Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Despite a night spent hacking away, the conditions are just too good to sit at home moping. Great ski with Bash and the beasts, even if I felt weak and slow.

No Tomass for me though! I could walk the course, but just can't get myself to plod through it and finish wa-a-ay back. I suspect I'd push too hard and really get sick.

Lets face it, I count on more speed than smarts, and I'm not even all that speedy compared to the *real* orienteers.

Heck with my hacking cold, I went skiing anway. Just took it a bit easy. OK, quite easy. You know, I love mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking and trail running, but there is nothing better than skiing under blue skies in perfect powder through snow-covered trees in rolling hardwood forest. Even better with Bash, and Bulletdog and a newly revitalized Thunderdog who made snow angels.

Sounds like tomorrow will be the last ski day before the next thaw, so I'm going if it kills me. Um, well, you know.

You know I'm feeling like crap when there's fresh snow out for the first time this season and I don't ski to work. Supposed to be even more tomorrow.

Oh well, I still have more of a voice than poor Bash, who's been in bed since the THI party.

Really nice clear morning for a ride to work, but I'm going to take a pass and not get too much worse with my cold.

Easy commute- may be one of the last bike rides before the trails get mucky or hopefully too snowy to ride.

Note- I think I'm getting Bash's cold:( Oh well, I'm due for some time off training anyway.

Ride home- a rainy dark and cold night. Lovely!
Bulletdog thought venison should be on the menu, but slammed on the brakes when I yelled at her.
