Event: Blue Hills Traverse
 

Nominal 13.9 km. Fun run, but not on the amount of running mileage I've gotten in the past 2 months. Got severe knots in my quads when I dropped straight down the hill off #13, and had to back off after that.

A few nav errors scattered in: overshot #2, #11 and #14; wrong turn limping out of #15; could not find #18 and ran up and down the ski slope a few times.

Traverse - Splits

Moved a cord or so of firewood inside despite the rain. Need to get the shed empty to have a place to dry next year's wood. Already have 3 cords split and stacked on pallets, but no end to the logs coming down out of the woods.

Warm up/ cool down 40 min. 5 sets x 1 min each of single pole, double pole, no pole, marathon skate.
Balance 2; 10 pullups.

C • Rollerskis 2

Got free early today, so made it out for a long rollerski. High school to I-91 and back. Most L1, working on glide and easy rhythm. 3 x 12 min intervals at L3 V2. Not too much glide when I was trying to push at L3. Also did these on the uphill sections.

May do a canopy release cutting in the Pines in the next couple weeks. Seems the market for wood pellets is lifting log prices a little. Would thin out about 4 acres of an over-dense stand. Part of the deal is they must finish before snow starts flying. The leftover slash ought to make short cuts more interesting for ski-o.

Warm up, then short workout. 2 sets 6 x 30 sec hill bounding up ski trail. No poles.
Then cool down and 10 standing broad jumps.
Balance 1.
