Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Timato, Kristen and Aubrey came to visit. We skied to the baby gulch for hot chocolate, then back via the fields. A found the bush connector a bit much but did fine on the trails.

Another icy lumpy commute, with about 1 km of well packed trail in the middle. Nobody’s been on Palgrave West since Monday but me , so it’s still post holes.

Workout #2 plus rehab. Back to almost normal balancing on the ankle.

Poor Gentlemandog is really struggling with the breakable crust. AD can leap along but the big guy has been getting stuck and falling. I broke trail for both boys around the F&M loop.

The refrozen lumpy snow is still garbage for commuting so I drove to give my ankle a break.

Another tough one. Breakable crust over deep soft snow, then lumpy frozen post hole snowshoe tracks, a little bit of nice flattened trail then more frozen post holes.
Hard running- Arrived wiped out.

Even on snowshoes it's not ankle-friendly.

I hiked the rough bits home rather than running- still tough.

Tricky ski to work. Breakable crust in the first km, then lumpy frozen snowshoe post-holes. Palgrave East had some post-holes and some hard lumpy crust. I ended up taking off my skis and walking some downhills.

Slow and sloggy ski home as the crust softened.

Out with Bash and AD, breaking trail in heavy snow. We did the Metcalfe loop and also broke all our local trails.
I used poles to protect my ankle.
