Skiing at Callaghan. Sunny, but really cold. Started with several loops Around the World, then over to the cross country stadium and some nice loops there. Ended up at the biathlon arena after 15 km and took a rest. Watched the BC juniors practice shooting, which was a bit interesting. The smallest kids shot with some sort of pea guns on a mini-target at 10 meter distance... then went for late lunch.

By the way, the attendance at the World Cup Ski Jumping was hysterical. All parking lots were full and people were parked kilometers along the road. Had to wait for 30 minutes in the traffic chaos and missed the event.

After lunch skied a bit slower and just enjoyed the day.

Hike/jog up the BCMC. Started together with Cedric, but then went by myself from about 1/3 and up as he was slower. Hard work, was sweating like a pig when I went faster by myself.

Hike from the lodge to the base of Goat Mnt with Cedric. Snow was really hard and icy and it was perfect conditions for the Ice Bugs. Good grip and warm and toasty feet. Snow shoes were completely useless in the rock hard snow, but still we were the only ones we saw not to wear them... Too dangerous to climb the peak itself without ice axe and cramp-ons.

Only logging the uphill sections and the stuff that we jogged.

Another sunshine ski. More varied pace today. Sometimes going with Andrea and sometimes pushing hard on shorter loops.

Sunshine ski with the night time pass, at pretty decent pace. Good winter conditions with sun, but cold and hard snow. Some nasty steep and long climbs, especially the first 30 minutes. Went to the very top of the upper trails, over 1100 meters (parking lot is at 900 m). Did a pretty flat loop above the power lines that was 815 meters long 5 times, each one at faster pace. Did the last one in 2:35.

Amazing sunset view over the eternally fog filled city.

Jogging to test my knee. Did not feel any pain, but then I didn't feel any during the actual race on Sunday either, as the pain came after. Will wait to see how it feels tomorrow morning.

C • Sounds almost the same as m... 3

30 minutes after the race on Sunday I started to feel a pain in my left knee, on the inside. Never felt anything during the race itself. Today it hurts every time I bend the knee. Not sure what's up with this. Rest day, I guess...
