Training Log Archive: Bash

Snow has been falling lightly for hours - enough to ensure a nice layer of powder on top of the crust that coats our older snow. It was great to get another chance to ski randomly through the woods, on and off trail. Some years we can't do this at all because we need a lot of snow to do it. It's fun to explore areas we would never go in summer because of poison ivy, thorns and wetlands. Even the uphill, deep snow struggles between saplings are great practice for using poles in ultras.

I bushwhacked into some areas we explored a couple of weeks ago, and it was cool to see that animals have made heavy use of our tracks to get around more easily in the deep snow. I guess they need me to go skiing and snowshoeing more often; I'll see what I can do. :)

Managed to tweak something in my bad foot somehow but it's feeling better now.
