| ..back at French (where the grooming has been amazing this year given the 12" of snow total we have had)...turned up the speed just a bit...did our fastest tandem lap ever...obviously, Kari gets better on every outing and my HR averaged the highest it has for one of our outings....again she skated a bit and continues to learn..... |

| ...thought about doing the Snowflake 10k Skate race at Baker but opted not to race....went to French with Kari and did 2 loops....Kari threw in a bit of skating strokes on her waxless just to continue to try and learn...after a couple loops of all the trails Kari went in and I did a loop at slightly faster than marathon race pace....learned I am probably woefully undertrained for the Birkie but I doubt I am the only one..... |

| Teaching Kari how to skate ski...her first attempt...she did very well but was suprised it was more difficult than it looks...after giving some basic instructions and some back and forth skating on a very slight uphill track she said "lets just ski the trails" ...she wore out quickly and had to herringbone the hills but I could tell it would just take a couple more times before she wouls start getting it....it was fun to share this new technique, brought me back to my first attempts at skate skiing 18 years ago when I wanted to learn it because those racers just "looked so cool..." |
