skate ski (Highlands) 1:50:00 [3] 15.0 km (7:20 / km)
Beautiful sunny cold day up at Highlands but we didn't arrive till 4 so we didn't ski in the sun much. Met Hermes there for an evening ski. I skated a short loop first and did a few short hill repeats (in preparation for the Mono race). Then skied up with Hermes and Goose and did an easy pregnant lady paced flat loop. She wanted to head back and try classic skiing so went down with Goose while I did some hill sprints on the first and second finger. Felt good but the temps were dropping fast and my fingers and toes were so icy cold. I did a bit more with Hermes and Goose when they came back up but had to head down early to thaw out. Gorgeous clear night with excellent snow conditions.
