Skate Ski (Grafton Ponds) 1:20:00 17.38 km (4:36 / km) +208m 4:21 / km
weight:161lbs shoes: Peltonen 4
Warm, but good conditions on the loops of manmade snow. Coverage extends to almost 2 km, with good hills, so it's not an endless brain numbing circle.
Warmup, then 10 intervals 40 sec L4 with 40 sec recovery. Relaxed 10 min recovery, the another set of the same over mixed terrain, flats, hills.
Legs felt good with no strain. Skis easy to handle since the snow was soft.

Skate Ski (Strafford Nordic) 1:21:25 [2] 11.5 km (7:05 / km) +178m 6:34 / km
Crummy workout. Felt somewhat sick, upset stomach. Still tired from the weekend.
Trails frozen granular, ungroomed. Icy and unpleasant. Would have been nice if they had at least been dragged with a grooming tool. Ah, when you know you could do it better yourself; just takes time and a little gas.
Went up the hill to the summit loop. Narrow and icy, skipped the long, steep descent and hiked it!

Skate Ski (Trapp Family Lodge) 3:08:26 [3] 31.84 km (5:55 / km) +873m 5:12 / km
Wicked cold and windy. Lots of layers, which worked pretty well, except it made the day more work as that stuff was bulky and the snow was slowish.
Lap around and up to the Cabin with Alex, working on technique. Realized I was stomping the R foot on V1 and need to shove it, so-to-speak. Not quite hanging close on the downhill plunges.
Then another lap to the Cabin after thawing out and more work by myself.
Finally a trip around the 7.5 km race loop.
Nice day, many from CSU around.

Road Running (Chester) 1:06:01 [2] 6.12 mi (10:47 / mi) +123m 10:09 / mi
First run in ages. Felt okay, but sluggish.
Skate Ski (Kingdom Valley ) 55:13 [2] 8.27 km (6:40 / km) +17m 6:36 / km
Right after running. Had filled in a few bare patches and groomed the icy stuff. Not as good as the other day, but still skiing.
6 PM
Note
Opened another bottle of home estate vintage Seyval that's had a little more time to precipitate the tartaric acid. I must say this was awesome wine. Nice full flavor and clean aftertaste. Too bad there's just a couple left. Oh well, then it's on to maple syrup. And planting another 2 rows of vines for the, let's say, 2018 vintage.

Skate Ski (Kingdom Valley) 53:11 [3] 10.7 km (4:58 / km) +16m 4:56 / km
weight:160lbs shoes: Fischer RCS rock
Shoveled a couple spots and then groomed the frozen granular with the teeth down for a few passes. Very surprised, the skiing was fairly good. Will do this some more to extend the 1 km loop tomorrow.
Working on getting oomph out of L leg.

Note
Walked the upper trails with Casey. Full cover over everything, but 1/3 is boilerplate runoff, 1/3 is tillable frozen granular, and 1/3 is covered with pine droppings and twigs. Need some new snow before anything happens up there. What a crappy season. Have to go to California and find some real snow. Oh wait, nothing there either!
2 PM
Skate Ski (Strafford Nordic) 1:43:47 [3] 19.2 km (5:24 / km) +295m 5:01 / km
shoes: Fischer RCS rock
New xc area north of Sharon of I-89 (not a great year to start up a ski area!). Frozen granular cover that had been groomed to thin corn snow. Hard and fast, and adequate. Nice job given the conditions. Trails loop around several large farm fields and into the woods. Most of the open trails were in the fields, maybe 8-10 km. Dodging lots of Ford-Sayre kids at the end.
