Saturday: Skiing at Glen Alps above Anchorage. Classic skiing on thin snow cover and no set tracks, it was a good opportunity to work on balance and coordination.

Sunday: No UAA team practice today. Danielle and I decided to drive north to Nancy Lakes for some ice skating. The conditions were really good.
Monday. A real no-nonsense workout - grab the ski poles and run uphill for an hour or so:

Yeah, it rained and rained for months... until it got cold enough for snow. Then the precipiation suddenly stopped. But it snowed a little more last night, and we have enough snow to ski above town. Before long, we'll get a change in the weather and then we'll be able to ski in the city. We still have important dryland training to do this autumn, anyway, so I won't be worried about the snow conditions for another two weeks at least.
ReplyDeleteSounds great. Here in Sweden where we live, it´s almost the same. But you have more snow, we haven´t enough to go skiing. But soon I hope. Rainrecords have been noticed here to. This is one of the wettest autumns ever. The snow will be welcome!
