Training Log Archive: O Steve!

....timed the spring conditions just right....skied the Front Nine and over to Wirth Lake on the Loppet trail with Kari.....major melting but we caught it at transition and the waxless skis worked great....not sure if this will be the last ski but likely the last one with decent conditions...

first swim of the year....I have set a minimum goal of 10 swim sessions before my first Triathlon on June 3rd......on my first few strokes both my shoulders were tight and sore.....I usually have pain on one but have now progressed to the double....it wasnt to bad and my the end I was loosening up a bit....I swam very mild intervals of 10x100 in 1:36 or so...leaving on 2:00....not to bad for a first swim...then 3x200 in 3:28 or so......leaving on the 4:00...........its a start.....

Ran around Calhoun and Harriet with Kari...late day run....really nice outside....we pushed the pace just a wee bit....

...skate skied the Bog and the easier golf course sections at Wirth....I was planning to ski from Wirth Lake over to Cedar trails and back but they have plowed the trail over 394...why did they do that?...couldnt it wait a couple weeks?...anyway walkers are starting to damage the trails in the more public spots but the Golf course sections were very nice.......I assume this part of the Loppet trail will hold for quite awhile as the melt begins....I am looking forward to trail running and getting on the bike....but until then I will keep up the skiing on the late season snow....

...a redo of skiing French after work with Kari....good grooming.....sloooow tracks....very abrasive...
