Strength (Home gym) 1:00:00 [2]
Workout #2 + extra leg stuff.
XC Skiing (Commute +) 40:00 [3]
Wow, conditions are an absolute 10 / 10. Great tracks, brilliant sunshine, a couple of cm of fresh pow. I did an extra loop in Palgrave West.
Crossing over from Palgrave to Reddington I ran into a TRCA fellow, who told me they're fencing off that side of the conservation area tomorrow, cutting off my commute. Hope they leave me a gate.

XC Skiing (Commute) 32:00 [3]
Fast conditions in slightly frozen tracks home. As advertised, there's a huge mess where they ran a bulldozer along the trail to install fence posts.

Snowshoeing (Commute) 40:00 [2]
Skipped a great ski to snowshoe the Bulletdog to work. Also great, clear and -12C. Some heavy trail breaking, and Bulletdog got her 10 minutes of freedom.
XC Skiing (Commute +) 40:00 [3]
I took a longer route home after a tiring day, with a fair bit of new trail breaking. Sections of Palgrave are like skiing in trackset snow the trails are so good.

XC Skiing (Commute) 1:10:00 [3]
Breaking trail to work at -20 in great snow. The way back was in excellent tracks but it was now -2 and sunny so my wax was useless. Slow going but still a beautiful trip home.
Near home I saw some funny parallel marks in the snow, where some wee beastie's track ended. Mystery solved when I saw a Great Horned Owl take off from a nearby tree. More wing-prints nearby.

Snowshoeing race (Thomass Stars) 54:00
(injured)
Deep snow so we used snowshoes on Nick's course.
I messed up the first box with a parallel error and went way past B to E, but went OK on the second map and ended up 8th somehow, between Phatty, Tiny and LeAnimal.
I felt the knee but it wasn't too bad. The brain was more of a handicap.

XC Skiing (Skate) 1:09:00 [3]
Hilton falls. Soft snow and a lot of footprints made for some heavy going, but still a wonderful day out.
Running warm up/down 10:00 [1]

Strength (Home gum) 1:00:00 [2]
Workout #1. I rebuilt my ski map board between sets with much stronger material. (It broke in the Snowgaine.)
Snowshoeing (Snowshoeing) 20:00 [2]
Out with Bash and the beasties. Bulletdog got 7 minutes of free range deep snow floundering.
XC Skiing 2:20:00 [3]
Nice ski with Bash in Palgrave, breaking deep snow in a howling storm. Love it! Some good pics on Bash's log.
I discovered that zip ties don't work in cold- the little catches shatter.

Hiking 20:00 [2]
What was supposed to be an easy stroll on the crust with the hounds turned into a knee-deep postholing session. Probably zone 3 actually.
Bulletdog had her 6 minutes of off-leash freedom.

XC Skiing 50:00 [3]
Palgrave West and the Charlevoix trail. The forecast snow's behind sched. Varied from nice powder to "Ayeeee" suicidal crust on some hills with sharp turns.
Note
(injured)
Visited Thumbs-of-Death. Since the weekend incident, the knee hasn't been too bad, and T of D couldn't seem to replicate the pain. Until he moved my Fibula, where it connects with the Femur. Yep, that's the spot all right- locked right up, and I got my money's worth of pain, in the best way. Probably too much running on a surface sloping left, like the side of the road.
