Training Log Archive: Nev-Monster

Worked at Fresh Air, then wee run, and then watched True Blood for the first time. Not too bad of a show.

Now can anyone who speaks Norwegian explain what the locals are saying about this race:

Some strange results. One of my favourite skiers of all time was 9th (at age 45). A Brit in the medals. And another old guy at 4th. And the guy who was 40th. Interesting...

Event: Sierra Ski-o Tour - Ski-o World Cup Round 1, US/NA Champs
 

Ski in honour of Karl's 35 birthday with Megan and Steph Rees. Ottawa got a mixture of snow and freezing rain and the groomers decided it would be best not to work.

As Karl and Meg are racing the Vasa they wanted to do a mixture of legs and arms only and I got challenged to do the same. Legs only could keep up with K. No dice on the double polling.

No time for much training so went for a run after a busy day at work and then get to spend the night working on job applications.

Just above freezing with lots of ice. Ottawa is not a great winter running town. Edmonton, when it's not -35, is actually a nice winter running town. Hamilton as well. Since it doesn't get winter.

C • Hamilton doesn't get winter! 3

About 2 hours of skiing before, during and after the XC Ottawa Skiathlon which I helped out at. Fun event, conditions were awesome. As per usual, Nakkertok was looking great.

Skied for a while with Karl and Megan afterwards. They had done 3.5 hours of double polling yesterday getting ready for the Vasa so it was easier to keep up with them.

Oh, and I might have accidently signed up for the Canadian Ski Marathon.

C • Nice 9
