| X-C Skiing (Kingdom Valley Trails) 40:00 | |
| weight:163lbs | ||
| Groomed once to loosen the frozen granular, and then skied on a smooth and fast surface. Did one long interval (4.04 lap) and then series of sprints on uphill and then downhill sections. Felt okay, but didn't want to do more than the 10k.
Cookies gone and wgt down into the upper target range. | ||

| X-C Skiing (Kingdom Valley Trails) 37:30 [3]8.1 km (4:38 / km) | |
| Working on a chest cold, but decided I wanted to ski more than I wanted to rest. So went out after dark, rewaxing for the colder 15F temp. Yesterday's grooming left a smooth surface, but it had set up pretty firm. Good workout. Trying to force a lower body position with more knee bend. Have no idea if it's good form, but feels like I get more leg thrust. | ||

| Finally got a chance to groom the trails. Got about 6" fresh snow and a bit of crust on top of 10" solid granular base while I was gone. Busted this up nicely. Actually ran the groomer up Pook's Plunge. Will ski it this pm.
Have to figure how to groom some narrow 4' tracks per ski-o. Will drag tires like they used at S-chanf, but need a skinny power unit. Maybe snowshoes? . | ||

| Note | |
| Following the races at Engadin, more points to work on:
Technique -- skiing very narrow trails, 4' wide, skating and double poling up, coming down in control. Also, ski-o requires fast decision making, as you can zip by your desired interesection quite quickly. So this says sprint races would be useful. Haven't had any interest in these to date, but will include them this year. . | ||
| X-C Skiing (Mt Tabor Rd) 56:00 [3]12 km (4:40 / km) | |
| Had everything groomed and then got a call from Tom D to ski Mt Tabor. So went out there instead. Road was hard packed by snowmobiles, but not groomed. So surface had rolling undulations that made me seasick after a while. Also had wax that was too warm for temps in the teens; not much glide. Fun, but home trails might have been better.
Fighting a cold or some other plague from the plane ride home. All sorts of people were coughing the whole time. | ||
