fast ski around TD with Donatas. He's just getting over being sick and hasn't been on skis for two weeks, so he was pretty hurting, and I nicely took the opportunity to try to ski him into the ground. I could pull away on the flats and almost hold my own on the hills, which I'd call a success.
Coming down the long hill into the valley I was in the tracks and hit a soft patch under a pine tree, the skis stopped dead and I did an instant face plant. Hit my L knee (and a few other important bits) really hard on the icy ridge between the tracks. The knee loosened up after a couple mins, but now its definitely on its way towards grapefruit size. Should be fun for the 15km climb in the race on Sunday...
snowing like mad all day today, so I never got too far from the house. we got another foot or three (who really pays attention once its past "a lot"?), but it looks like it finally stopped so hopefully I'll get out tomorrow.
super tired today for some reason. got to sleep late last night, got up at 10 this morning and then took a nap. its been snowing hard all day but about 40 degrees, so I gave up, called it a rest day, and wrote code in front of the fire all day long. iphone cf is gonna be awesome.
