XC Skiing (Commute) 35:00 [4]
Hard work breaking trail to the office today in cold crisp conditions. I love it!
XC Skiing (Commute +) 40:00 [3]
Easier ski home with less trail breaking, by headlamp. Perfect conditions!

Misc (Hock-ay!) 10:00 [2]
I just had to log this. 1AM lake hockey, with only 2 leftie sticks and 2 headlamps among 7 of us. The goalies had show shovels.
I joined in part way, but we were out there for quite a while. I quickly realized that my knee wouldn't take any whacks out on the ice, so I took up the shovel in goal position, with Hansel and Andycam pounding in the goals on The Bakes. (Said Bakes scored a good one on me while on offence, with a strong assist from Phatty. Phat and Zoolander were a tough combo too.)

XC Skiing (Classic) 1:03:00 [3]
Broke trails through shin-deep new powder all around Palgrave West with Bash. Great conditions, solid workout, and so good to have even more fresh powder!

XC Skiing (Classic) 25:00 [2]
I was supposed to work out today, but the snow and a very frisky T-dog beckoned. I tried out the new waxless skis, which glide a whole lot better than the old ones. T-dog took me further and faster with a brisk jog than I expected.
Running 46:00
Chuck Norris Adventure Challenge for Jerks, 2007 edition.
I was paired up with La Femme, and we made a good team with complimentary skills. We actually pulled off the win, against the heavily favoured smart and strong Bash and Hansel team, and the speedy PhatLander boys.
I may have also set a record for plunging through up to my mid-stomach in swampy mud- all the more reason to keep up the pace and not freeze my knee brace or body parts!

XC Skiing (Skate) 24:00 [4] 7.0 km (17.5 kph)
Hardwood Hills. I did a first lap of the Meadowlands trail by myself to see if that funny shortwinded problem I had was due to skiing with Goose vs Bash.
It's so-o much easier to skate on a dead flat trail like this. I kept up a good clip of over 18kph no problem. Trying to not lift my skis so high.

XC Skiing (Skate) 40:00 [2]
Second lap with Bash (30 min) & trip out and back to chalet. Nice easy cruise, yet not all that much slower than the first lap compared to classic.
XC Skiing (Classic) 1:25:00 [3]
Hardwood Olympic trails with Bash. I seemed to get the wax dialed right in and the new skis were just flying today, as I sprinted up all the hills and out-glided just about everyone we passed, in very fast conditions. Felt very good this time- no repeat of Friday's problem.
