| Easy run on the orange course from Sat's meet. I went easy and nailed every control except one. I took a rough compass bearing and came out too far north. To get to one of the controls I kinda slipped down a hill pretty bad and cut up my leg. It's sore but not too bad. The cliff I slipped down was right next to the road, and I staggered out to the road as a car drove by. I was also really muddy. Must have looked completely hilarious.
I'm totally gonna kill the next race I go to. |

| First O race ever! Now I feel like I belong here!
Did a white and then yellow course at Powder Mills Park in Rochester. Made some really dopey mistakes, but had fairly good times for the courses. I had fun too! And got to run around in the snow and mud! |

| I walked out of my house this morning and did a double take. Heavy fluffy snow everywhere! There hasn't been snow down in the city in a while. So after work and a networking event, I grabbed my rock skis and headed to Highland Park (which is across the road from my house). I skied the entire park, found some good hills to do some jumps off from, and got some mad speed coming down the hills. Nice! |

| Skate at harriet. Really really slow snow. Trudging through molasses. It's still good to be skiing, but this was pushing it. |

| 20min classic... then $%@& that! Season is over so I skated the rest of the time. Harriet has nice snow, a little icy, but the tracks were cruddy. Good times... |

| END OF TRAINING YEAR
Wow I just finished my second year of year round ski training. I logged 517 hours, which is pretty damn good in my book. A couple of the biggies from this year: I learned I could run fast again, I had a lot of fun at my training camps, I learned I could be pretty hardcore, and I had an awesome friend to back me up throughout the year (that's right Alex, I'm talking bout you). |

| Skating at Harriet. It's perfect out here. Too bad I can't keep my hr down at all. I really just need to take some rest I think. |

| Whoa it was hard to keep my hr down today, but who cares. This might have been my last day on snow in the Roc. Pretty fast snow for slushyness. It was raining a bit out there too. Just skated like crazy. |

| Run up to the hills, but couldn't find a non-private road up. Ran back down to Cala Millor and then over the Puenta de n'Amer and back to Sa-Coma. |

| |
| Ran up the Puenta de n'Amer to a castle on the top. It was a tiny little box of a castle, but it did have a moat and a drawbridge, so in my book that counts. Saw the sun come up over the Mediterranean during the run. Gorgeous! |

| I'm in Sa-Coma, a small town on the island of Mallorca for about a week. Not planning on training all that much since it's off season anyhow. Went for a short run today down the coast. |

| Skate at Bristol in ice rain. Besides my clothes being completely stiff with ice by the end of the ski, it went pretty well. I haven't been training with an hr monitor for about a week (lost it... long story) but now that I have one I think I've been going way too hard. My hr is wicked high lately, but maybe I can chill out and bring things back down. Sucks I can't tell how hard I'm going w/o it. |

| Classic ski with the boys. Probably a bit too fast to be easy for me, but had a good time. Did a portion of the Mendon 10k loop and boy are those downhills sketchy. |

| Long easy skate. Wanted to hit around 3 hours, but was feeling a little burnt. Probably better to work on technique and have a good ski rather than kill myself. |
