Snowshoeing race 3:04:00 [4]
Snowshoe Raid with Goose.
I was quite nervous about my knee and fitness level before the race, but we were running with the front-runners for the first couple of hours.
At that point Goose had some bad cramp issues, we both got cold and I got the nav a bit muddled in the matrix, so we had to leave 120 points on the table and hoof it home best we could, losing another 40 in late penalties. Still good enough for 2nd masters.
Great fun running with one tough Goose, who sure left it all out there.
We got our butts handed to us by Bash and Dee and also Crash and Leanimal, but I was glad to be able to run that long without too much knee trouble. See how it is tomorrow.

Strength (Home Gym) 1:00:00 [2]
Workout 2 + the usual kneehab etc. and some sets of 12 pull-ups. Sheesh, 12 is hard now.
Also rebuilt the Omega bike with the new frame geometry. We'll see how she rides once it either firms up or dries up out there.

Workout 1 plus kneehab. I suspect I'm gonna feel this one tomorrow.
Snowshoeing (Commute) 28:00 [3]
Time to start tapering for the Snowshoe Raid.
I took the easiest possible route, but the first km was still post-holing.
Palgrave East was runnable in shoes.

Snowshoeing (Commute) 30:00 [2]
Easy and knee-friendly commute home. Walked the post-hole sections of Palgrave West, which is now getting a decent trail.

Snowshoeing (Commute +) 1:25:00
Time to start training for the snowshoe raid.
Bulletdog and I were postholing through breakable crust, and we did some hill intervals. Breaking through the crust knee-deep I could barely get a fast walk up the steep hills, and Bulletdog actually fell behind, even in my tracks.
On the hard frozen trails the Pond hills were easy and fast.
Bulletdog was totally spent by the time we got home.

shoes: NB MT 101
Up and over the "mountain" from Sumner to Lyttleton- view and back with Andrew. Howling headwind at first, but nice views made for a great run.
