Skijoring 35:00 [3]
Beautiful fresh snow on the icy tracks made for slow but fairly good conditions. Should have worn contacts though- my rx bike glasses with antifog were meh.

Running 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: La Sportiva Crossover GTX
Run with the spikes to work. Snowshoes may have been better for the first km, but spikes were fine for the rest where the fat bikes have made a nice flat track beside the ski tracks.

On The Kickstand today- Joe the cynical recumbent-scorner and dentist-gadgetophile-mocker is featured.

Out with the boys in the crusty snow. I let the dogs navigate in the Wheelie woods, so we went up and over everything.

Skijoring 1:00:00 [2]
Loop of the 'hood to tire out the big boy. Slow going in soft new snow. Glide wax job worked on the waxless skis, but breaking trail in soggy condtions is not fast for man or beast.

AD and I went out to cut a tree that fell across the trail, and trackset a footpath beside the ski tracks in our back loop.
10 AM
XC Skiing 1:17:28 [3] 12.59 km (9.8 kph) +220m
Nice loop of the Hockleycrest trails, while Bash and Funderstorm took their own route. I did some of the nicest sections a couple of times.
Thursday Dec 22, 2016 #
Skijoring 1:10:00 [3]
Ski in with the big boy. New snow but sticky skis for the way in- need glider on the waxless boards! Better on the way home as it froze up.
Great tracks all the way!

XC Skiing 1:15:00 [3]
Ski with AD to work and around Palgrave West.
Tracks were filled with leaves and pine needles from yesterday's wind, so slow going. Also a tree down on the way up Thinker's Hill, which may be interesting on the way down in the dark.

Skijoring 1:05:00 [3]
Yet another great ski commute in superb mid-winter conditions.
The big boy took his time going there, but moved well on the return.

Fantastic ski with Bash at Hockleycrest trails. Perfect bluebird day, deep pow in the woods, brisk and breezy -10C -mid winter conditions. Trail grooming was excellent. So great to have this 10 minutes from home.
See Bash's log for pics.

XC Skiing 1:05:00 [2]
Whole fam ski outing in fantastic knee-deep snow. The big guy was bazinga chasing his annoying brother for the first km, but settled into a sensible plod after a while.
Friday Dec 16, 2016 #
XC Skiing 45:00 [2]
2-dog blast around Palgrave West full loop. The big guy is ramping it up a bit, especially when 3 deer went by.
Note
May have to dial the weights back. (Probably early glaucoma- confirm in mid Jan)

XC Skiing 1:10:00 [2]
Magical ski in pefect conditions with the Big Dog. Dumped during the day. The snow was up to his chest on the way home. We started with him wearing four boots, but ended up with only two.

Too nice not to ski. Conditions are great on our commute. Met the TRCA truck parked on the trails in Palgrave East.
XC Skiing 32:00 [3]
Late night ski home. I turned off my light and skied by the supermoon in the open areas. Phenomenal night out!

Excellent ski with Bazingadog. Conditions are good. He's taking it easier than he used to, but is loving the skijoring. It may be my favourite sport, even with a nasty cold.

Gorgeous ski in with AD in snow that's deep and crisp and even.
Everyone was out enjoying the snow on foot, bike and snowshoe but still nice tracks in Palgrave West on the return.
Cold getting worse so took it very easy.

Cycling 35:00 [2]
Third time's the charm-drive train's good now. Had another good ride with Bazingadog, who is getting back his fitness. It's slow going crunching through the crust but the tractor tires are working well.
Strength 50:00 [2]
Easy workout 2 and some lumberjack work. I tried to split a monster log that just laughed at my maul, wedge and sledgehammer. Not even a hint of a crack after lots of pounding.
Saturday Dec 10, 2016 #
Cycling 30:00 [2]
Another outing, this time with the big guy. He was crazy-excited to see the bike, and we had a great romp with his skijoring setup. He ran out of gas and stretched out in the snow for a while, but was really pumped for a run at his choice of speed.
Still got some drivetrain issues.

Running 1:59:49 [3] 14.14 km (8:28 / km) +521m 7:09 / km
Beautiful easy run of the Hockley prov. park trails with Bash and AD. Feels and looks like winter, even if we can't ski.
My cold's not incapacitating.

Cycling 30:00 [3]
Just not quite enough snow for rock skis, so went out testing the bike with B+ tires. I got a WTB Ranger 2.8 to fit in my existing front fork, and ran it with 15psi.
I tried to improve the chainline to clear the big rear tire, but ended up with issues that had me heading home early.

Nice jog in with the Big Boy. He was excellent on leash, and thrilled to get 2 days in a row. A little more jogging and less walking, but he still takes breaks.
Excellent pooch on our night jog home.
Note- think I'm getting a cold.

Commute with Bazingadog. Sticky snow on the way there, more glide but sparse snow cover on the return trip in marginal conditions. Big boy loved it, but took his time.

Orienteering race 2:00:26 [4] 17.64 km (6:50 / km) +363m 6:12 / km
shoes: New Balance Leadville 3
DGL Icebreaker.
I had a hard time at the Raid, so I planned a cautious strategy, starting easy on the killer K, getting the biggies but passing some blue and green controls on the East side in order to have more nav time in the West.
Turned out that my legs and nav were ok, the course was defintiely clean-able, and other than a 4 minute error at 46 (upside down map- d'oh!) I ended up back earlier than I thought, which left me scrambling to clean the course inefficiently and I came in a minute overtime (but within 27 seconds on my Garmin).
Griz and 10 others (including 2 juniors) cleaned the course faster than I did.
Bash won Masters Female, and did well overall female too.
Fun times, and I felt a lot better than at RTH.
