
Skated till the end of the trail at Flachauwinkl. More of a challenge than towards Reitdorf; steeper climbs and more narrow turns. Quite tough uphill where I was really able to practice, after turning around the gradual downhill back was lovely. 43' there, 34' back.
Feeling strong physically, though a bit tired.

Trail running 1:02:00 [3] 8.1 km (7:39 / km) +470m 5:56 / km
shoes: Altra Timp
Debated going skiing with the lovely sun, but felt more like a run. Keep hearing more and more birds, seems like spring's approaching already!
Trails were ok until Trigl, either groomed or flattened by hikers and snowshoers. After that much harder and ended up following animal trails down the slope sinking in up to my thighs in places. Right groin slightly sore again, seems to be aggravated by steep climbs in deep snow. Otherwise feeling good.

Cross-country skiing 36:00 [3] 6.2 km (5:48 / km) +45m 5:36 / km
Groomed trails again! Still improving a lot technically, which makes it more fun. So many different things to learn. Trying to practice V2 but still missing a bit of balance. Climbs a lot better when I remind myself to do the 'duck walk'.

Cross-country skiing (skating) 17:00 [3] 2.9 km (5:52 / km) +30m 5:34 / km
Only had a short break but still nice to get out. Trails not groomed so heavy going with around 20cm of new snow last days.

Alpine skiing 45:00 [3]
-1100m/10km.
Last bit off-piste on a detour which also required me to ski uphill... Took much longer than anticipated.

Ski touring 2:45:00 [3] 11.0 km (15:00 / km) +750m 11:11 / km
My first ski tour! Easy gradual uphill on a wide trail until it got too close to sunset and we decided to turn around. Bit insecure in the first part with partly deep snow, but feeling better in the final half. Fun! Had that same sense of freedom which I always feel when trail running, being able to go everywhere and explore the mountains.
2h10' up, 35' down.

Trail running 2:30:00 [3] 11.8 km (12:43 / km) +1150m 8:33 / km
shoes: Altra Timp
Felt like running up something today more than skiing, so decided to check out a tour I'd had in mind for a month already. Easy up to Sattelbauer on well-trodden trails and roads. After that the trail was only used by snowshoes and skitourers, so I sunk in all the time. Last part a bit steep and snow to my thighs in places. Treated with a nice sun and beautiful views at the summit, though quite cold up there as well. Downhill wasn't so easy, sinking in even deeper. Last part from Sattelbauer was more enjoyable again. Great to be up in the mountains by myself.
Up 1h45', down 48'.

Cross-country skiing (skating) 47:00 [3] 7.5 km (6:16 / km) +60m 6:02 / km
Beautiful sunny day. Actually managing to get some speed with relatively little effort. Climbs still a challenge.

Much better already. Still stumbling sometimes but I feel a lot more stable. Like this more than classic.

Cross-country skiing (skating) 18:00 [3] 2.5 km (7:12 / km) +30m 6:48 / km
First time trying skating. Quite alright! A bit short cause not that much time during lunch unfortunately.

Trail running 26:00 [3] 4.2 km (6:11 / km) +170m 5:09 / km
shoes: Altra Timp
Lunchtime recovery run. First time on the Timps. Have been wearing the Instinct at work and they are very comfortable. So far the Timp feels a little heavier to run with than the Inov-8's, but other than that I like them. Hard to tell in the snow though.
Tired legs so took it very easy. Most of the roads snowy but cleared.

Radstadt seemed like a nice town, not as touristy as some of the other places here and a beautifully preserved old town perched on a hill.

Not bad for a first time. Tracks were different than I'd checked on the map, so walked for 1km next to the road as well.

Pretty epic. Started in the dark, first part cycle paths which were a little icy in some places but not too bad. After Wagrain there was no cycle path anymore but instead a nice downhill through a narrow valley. Happy to have good lights and reflective clothing. Roads very wet so covered in mud and salt at the end ;)
