Introduced Paula to snowshoeing and orienteering at Horseshoe Valley with the map from the previous Snowshoe Raid. Fun, but only did the flat terrain :(

xc skiing 1:00:00 [3]
Note
Another gorgeous, sunny day with fresh snow on the trees in Muskoka!
-15 & 10" new snow
Waited till after 10:00 to go skiing, hoping that the trails would be groomed.But was disappointed when I started and hurt my ankle in a wobble on the ungroomed track. However, met the groomer halfway through my ski and smooth sailing after that.Absolutely beautiful in the woods with all that snow!

snow shoe 55:00 [5]
Note
Couldn't resist!
Someone has to cut the trails after another snowfall, right?
Must remember to watch out for branches as the snow gets higher and the branches lower. Ouch!
** superwool socks much too hot. Not good for my blisters from the other day.

Gorgeous day for a long snowshoe. Blue skies and fresh snow on the trees.
I did our trails 3 consecutive times , which is the most so far by any of us
1st time : 57 min.
2nd time : 53 min. which was a surprise 'cause I did them backwards this time which is harder with the steeper climbs.
3rd time: 53 min. I really pushed hard here. I was tired and by this lap had a blister.
Overall, very pleased with my accomplishment.

Note
Did the entire three loops with Cheryl. Gorgeous mild day which after having to cut the first loop was pretty warm. Hopefully it doesn't stay warm for too long or the pond loop with all its creeks and gullies will become inaccessible.

snow shoe 20:00 [1]
Note
Night snowshoe, the small loop with my daughter Danielle. Because it was short, I think she enjoyed it. Plus it was very mild out.
Ofcourse ,me fumbling on Larry's big snowshoes was pretty entertaining for her.

Note
Finally set up the trainer! Hopefully biking doesn't aggravate that herniated disc. So far so good.
But I have to ask...why are the seats on road bikes so much more uncomfortable than the mountain bike ones? Generally you go for longer rides on the road bike, no?

xc skiing long 2:25:00 [4] 17.0 km (8:32 / km)
Note
The plan was to do a longer distance at a slower pace. However, it appears I didn't stick to the lower pace. The trails weren't well groomed and I spent the whole time trying to improve my technique ( which I'm convinced sucks). Might benefit from some instruction....
Still, I was pleasantly surprised when I figured out the time and distance.
...a few parts ( right knee, both hip flexors) were complaining but recovery was good.

Have to make a conscious effort to stretch ...therefore better record it.
Looking forward to my hot tub tonight!

Realized my error with the time. Not such a fast ski after all. But it didn't seem to add up. Oh well...

xc skiing 1:20:00 [1] 5.0 km (16:00 / km)
Note
After two days of relative inactivity I was looking forward to getting back on my skis. Only, I had set up a ski date with an old friend. Turns out I now realize what an exertion level of one feels like. Eventhough I dressed warmer than I nomally would for a workout at -9, I still didn't wear enough for this pace.
On the plus side, today I finally believe that I'm not a slow skier!

Great snowhoe with Debbie near her house. Cold but sunny!
All the downhills with a snowracer. Only a couple of errors in direction on my part which were pretty entertaining for Debbie. But what a hoot!

Traded tights under windpants for warmer, wicking long johns. Worked great! Ofcourse it was -22 today. A bit warmer.
Some serious indigestion problems though. Will have to keep a food journal.

xc skiing 48:00 [3] 7.0 km (6:51 / km)
Note
Very cold today, -31. Good training opportunity to check active wear layers.
Everything was warm enough except my legs. Have to try some other options.
Outside layer ( jacket) should be more breathable as well.

Note
Cutting the trails ,finally, with Larry. Some trails were a little hard to find.
If we didn't do it today, we'd have let too much snow fall on them in the last week. Should be out after each new snow fall!
