Tapering for the GRR
Thursday Apr 7, 2005 #
Running (Commute) 36:00 [2]
shoes: Montrail Susitna
Ran with T-dog. Slower run, starting to taper for GRR. Yesterday's slush is now this morning's ice. Yesterday's ice is now dry ground, and the open fields are drying up nicely. Rivers are huge! Still lots of snow in gulleys.

Paddlng 50:00 [3]
BT's hydrospin with Bash, Thumbs-of-death and The Minister. Sets of 3-and-one. Technique felt better today. Bash ("The Wolverine" according to BT) was slowed down by a bigger blade eventually.
Paddlng warm up/down 40:00 [1]
Warmup and drills. Today's tip- reach far forward with the shoulder, but don't bend the body. Rotate the hips!
Running intervals (Commute) 29:00 [4]
shoes: Montrail Susitna
Sprinted the hills on the Roller Coaster trail with bulltetdog.
The snow on the forest trails is mostly 5-10cm of slushy stuff, but I cut over to the hilly trail through a gully, and did a faceplant when I postholed up to mid-thigh in the snow!!
Other sections are bare and dry.

Cycling (Trainer) 30:00 [3]
Getting the hang of reading my e-mail in the AM while warming up on the trainer, rather than sitting on the couch.
Running (commute) 40:00 [2]
Ran home with T-dog. Saw a beaver swimming in the swollen Humber River. Trail report- varied from dry ground or muddy sections in the open fields, to slushy in some shaded areas. Forested trails in Palgrave snow covered, from 2cm on some sections up to 30cm post-holing in forest clearings. Spent some time moving fallen trees, but forgot my saw.

XC Skiing (commute) 37:00 [3]
Yes, skied to work in April! Yesterday's soggy snow froze into a crust over 15cm of snow, so the skiing was quite fast. I had to walk one steep hill due to bobsled conditions. Good call to exercise indoors yesterday, as there were 5 trees down in the first 500M! Tomorrow I'll have to bring a saw.
XC Skiing (Commute) 40:00 [2]
Yes, skied home! I had to walk the first 10%, or slosh would be more accurate. The rest was spring skiing. Oddly the lower layer seems to have melted first, so I had snow over slush. In the woods there's still a fair bit of snow, and some post-holing when I took of my skis to cross a road. Waxless skis rule!

Strength 1:00:00 [2]
Usual wt workout + core.
Cycling long (trainer) 1:05:00 [2]
Longer slower ride on the trainer today, due to 15cm of wet soggy snow, howling winds and creaking trees keeping me off running shoes or skis. At this pace I can see how you can spend lots of time on the trainer, but a level 3 or 4 workout is so-o-o much easier outdoors. The trainer's just a grind at that level.
