Training Log Archive: kensr

Around town to see how the hip is doing. That was okay, but the R knee started aching.

Then ski-bounding the trails. That got the hip hurting.

Working on specific technique elements. Double pole, V2, V1, V2alt and a little no pole. Focused on initiating return arm swing with elbow and not hand. This tied body motions together and smoothed things out. Not sure it's correct technique, but improved it for me.

Moved in the last of this winter's 4 cords of firewood. Have almost 2 cords stacked in the shed drying for next year. Will have lots more to cut up after the loggers finish.

Also finished burying the water line to the lower pond. It had been displaced by foundation excavation. Spliced in a tee and valve to provide water for snow making this winter, not that it will be needed.

Up over the top, checking out cutting and additional trees marked by forester for thinning. Unfortunately, he kept going about 200 m past the property line and my neighbor now has lots of blue painted trees. None of those cut, however.

5 hours cutting roots and spreading hay on new trail cut at Grafton. Hay dust got into everything. Should be a nice trail, cutting to the R for 1/2 mile to hook up with the VAST system. Chance for back country exploring.

Stopped by to help spread hay on the new trail, but not doing it today. So braved the freezing weather and roller skied. Bright clear sun, quite pleasant until the sun dropped below the trees.
Worked on getting lazy L leg to push.
Out 36.47, back (headwind) 27.01

Around the trails, over the top. Checked out today's forest harvest in the new glade.
Preheated hip and easy run felt okay.
