Late afternoon call with the boss got postponed, so I got to go skiing with the kids. Yeah!!

Hiking 20:00 [1]

Kids wanted to play at the Imagination Station, so got them (and me) bundled up and headed over. Talked them into walking around the nature trail, enough of an adventure to be fun, cold enough to be an adventure and some neat sights. Ended up at some nice snowbanks, suitable for climbing up and then rolling down and sliding down on butts.
2 PM

XC Ski - Skate 1:03:49 intensity: (1:15 @0) + (3:00 @1) + (22:54 @2) + (36:35 @3) + (5 @4) 12.33 km (5:10 / km) +242m 4:43 / km
ahr:142 max:162 shoes: '10 Salomon Equipe 8 Skate Ski

Almost didn't go out - not a lot of pep in the engine - outing with the kids in the morning, cold temps, running nose...

Had fun anyways, not too many folks out, but did see a few, even down in the far south end. Some of the downhills a bit hard, rough and chattery, but exhilarating skiing at speed.

XC Ski - Classic 53:52 intensity: (51:26 @0) + (2:15 @1) + (11 @2) 2.64 km (20:22 / km) +31m 19:15 / km
ahr:91 max:130 shoes: '07 Fischer Classic White-Yell

Putzing around with the kids, one of whom was not happy with having to be there for the first half or so. We survived and a well timed wipe-out that a previously unhappy person was willing to recreate for the benefit of a cell phone camera, brought on some smiles, then giggles.

XC Ski - Skate 44:26 intensity: (2:29 @0) + (2:44 @1) + (13:19 @2) + (25:46 @3) + (8 @4) 9.12 km (4:52 / km) +128m 4:33 / km
ahr:142 max:158 shoes: '03 Yellow Fischer Skating

Then the little people wanted to play on the mountain of man-made snow in the stadium, so I had the chance to do some skiing at my speed. Swapped over to skating - a bit of out and around, back and forth.

XC Ski - Skate 45:00 [1] 2.5 km (18:00 / km)
shoes: '10 Salomon Equipe 8 Skate Ski

GNA kids program - single digits, so we were all bundled up pretty well.

The snow gun was going, with a nice hill formed so some up and down to work on. .

XC Ski - Skate 40:00 [0] 2.23 km (17:58 / km) +18m 17:16 / km
ahr:82 max:124 shoes: '03 Yellow Fischer Skating

Short one on one session with Jen - tried the shortest skate skis that the XC center had - 128 cm. Size was ok, glide was great. A bit with poles, a bit without, but someone wasn't really into it today. On the cranky side, distracted, cold hands / feet, but not willing to go out and ski a little bit to get warmed up. Started down Dryfire, thought the hill was ok, was sitting on her heels to keep from going too fast. Little thunderclouds coming in, so called it a day.

2 PM

XC Ski - Skate 1:18:16 intensity: (8:02 @0) + (7:35 @1) + (38:09 @2) + (24:30 @3) 13.96 km (5:36 / km) +223m 5:12 / km
ahr:131 max:154 shoes: '03 Yellow Fischer Skating

Afternoon session by myself - good stress relief. Overall good conditions, a bit thins in a few spots, and a bit on the warm/slow side. Maybe time to do some more waxing??

XC Ski - Skate 1:37:19 intensity: (1:37:08 @0) + (11 @1) 5.8 km (16:47 / km) +101m 15:26 / km
ahr:93 max:133 shoes: '03 Yellow Fischer Skating

Adventure around Cobble Mtn with my favorite now 8 year old. We had fun knocking the fresh snow off the hemlock boughs that were weighed down far enough that he could swat them.
Had a couple of good face plants into the soft stuff, quickly recovered. Getting much better on the downhills and at moving himself along.

XC Ski - Classic 1:02:21 intensity: (35 @0) + (59 @1) + (11:05 @2) + (49:21 @3) + (21 @4) 10.24 km (6:05 / km) +130m 5:44 / km
ahr:145 max:156 shoes: '07 Fischer Classic White-Yell

A bunch of loops, and variations of the loop, on the manmade snow trails at Gunstock. Started snowing just before I left the house. They'd groomed overnight, with good classic tracks in place. Wax was what I'd had from earlier - some blue klister covered with blue / blue extra hard wax. The klister must have been peeking through in a couple spots - was having some icing issues.
The uphills were pretty chewed up from earlier skaters - mashed potatoes consistency.
A moderate number of folks out on the trails.

XC Ski - Skate 29:28 intensity: (2 @0) + (39 @1) + (16:02 @2) + (12:45 @3) 5.34 km (5:31 / km) +70m 5:11 / km
ahr:140 max:150 shoes: '02 Peltonen Skate Skis

Short break, then some skating. These skis were sluggish - waxed for colder conditions. Was damp when I started, took a but to get re-warmed up.
Ice build-up on the front of my jacket, hat and presumably the beard as well. Not as gnarly a picture as when I was skiing in single digit temps, but still capable of scaring small children.

XC Ski - Skate 32:00 intensity: (5:00 @1) + (18:00 @2) + (9:00 @3) 7.4 km (4:19 / km)
shoes: '03 Yellow Fischer Skating

Skating the loop at Gunstock by headlamp. Hadn't been groomed today and was pretty uneven and hard - not the most fun. Did get in 5 loops. Quads sore - a lot of extra energy expended through tensing up a lot riding over the rough stuff.

XC Ski - Skate warm up/down 45:00 [1]
shoes: '03 Yellow Fischer Skating

With the kids program at GNA. A lot of back and forth and picking up kids down on the snow.

Run 23:57 intensity: (40 @0) + (3:28 @1) + (19:49 @2) 2.8 km (8:33 / km) +83m 7:27 / km
ahr:130 max:140 shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 315

Meant to grab my new yak-traks and/or Ice-Bugs, but had neither.

Conditions not as bad as I expected, but still taking it pretty easy. Temps in mid-30s, so soft corn snow, a few slick ice spots but able to run along the sides there.

XC Ski - Skate 54:04 intensity: (43 @0) + (3:40 @1) + (15:42 @2) + (31:21 @3) + (2:38 @4) 10.24 km (5:17 / km) +173m 4:52 / km
ahr:143 max:157 shoes: '10 Salomon Equipe 8 Skate Ski

Night ski at Gunstock. Mid-20s with a bit of a moon through thin clouds.

Thin layer of powder over hard pack / ice. Fast and fun.

Coming down the Maple s-curve, almost caught an inner edge, but managed to avoid a catastrophe.

XC Ski - Classic 1:20:00 [1] 4.5 km (17:47 / km)
shoes: '07 Fischer Classic White-Yell

Working with the kids at the GNA kids program - had almost as fun as they did. Colder than I thought it would be.

Exer Bike 22:00 [1]
ahr:97 max:110

Too cold outside- so kept it inside.

XC Ski - Skate warm up/down 8:29 intensity: (1:49 @0) + (2:20 @1) + (4:20 @2) 1.49 km (5:43 / km) +25m 5:16 / km
ahr:124 max:140 shoes: '10 Salomon Equipe 8 Skate Ski

Quick warm up to check how the skis were running - it's a go.

Ski-O race 51:27 intensity: (19 @0) + (2:40 @1) + (19:35 @2) + (28:53 @3) 7.4 km (6:57 / km) +176m 6:13 / km
ahr:141 max:155 shoes: '10 Salomon Equipe 8 Skate Ski

A few bobbles - mostly mine, a couple due to incorrect interpretations of the map.

XC Ski - Skate warm up/down 46:01 intensity: (2:12 @0) + (7:22 @1) + (27:55 @2) + (8:32 @3) 7.3 km (6:18 / km) +161m 5:41 / km
ahr:133 max:155 shoes: '10 Salomon Equipe 8 Skate Ski

Skiing around afterwards - relaxed and having fun, until I ran out of legs.

XC Ski - Classic 1:05:34 intensity: (1:04:28 @0) + (1:06 @1) 3.37 km (19:26 / km) +44m 18:15 / km
ahr:82 max:126

Short distance ski with the kids - out Quiver and back along Longbow, then up and down the final Cobble hill a couple of times.
Slightly longer skis for Ryan seemed to work better, still a few spills but better control.

6 AM

Upper Body 30:00 [1]

Clearing snow from everywhere - a bit of blowing and drifting. Nice and light though - nothing like the last storm.
2 PM

XC Ski - Classic 1:05:06 intensity: (11:48 @0) + (5:55 @1) + (30:34 @2) + (16:49 @3) 8.88 km (7:20 / km) +169m 6:42 / km
ahr:128 max:151 shoes: '07 Fischer Classic White-Yell

Worked a half-day in hopes it would warm up a bit and it did - got up to 7 or 8 F. Groomers were busy overnight - and Neal had set track on many of the more likely trails.
Swix Green hard wax day, and the coldest glide wax - was still rather slow, but a lot of fun.
Track set all the way down the Cobble Mtn S-curve - took it at speed. A blast, but my eyes were tearing up from the cold.

Beard is good for building up an ice layer to shield chin and cheeks from the wind, as well as a long snotcicle right under my nose.

Initial pass at keeping the driveway clear.

5 PM

ahr:136 max:152 shoes: '10 Salomon Equipe 8 Skate Ski

Buzzing around Gunstock once it warmed up a bit.
Some sections very nice, others still sub-par.

Goofing around at Gunstock with Ryan and Jen.
Some frustration, but overall good progress and improvement.
