Note

so training has suffered, but this is possible for the first time in forever:

Note

I flexed and ruined a shirt today. And that's without strength training.

Note

The DNR Conservation Officer Reports can be amusing to read - makes orienteering seem like not much trouble.

W4J indulged my brilliantly intentioned if woefully underplanned attempt at a point to point Waterloo-Pinckney ski.

We staged the Mini at Pickerel Lake, drove over to the Gerald R Eddy Discovery Center, chatted up the SOLAR group that was doing a winter camping class, and headed out.

The first ~1.5 miles weren't too bad - a few too steep sections that required unclipping. But then it all sorts of hairy, just too much unskiiable. So we called it at the 2.5 mile mark and then did a walk of shame past the hikers.

ahr:120 max:166 shoes: Rossignol skis

After picking up the Mini we stopped at Peach Mountain for a palate cleanser, which was infinitely more skiiable.

Chose my own adventure at Island Lake. Perhaps not the ideal venue, but location location location. Wiped out a few times during the stint on yellow. I didn't realize the former mtb access trail was marked closed from the Kensington Road side. Going on Kent Lake was fun.

Peeked at the dam because I had a few minutes before official park closure.

r/mildlyinteresting So the south side of the dam is under control of the Huron Clinton Metropark authority, despite being surrounded by state land.

Should have done this yesterday to shake out some of the xc ski soreness (mostly inner thigh).

Met Rick and Barbara at the fishing lot for Proud Lake. Had fun breaking the ice shelf (2-3") as we put in.



Went up to the weir, chilled a bit, then noticed one of the boats was missing, raced after it. Barbara saved the day by stepping in to make the grab. Note to self: stock dry bag with a spare hat.



Popped in east of the weir, but couldn't go much farther because of ice. Turned around and headed for Milford - had to get creative on breaking ice to make it to the community park.



Finally got it, then worked back to the car.

Great stuff, some fun wildlife sightings - blue heron, muskrat, ducks, swans.

Mrs. Wonderful wanted to go for a jog, and as a strong believer in (but not typically a practioner of) doubles, I obliged.

Hit up Peach Mountain. Stinchfield Road was full up, so I went back to the day care - ended up working out since the main park road was less desirable - it's been plowed or cleared, and there's not much of a track on the sides - no chance to enjoy the loss of altitude from the Michigan Radio antenna. Regular trails were all in good-enough-for-me shape, although I wimped out and avoided the sketchiest descents.

My favorite part is the downhill near mile marker #4 on my gps track - such a perfectly manageable glide. I should just do loops around there!

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Chris Pine is dreamy.

Moved the bike computer to the back wheel, but did not adjust for circumference. Close enough for government work...

Note
slept:5.0 weight:207.8lbs

2015 goals include:

Top 10 WT w/ full course!
MAR Point Series 1st Place
Top 10 Great Turtle Sandbagger 5.7
19:59 5k
1:40 half
50 pt AP score

General idea will be to increase consistency of training (Be Like Mike) and decrease weight. First quarter will be run heavy to enable Pig/rogaine, with a gradual bike ramp. A strong effort to at least do some O each week will help immensely. And more paddling, less for racing than just because it's fun to get the canoe out.

Establishing habits and checking gear. New tights A were not up to the wind. Tingly thighs by one mile! Probably should have used rain pants or another layer. Ow ow ow.

Also, the old motorcycle helmet called to me when I started to get an ice cream headache approaching the lake.

Moose mitts, studs, and using running shoes w/ single layer wool sock were okay, at least on this short duration.

Hopefully tomorrow won't be ~7°F.
7 PM

Weights 30:00 [1]
shoes: Barefoot

Radio said most resolutionists are done with the gym after three weeks, so if I do this for three weeks, I should be good to find a gym and it won't even be crowded.

Back to the MagicShine until I can figure out why ZebraLight +3700 mAh = 40 minute run time.
