Marathon de GNOAC. One of the best skate skiing days this winter. What an incredible job by the grooming team cleaning up the trails. My longest ski since high school. Fun morning.

Today marks one year of being (mostly) at the Waddtage during this pandemic. I trained 468h40m in that year. Just under an hour and 17 minutes a day. AG! trained more than our hour and (covid-) 19 minutes a day goal!!

The squirrels and chipmunks are loving these spring like conditions. Check out the start of this video for an example.

In the WaddSquad race to 1000km since January 1st AG! had opened up a 10m lead at the 999.8 km mark as we were going downhill into the junction. Then suddenly a branch fell off a tree narrowly missing AG! She slowed down to figure out what happened and the caring Dad I am I used that opportunity to carry my speed on the hill passing her at the bottom of the hill and hitting the 1000km mark a half second ahead of her. ;-)

Conditions were better than yesterday but lots of shrapnel (as Jon called it) on the trails. Best conditions were on the fox so we did a few back and forths there and went off trail to the dam but no snow on the ice. we need just a few cm of fresh snow

C • FIS Jury Ruling... 2

Papa Gym!! including post holing running loops of the Silver Birch trail

Conditions were better than expected but lots of branches, leaves and needles on the trails due to the very strong winds made it a little tricky to get a good rhythm. Probably would have been better to ski in the morning but honestly I didn't think grooming was even going to be possible today. Kudos to the GN grooming team once again.

<10km to the 1000km for the Jan1 -Mar 31 distance goal

Hit my 2021 XC skiing training hours goal today! Woohoo.

C • Is there enough snow to get... 12

more kneehab

Several hours of zoom + hungry + no glide + no toughness = suffer fest

I guess I need to add structure to my bases on this wet snow.

kneehab!

Spring ski SZN! Beaver trail and some more pond crust cruising (but getting slushy).
