 | XC Skiing 2:40:00 [2] | |

| Skied the Old Mill trail with Bash and Bulletdog in the AM, then across the lake to visit some Old Growth pines in the PM with both dogs.
Cold's getting better. |

| Off up North to Kukagami, hopefully to get in some good kms in gorgeous terrain and some serious carb loading before the CSM. |

| XC Skiing 1:10:00 [2] | |
| |
| Ski in to Kukagami with Bash and the dogs, with full pack. We drove through tons of snow, but it missed the lodge and snow is low enough that we had to ski the lake instead of the trail. |

| Strength 1:00:00 [2] | |

| Workout #3.
Skipped a perfect ski to work as I'm not feeling 100%. |
Tuesday Jan 30 |
| XC Skiing (Commute +) 35:00 [3] | |
| |
| Tried Velotique Saul's super-duper 80km waxing technique, and certainly had it dialed for the crust today- running straight up the hills. Quick enough to get in an extra loop and some hills. |
| XC Skiing (Commute) 30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Just as I was nearing the last climb I heard voices in the dusk, then got attacked by 4 labs! Sherpa was over, and her 2 fur kids were joining Bash and our beasts for an outing.
Note- coming down with a cold. Got 9 days to recover. |

Monday Jan 29 |
| XC Skiing (Commute) 1:00:00 [2] | |
| |
| Icy crust out there to break through- first sub-perfect conditions since the snow first came. Took it a bit easy on the way home. |
Sunday Jan 28 |
| Orienteering race (Thomass) 54:00 [5] | |
| ahr:181 max:192 shoes: Icebugs 2 |
| This race suited me a bit more I think- trail running options and breaking through deeper snow. I was able to split off from the pack in the box and did most of it by myself, which I enjoyed a lot. Ran with Phatty a little, then in the second box passed the dangerously competitive LeAnimal and Slice. At the second last control, GM headed off in the wrong direction, and I naturally assumed he knew something I didn't, but after a bit I yellled him back and relocated us. We were in 4th place at that point, but after the error ended up in 11th. |
| Running 10:00 [1] | |
| |
| Warmup for Thomass. I almost missed the start, but really need to warm up for these. |
| XC Skiing (Skate Ski) 1:15:00 [4] | |
| |
| Hardwood with the post- Thomas gang. I worked hard racing BobM and BillyW up the hills. Billy was on classic skis, and just toying with us I think. 1st time skating this year. |
| XC Skiing (Skate Ski) 45:00 [3] | |
| |
| I resisted the urge to ski with B & B on the olympic loop- and probably give myself a cardiac arrest in the process- and did the flatter Meadowlands loop with Bash, Phatty, Bender and LeAnimal. Easier to work on technique on the flats. After carving lots of nice telemarks all day, I tried to screech into the chalet, hit some ice and landed right on my Trappers Pelt. |
