Black mountain. Enjoying the bluebird day and vibe here, but the runs are a little rougher and harder for a kid than cranmore. Had a lot of fun until I ran over her ski trying to get her off the rope tow that has an uphill unload. After some tears, tater tots seemed to make everything better.

Prospect hill classic. Went out the boggy brook for a bit then ran into Ari and friends. Skied around boggy and up the hill to Dana place. We maneuvered around some rough water bars and rocks, but sadly a ski was claimed out there (luckily not one of mine). I lost the group when I decided I wasn't into a sketchy downhill in the dark. Got some great sunset photos and went up around the orchard before heading back down in the dark. Cold, somewhat sketchy downhill with a headlamp.

Cranmore family downhill. Lots of kid pushing/pulling. Nice out but a bit icy on some of the trails.

Skate at Jackson. Wave laps are much better than weston laps. Good coverage except for the last hard downhill before the field and the fields themselves.

Wanted to get out for a run or something, but had to wax like a billion skis for the fam. Stuck on the double pole machine and barely making it to work on time. But headed to Jackson and hopefully some snow this weekend.

Zwift ride while it pours outside

Classic at weston. Managed ok kick with a klister binder (read left over klister from the weekend) and some toko red on top. Dragged under the guns but was pretty solid otherwise. Tried to go fairly easy, but had some master's guys try to race me up hills and I couldn't just let them win, could I?

Warmup, mostly on training skis but did one lap on race skis and forgot to turn watch back on.

Tuesday night race on slightly expanded course from last week. Show and go starts meant I was goofing around a bit before the race with a long warmup, a bathroom break, and changing skis. I was out still warming up on my race skis when the snow guns started to turn on - oh shit get to the start now! Overall seemed like a decent race, but I was maybe a little awkward on the icy turns. Over the cold so no death rattle going up the hills. Having not seen results yet my guess is this was a decent effort but maybe still room for improvement.

Long cooldown first talking with Amy and then with Ari. Nice to just be out and enjoy a good night getting sprayed with river water. Seeing the big spooky moon coming up was a nice touch.

DPM 20 min followed by 15 min strength circuit. So sleepy this morning could barely get out of bed.
