Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Foothab, kneehab, workout 1, kbs, some core, anything I could think of while watching it rain outside.

Great ski with Bash and Greg Y- map link: http://www.ar.attackpoint.org/sessiondata.jsp?sess...

Greg took us on a tour of the backcountry trails behind his place down to the Bruce, then I took us on a tour of the southern half near where I used to live.
Snow conditions were mostly fantastic, with some breakable crust and ice.
Even got a couple of Tele runs in. We skied all we could, before the big slush-fest forecast tomorrow.

Possibly my favourite activity of all, out with friends/family breaking trail and exploring untouched trails in the 'hood.
Only thing better would be to have a well behaved hound along.

Out with the Bazingadog to fetch my van. Snow was still not bad, but getting sticky. We spotted 3 deer but he just put the hammer down on the trail, thankfully not trying to take off into the bush with me attached.
Tracks in Palgrave are great right now- hopefully they survive.

Nice headlamp ski home in perfect conditions. The big guy was in a hauling mood too, rather than exhibiting "after you" manners.

For the new year, Caron threw in my most hated sequence of exercises. Gonna be so-o-o-re...

Progressive yoga. Not too bad, given that I've mainly been doing lumberjack work for strength.

Most of workout 3 and foot/kneehab

Great ski in with Bazingadog. Still deep snow out there- our tracks from Monday are gone, but we found some new ones.
Excellent conditions!! The big guy had a great romp, and is wiped out.

Ugh- Bullfrog van is pretty sick- transmission cooler somehow leaked into the rad, so it got full of transmission fluid and the tranny full of antifreeze.
At best I need a new rad and trans. flush, at worst a new transmission. Damn, I'd rather spend the $ on a Rohloff transmission for my 'bent.

C • Rohloff 4

Aargh- tons of snow out there just begging for a ski commute but howling winds forecast later just waiting to drop tree limbs on me. Also a severe wind chill, but I love that.

Woo Hoo, Bash offered me a ride home during the unsafe afternoon so I could ski to work.

Bazingadog and I broke trail - solid workout for both of us as he was chest-deep and we had to keep the pace up, even with leaving just at first light.
Love it!

C • agreed! 5

Nice run in Palgrave with Greg Y and the BARFs. Trails are pretty good- only one bad obstruction that requires a bushwhack.

Snow stopped falling, so I hooked up Bazingadog to the skijoring harness and headed out with Bash. It's still icy under the snow, so we had to stick to the Palgrave doubletrack only, but at least the lad is tired now.

Foot/kneehab.
