XC Sking 1:43:05 [3] 14.54 km (7:05 / km) +308m 6:25 / km
Breck. Warm almost purple wax morning. Went with the Speedmax again. We did our usual warm up trails and a loop of Beaver Meadow. We then decided to check out Morning Glory. Then, what the heck, up and up on Glutimus Maximus. It's a very pretty trail weaving through the woods that goes up and up. Steep up is not my specialty -- I can't open my legs as wide as would be optimal. We skipped the loop trail at the top because it hadn't been groom recently and I was in no mood for extra lifting of my skis while doing more up hill. On the plus side, it was a fast and furious down having to slalom on the xc skis on a narrow track in the woods -- ZING. I headed back to the lodge on tired legs and did another 2k on flat trails reinforcing good habits and technique. Lisa had finished up snowshoeing and was testing some skis so I stopped and chatted with her a couple of times. We started under cloudy almost foggy skies and finished with a nice sunny day. Excellent outing.
Finished with 98.7k for the 3.5 days.
