 | X-C Skiing (Kingdom Valley Trails) 55:00 [3]10.5 km (5:14 / km) | |
| |
| Bombi fixed, minus a wheel; good enough for easy grooming. Did the fields and left the Pines for tomorrow. Temp dropped to 20F overnight, but snow didn't dry out very much. Maybe because of the brilliant spring sun. Skiing slow due to the soft snow; more likely because I had LF10 on the skis for the recent thaw. |
| X-C Skiing (Tire Traction) 15:00 [4]1.2 km (12:30 / km) | |
| |
| Decided to finish with a lap of the tire groomer. Two are much more difficult than one, or maybe the soft new snow adds more drag. Definitely a strength workout. Easy to pick up when you're faking a leg thrust -- you just stop dead. |

| Road Running (Rte 11 hill) 40:20 [3]4.2 mi (9:36 / mi) | |
| |
| 6" wet snow; decided to let it chill and dry out before skiing on it. Ran Rte 11 down to end of straight back to top of hill. |

| X-C Skiing (Kingdom Valley Trails) 52:00 [2]8.1 km (6:25 / km) | |
| |
| Soft, slow. Dragging one tire worked okay, but left too narrow a smoothed trail. So now I have two side-by-side. Much better. Definitely a resistance workout. |
Wednesday Mar 26 |
| X-C Skiing (Kingdom Valley Trails) 1:45:00 [2]13.5 km (7:47 / km) | |
| |
| Warm and soft. Four long laps, including one in the woods on next year's ski-o tracks, and up to the end of the logging road. Then one lap in the fields pulling the tire to smooth everything out. |
| |
| C • Only one lap with the tire?... 3 |

| X-C Skiing (Kingdom Valley Trails) 51:00 [3]10 km (5:06 / km) | |
| |
| Snow more workable today, but still rough, dirty in the woods. Needs grooming.
To that end, moved one of the center tires to the back end of the right side. Reassembly went okay with some persuasion by an 8# sledge. Still have to reconnect the tread. Will leave me missing one of the tires, but should be all right on the packed trail with light loads. Can insert the replacement wheel later. |

| X-C Skiing (Randolph Center, VT) 1:20:00 [3]12.7 km (6:18 / km) | |
| |
| On snowmobile trails after monthly staff meeting. Trails in good shape, seem to be regularly groomed. Several road crossings and a few good pitches like the logging road. Nice clear day. |
Sunday Mar 23 |
| Road Running (Cummings Rd +) 39:00 [3]4.0 mi (9:45 / mi) | |
| |
| Chilly morning run with Casey. |
| X-C Skiing (Kingdom Valley Trails) 1:25:00 [3]12.7 km (6:42 / km) | |
| |
| No luck getting the snowmobile going. So grooming was 4 laps dragging a tire around the fields. Smoothed out the corn snow nicely, and knocked the crest off the frozen stuff. Alternated with laps around the Pines. |
