A great session at the gym with Chantale. Climbed a couple of tricky 5.9s with a few overhangs. This sport is really good for my hands and forearms.

A really fun skate with the Banff rec girls. We started off playing 3 on 3 as we were short on players but eventually a couple of more girls showed up and we were able to play 4 on 4. Kind of fun to get so much ice time, but I was pretty tired by the end.
A late day loop at Pocaterra. My feet got very cold and uncomfortable right off the start so it was challenging to enjoy the ski, but nice to be out for a workout.
Bummer, this hockey thing just isn't working out for me this year and I was so exited to play after my early season hockey clinics. I drove down to the rec center to see if the women's shinny was on, but I guess it wasn't on because of the holiday. I'll try again next Friday.
Note
Strike #2: Drove down to the rec center again. This time for the co-ed shinny, but only three people showed up. Perhaps everyone is hungover or maybe they are out shopping for good deals.
New snow and freshly groomed trails in LLthis morning. Skied Moraine Lake Road and the Fairview trail. This time a little further than the last time. I did a bunch of back and fourth as Chantale is just learning to ski. She did quite well.
A little practice session at CNC. I did a few drills in the tracks to start followed by a bunch of climbing and a little cruise on the Banff Trail. I felt a bit off balance and felt like I was working harder than necessary.
Got our belay test out of the way,plus climbed a few routes. Whoaa, my forearms and hands are pretty tired now. I think it's been 12-15 years since I last climbed.
