| Cobble Mtn Classic Snowshoe race - 5K - about 70% on hardpacked groomed XC trail, the other 30% on single track snowshoe trail up and over Cobble Mtn.
A different and humbling experience. 95% of the racers had on "racing snowshoes" much smaller and lighter than mine. They also had much less aggressive claws than I did, which I discovered makes a tremendous difference on hard pack. | ||

| Miss my heart rate monitor, which would tell me how hard I'm really working.
Cold and breezy. Not too bad in the woods, but the stadium was a bit nippy, as were some of the downhills. Blue klister day - trails haven't been touched in the past couple of days, so they remain fast and icy. Tracks weren't too bad, enoujgh other skiers, some with fishscales to keep it loosened up. Started thinking about ski-o course setting - will be really weather & conditions dependent, so I'll need to have a plan B and C thought out also. | ||
Sunday Jan 20 | ||
| XC Ski (skating) 53:00 [4] 11.9 km (4:27 / km) +220m 4:05 / km | |
| shoes: Peltonen Skate Skiis | ||
| Tracks set up very hard. Some spots a bit chunky, which made control a bit difficult.
Lot's of GNA kids out, making me feel old and slow for the most part, although I did have some inspired moments. A bit chilly, but the wind hadn't picked up too much yet. Think I have GPS tracks with distances adn elveations for all the race trails - will be nice to get that project done and off my mind. | ||
| XC Ski (skating) 56:00 [1] 3.6 km (15:33 / km) +70m 14:11 / km | |
| shoes: Peltonen Skate Skiis | ||
| Knocking around with Tim and Jon.
Jon's first time on ski in several years - I am not a good teacher. Other than saying relax, bend your knees and hips more, relax, balance on one ski then the other, watch what I do and try to imitate it... Wind had picked up so it felt a lot colder. | ||
