Ski-O race (skate) 1:03:00 [4] 6.4 km (9:51 / km)
Tough race. Super fun. 5cm heavy wet snow on top of last night's grooming - made skating up hills hard. Went by foot up one long hill. Met Jane at #3 and every control thereafter, but could not quite ski as fast as her up the hills.
Ski-O (control pick-up) 1:00:00 [3] 6.5 km (9:14 / km)
Went to pick up the far 3 controls. Banff Trail was flattened out by skiiers, so could take it a bit easier.
Ski-O (put out controls) 30:00 [3] 1.4 km (21:26 / km)
Put out the kids course. Really hard to skate up those hills in thick snow without poles! Good practice.

Ski-O race 1:50:29 [4] 9.1 km (12:08 / km)
Great race - loads of route choices. Lots of hills. Very fast icy conditions. Hard work going down steep hills (hard to hold a snow plough). Lost 5 minutes on the long leg on the way back as I seemingly couldn't resist going down King of Sweden, only to find I was at the bottom of a 12 or more contour hill which I should have been at the top of. Since I was very fatigued anyway ended up taking off skis and hiking up a single track bike trail to get back up. Surprised I only lost 5 minutes.
Ski-O (putting out controls) 20:00 [2] 1.0 km (20:00 / km)
put out half of the kids course (the flat half). Jane graciously took the hilly half.
Ski-O (control pick-up) 15:00 [3] 1.0 km (15:00 / km)
Picked up half the kids course. (The hillier part).

Ski-O race 35:30 [4] 3.1 km (11:27 / km)
Sprint race. Started up above the stadium and went up and finished down in the biathlon area. Very fun. Soft snow in the cut-offs made those bits slow, otherwise snow was super fast in most places (crisping up).
Ski-O 5:00 [4] 0.35 km (14:17 / km)
Ski to the start, way uphill so high intensity

Ski fitness. Skate lesson with Kevin B (Robyn at nationals). Did a lot of skating around and technique as we went. Learnt a lot, very helpful. Snow was quite nice.

swimming 30:00 [3] 1.0 km (30:00 / km)
Swam during kids lessons. A few people in the lane, but could go as fast as I wanted most of the time. Felt good.
x-c skiing ('skate') 40:00 [3]
Went to COP with the boys, Rowan and Tory. Was dreadful, +14C, the skis suctioned on to the snow and everyone complained bitterly. Literally had to walk down the hills on skate skis. Then had all the muck to clean off the skis after. At least everyone achieved the snow goals they were aiming for.
Walk/run 45:00 [2]
Walk with Anne - usual one around the ravine. Beautiful morning, although lots of ice on the pathway.

Skied with Gavan at COP. Did some of the usual races and then Eileen persuaded him to do a full loop with us. Snow was very soft.
