 | XC Skiing long 6:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| First Canadian Ski Marathon experience ever, and definitely not my last! Leanimal and I, joined by Dr.P, skied the middle 3 sections of Saturday CSM today. The temperature and the snow was perfect. Our wax was gripping when we wanted it to, and allowing us to cruise down the hills. We saw tons of other folks out there and it seems that everyone is out there to have a great time and they were all so friendly and had super attitudes.

| Running 40:00 [2] | |
| |
| Out for a quiet night of TNT with Bob and Tommy Hillflyer. The trails and the golf course were a disgusting mess of freezing slush and water so we opted for a run around the neighbourhoods instead. Nice easy night to stretch out the legs in prep for CSM! |

| Swimming 35:00 [3] | |
| |
| Headed out to the pool for the 10pm lane swim with Bob. I think the last time I donned my full piece and bathing cap was honestly about 2 years ago, so I was kinda nervous! Bob was a great coach and had a little workout planned so I was really happy about that. Does everyone know that she used to be a superstar synchro swimmer? We should probably get her to wear her nose plug to TNT occasionally. I would think that added oxygen deprivation must be good for additional training..
So, we did some front crawl and some kickboard work (which was really hard and tiring!) and then we did some legths with the foamy thing between the thighs so you can just use your arms. Discovered most of my unbeleiveable swimming speed comes from my upper body. Who would have thought it? Maybe I have coach hansel to thank for that after countless hours of dragon boating...
Anyway, I finished off the session with a stretch in the sauna where I discovered a disconcerting rash developing on my inner thigh exactly where I was holding the foam thing between my legs. Yeeeesh! I made sure that I scrubbed it thoroughly and it seems to have calmed down. Gross. |
