Classic ski 1:10:00 [2]
First nordic ski of the season. Stopped at Silver Star on the way home to get some early season skiing in. Conditions are a bit bare compared to last year. I am not sure how they are planning to open the downhill area this weekend. Most of their xc trails are open, albeit with some sections where the track is in rougher shape. All in all nice to get back out and work on the kick and glide. Skied the lower trails around the village (Meadow and Sidewinder).

Bike 2:00:00 [2] 65.0 km (32.5 kph)
Still in South America. Today rode down the famous "death road" from La Paz down to Coroico. It is no longer as dangerous as it used to be as traffic now takes the new highway but there are still big drops along the side of the narrow road. Got drenched in a downpour. Several uphill sections - it felt good to be riding a bike again.

Hike hills 5:30:00 [3] +650m
Longest day on the Inca trail trekking through cloud forest and past multiple Inca sites. Winay Wayna was my favorite likely because I had it almost to myself. Hundreds of stairs today. The porters are crazy sprinting down them.

Hike hills 4:00:00 [3]
2nd day on the Inca trail. Tough climb up to Dead Woman's pass at 4200m. Highest elevation I've ever been too (although will surpass that later in the trip). Decent weather until the top and then started to rain. Kept a nice easy pace and never really felt the altitude.

Bike 1:00:00 [2] +250m
Up and back the upper part of Tantrum and looped a bit of TNT with Courtney. Focused on riding the singletrack as smoothly as possible. Very nice ride for november 1st. Unfortunately I think I left my wallet on the roof as we drove away... :( I think I jinxed myself as I was just remarking a few days ago how I'd had the same wallet since 12th grade.
