Training Log Archive: 'Bent

I wanted to get out in the calm before the storm. Bash and I had snowshoed the first km of deep snow to the main trail, but it was cleat-clogging, tire-bogging wet cement, and where I wasn’t wallowing I was hike-a-biking. Maybe a shorter bike with fatter tires and platform pedals would do better here.
The main trail was excellent riding on the snowmobile and tractor tracks. I tried some singletrack, but every time I got off the narrow packed bit on tight switchbacks I bogged down, so I stuck to firm doubletrack which was great riding and I did all the Palgrave doubletrack. The last km was miserable again, but on such a nice day who cares?

A bit of rehab

Out with Bash and the beasts, exploring some little-seen areas to the SE of us. Dogs love the bushwhacking!

Fast glazed tracks, but Bazingadog wasn’t in a hurry so I ended up in front of him on the downhills.

Caron’s class. Not too bad- more strength and less groin-splitters.

Mostly ok, but no monkey pose for me. Zero hamstring flexibility doesn’t help.

Workout 2 + core and rehab

Commute with AD via the rollercoaster. The little guy has a sore shoulder so no extras today.
Night ski back in drizzle.

Easy ski with a trotting/sniffing BZdog. Frustrating technical issues and short-staffed at work, but a ski home cured all.

Family ski with Bash and the beasts. Conditions are so perfect, and another bluebird day!

90 min of wailing away on some big green logs, which split better when frozen. Maul + sledgehammer.

Out the back door and bushwhacking peak-to-peak in the back bowls that can only be accessed in these conditions. Solid workout pounding steep hills in snow- love it!

Meh. Had an OK run but I think I MP’d 7.
