Snowing in Boulder -- should get around 3-5". It's still in the high 20s and the snow is wet. However, it's supposed to go down to 5 tonight up at Eldora. I'll be interested to see what the snow turns into by the morning.

Found my way to Boulder Nordic Sport! Oh, boy, I really could have had fun with my credit card in there! Boots and poles and skis and brushes and rollerskis and waxes and boy oh boy!

Bad Birkie weather depression. I thought about just going for a row but figured I needed some closure on the ski season, even if it was going to be on wheels. I did a lot of work and am much stronger and technically better -- it's a shame I won't get to show it at the race.

However, I got more and more annoyed and came up with a plan. Given that the Birkie weather didn't improve on Wed morning, I implemented the plan. The plan was to change all my reservations to Colorado. So, Thu morning I fly do Denver. All the hotels in the Frisco/Breck and Winter Park areas are booked. Thus, I'm staying in Boulder and will check out Eldora. Due to the altitude, I don't know if I will get a 50km ski in, but I'm going to get my last bit of snow, damn it!

1 x 5k
3 Fisher Rd Hill sprints

rep) pace, HR_ave
1) 3:16, 158

Large deviation on the pace due to a tailwind going out and head coming back. The goal was to keep my HR under 155 but I couldn't manage it - I kept going too fast. Good workout regardless.

Apparently I've hit the mileage limit on the Aero's tubes because I had another flat this morning. Luckily, I was still near the car. Otherwise, an uneventful loop + lots of detours around the lake on the hard wheels.

Nice gray and cool morning. Keep enjoying them while they last.
