A beautiful Valentines day in Anchorage. 27 degrees F, sunny. The light is coming back to us Alaskans. Winter skiing is peaking. Went to a great party last night at muff and zigs. Classic Muff party where she got people engaged and doing a joint evaluation of their spouses. Very interesting. Olympics are on, and at this moment I'm watching the 10km Biathlon. Tough race...mixed rain and snow. Tough on the late starters.
I went for a 36km ski yesterday from Service HS to Kincaid. Very nice conditions. most of the ski was on near perfect track, as the trails had been recently groomed. I've been wearing a heart rate monitor and GPS during these long ski workouts. My workout yesterday is shown below. Heart rate not quite as high on average as it perhaps should have been. The last hour was good in terms of HR.
Feeling good at distances like 30km and more now. However, need to get to point where 40km feels OK. This coming week will do some more intensity training.
