Hiking 1:00:00 [0] 1.0 mi (1:00:01 / mi)
First coaching session for Great Brook BKL. With Andy too young for EMXC, we wanted to give the GB BKL group a try. Thought I was going to be an assistant coach but really just thrown in to being more a leader than I thought. Should have read up or prepared for this more. Cute happy kids though - 3x4.5 years and 1x5 years old, so very young lollypops. We did warm ups, a pole walk hike/bounding up hills, and some games. This was the longest Andy walked on her own without whining, so having the group there was awesome. All the kids were whining about being tired by the end, so 1 hr is about the max on these kiddos. No idea what words to use to describe ski technique, but talking about squashing bugs with your feet for bounding was a winner.
XC Skiing 55:00 [0] 1.5 mi (36:40 / mi)
After GB BKL we took an extended break, but managed to convince Andy to go to Weston (where they actually have snow unlike great brook). Lots of messing around and just having fun. 1st time happy xc skier this year, no tears.
XC Skiing 20:00 [1] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
Did some fast laps at weston in between kid ski. Maybe a little generous time breakdown here.
