Snowshoe Raid with Eugenius. He'd warned me that his knee was so bad he could barely walk and I might want to find another partner, but we actually raced pretty well, between decent nav and a bit of teamwork. We were ahead of sched at the 2hr mark and added a couple of controls to our plan. Unfortunately the snow was softer on the way back and we just didn't have the wheels. We had to hammer the last road run but were 3 minutes late and lost 40 points, knocking us down to 870 (and 2 places overall). Winners Griz and Turbo had 970.

Kudos to Leanimal and PGB- kicking butt 3 days after a huge race in Ecuador, and Bash and Coach LD coming in behind them in second.

A little easier pace- I realized that I chug fairly hard up the hills usually and this is taper time for my knee.

Shorter Link workout 'cos I couldn't watch the Olympics on PVR downstairs. And my knee doesn't like some of the Link stuff anyway.

I seem to be stuck at 70 reps for my big set of push-ups.

Great ski conditions out there- wish I had more time before work.

A little more fresh pow for my night ski home.

I'd heard from my Snowshoe Raid partner Eugenius that his knee has been so bad for the last week that he wasn't even able to walk well. Last night I got the call that he's back to walking so we're on, even if we don't run much during the Raid.

I'd have to rate conditions as "good to very good" for the first time this year here.

Nice classic ski at Mansfield with Bash and Phats.
Great conditions!

Out with an easy start with 2 dogs, then a good hard ski in pretty decent snow with the indefatigable Bulletdog.

Some solid hill intervals apres ski.
