Night ski

Spur of the moment skate ski last night with Colin at the Nordic Center.

Donned the headlamps and headed out on a beauty under full moon and clear skies. Not sure how far we ended up out there but we were in the boonies, not a soul around after leaving the stadium.

Think you are in somewhat good shape then you hang out with Colin, my God the pace he sets. Still learning the old one skate poling technique which sky rockets the HR while turning the arms into jelly and the offset technique for the stupidly steep sections we came across, at a stand still almost.

Lightheaded and passing out 3/4 of the time with HR through the roof, but what a blast that was!!

The intervals on the trainer are still the same, just the durations are longer as the weeks go bye. Like wise with the Strenght workouts, the sets are increasing.

Fun afternoon ski at Norquay Tuesday afternoon with the family. Tied a harness around Seth boots while skiing behind him, wow what a difference that makes with helping him turn.
