XC skiing warm up/down (skating) 8:00 [1]
3 x around Dot's loop at Morse Farm. Didn't feel that great. Why not? Had a day off yesterday.
Ski-O 34:10 [4]
Red course @ Morse Farm
Woo, ski-O!
Didn't remember until I pulled in the drive that I'd been there before- skiing one day with family over last Christmas break. Still didn't know it very well because most of the trails weren't open then, just the basic field loops on the lodge side of the road.
Felt pretty good and navigated fine. The trickiest bits were the quick left turn right after the start (not much time to get into the map- I almost skied by!) and then #4- the intersections before it were tricky. I ended up choosing a trail based on the woods and the fence, luckily being in the right place to make that choice in the first place...
Shins cramped up right at the start, have no idea why, but got better, not worse, so wasn't a problem!
First time with a map holder, which was good, but not yet great because it kept slumping down and had to keep picking it up to get a glace at the map. Still much better than safety-pinned map though!

Ski-O 17:00 [1]
Model event at Craftsbury Common.
Good fun, a little extra tricksy due to ongoing chainsaw work, I skipped the last control, which was probably good as they were in the business of tree-felling.
Nice to get a feeling for what green lines mean what as for trail thickness and things.

XC skiing (skating) 23:00 [1]
Skiing around a bit more afterwards, used the solid green trail to actually ski a bit more continuously. Nice to be on skis!
