XC Skiing (Grönklitt) 1:00:00 [3] 7.5 km (8:00 / km)
(injured)
My right leg was aching all off last night. But I didn't want to leave Grönklitt without at least trying some skiing. Went out on the same 6 k loop, followed by a 1.5 k loop as I couldn't manage anything longer.
Adopted a strange skiing style that forced my skis to glide more, and didn't hurt my leg so much. I could manage this for at least half the course so that saved my leg a lot of agony. Interesting part of the loop was when a girl skied into the back of me (so slowly that neither of us fell) but while we were sorting ourselves out again her tutor that was following her round corrected the way I was holding my ski-poles. I was thankful. It's nice to be doing things right.
I'd enjoy returning to Grönklitt in the near future when I've regained some energy and learnewd some technique somehow! Per took my skis home to wax them up so they'll glide more. I look forward to trying that out!
However, now I need a restful week. My runnings been so poor recently, I think I need the rest.
