| XC Skiing (Classic) 1:20:00 [1] | |
| A gentle loop with Superfly George out around the agreement forest and the northern part of Hilton Falls. We had the woods all to ourselves never bumping into a single person. ...I suspect it had something to do with the Superbowl. We would have stayed out longer, but the headlamp batteries were dead, so had to head for home once it got too dark. Great to be out in the woods on skis! | ||

| Note | |
| (sick) (rest day) | ||
| Had a crappy night of sleep, waking up constantly. Finally I checked the watched as I figured the alarm would be going off any moment sending me out the door for Hamilton; but somehow I'd infact missed the alarm altogether and now there would be no way of getting down to the DVCA run on time. ...damn! was really looking forward to it. I should have just got up during one of my many sleepless moments.
Maybe for the better as the cold season has taken me in. | ||

| TOTNT - Riverdale Rally Route
The conditions were perfect... only improvement possible would have been the addition of daylight. I'll admit right off the top that I was shooting for a sub 24min run. I'd been thinking about it all day while sitting at work, knowing that the conditions were right and the snow would be here tomorrow. When I got out there I went balls-to-wall and didn't even check my splits on the way through the loops for fear of subconsciously adjusting the pain threshold for the remainder of the run. I even recall running up the final 100m with the mental image of me trying to outrun a 24min pace bunny catching up, just to make sure I was emptying the tanks. I thought I had it for sure, only to be surprised to see I was a second slower than my PB when I finally caught my breath and checked the watch ...argh!!! What does it take!?! ...the one consolation is that after getting home and checking my previous runs, this was infact a new PB (albeit a minor change; 2.63seconds off). Not sure if I can add the hundredths of a second on the splits page. Previous PB was run last November 29th. Conditions: (Level 1) -5deg, frozen hardpack ground, no snow cover ...perfect. West Loop: 10:58.55 (Cm. 10:58.55) East Loop: 10:45.20 (Cm. 21:43.75) UOTV: 02:30.80 (Cm. 24:14.55) | ||
