A 3 Hour Tour...

Ouch. Yesterday I was able to get out for a morning ski. Thanks to Mike and Kyia for grooming the entire trail system at Graystone. This was the first time that I was the "first" skier on freshly groomed trails. I thought it was great until I realized Mr. Anderson could later that day at scrutinize my technique by the tracks I was leaving...he's the Crocodile Dundee of ski tracking. This made me focus on my technique more than normal!

The conditions were much slower than I anticipated. Some of the hills felt like all out efforts due to the skis and snow not wanting to say goodbye to each other.

I managed to get the 3 hours in that I was hoping for, but by the end I was dragging some major ass. The slow conditions took a lot out of me. All I could think about on the last lap was how far away the car was and how "bonked" I was feeling.

Note: a bigger breakfast is required for an over distance ski!

Loops skied: North Loop (6), Orchard (3 or 4 lost count), and Balto's (2).

Sounds like some more snow is in the forecast. While I am very ready for spring to show up I could definitely get out and ski several more times...as long as the conditions are up to my standards! Hell, I may go out again Friday morning.

Off to the gym...

Out.
