Skate Skiing Hyland
6:52 AM; Hyland Park Reserve
0.4 °C; Cloudy
Another instance of a dropped GPS signal taking me on a wild ride off trail, adding about 6 km of distance. The actual distance for the workout was 29.64 km, not 35.90 km. I was able to manually correct the distance in Running Ahead and Sporttracks.
More traffic today, even at 6:45. Still, I could see some stamps of approval left by the many deer in the area and also, like yesterday morning, enjoyed the call of a barred owl. Towards the end, the very top of the climb of Willow Creek Loop started to turn into mashed potatoes. Very much hoping for that refresher snow event and hoping that it is at the higher end of the forecast.
Good workout, not as intense as yesterday. Worked on my V2 on the flats, gentle uphills and on the short, steeper climb behind the play area. Feel like it's coming along but I am not happy with my upper body strength. I guess I will have to start spending some time in the gym. Did not see any friendly faces till the very end, when I met Andy's neighbor Richard in the parking lot as I was leaving. He had roller skied with us a couple of times last summer.

11:32 AM; Hamline Midway/Como Park
3.3 °C; Cloudy
Second attempt at maiden flight of my DJi Mavic Pro drone, this time I did not forget my mobile. Stability and ease of use are impressive. As is the image quality. When the drown hovers and the video looks like a still image. Also much quieter than other drones I have tried. Best of all, it folds up and fits in a backpack! Mellie did not mind it but Roux was being a scaredy-dog. Have to work on learning all the functions now.

6:14 PM; Hamline Midway/Como Park

Good time to go, when everyone is watching the Vikes (lose, as I later found out). Running a few errands, needed at least a start to my weekly dose of bananas. Regular bananas were cleaned out, completely, fortunately there were a few organic ones left. No buttermilk, either but I am used to that, got kefir instead. Walked in a sweatshirt with a fleece vest, still above freezing and little wind.
