Doing something only once a week doesn't really allow the body to adapt. So I really wanted to try skiing again sometime during the week. I picked this forest service road because it is groomed for snowmobiling once a week and not too far from home. Luckily only 2 snowmobile tracks were in the corduroy so plenty of untouched smooth track to try out! This route was a tad steeper than the first tour I tried, so I was a bit nervous (the goal is to avoid plowing to stop). But my skins on the bottom of my skis, allowed me to kick and glide at a good pace for the downhill. Overall it was quite enjoyable! The sun was out after work, the sky was bright blue, no snowmobiles around so it was quite peaceful! I brought some sushi for dinner afterwards.
The next day, I was super whooped! I ended up over sleeping an extra hour. My muscles had felt like I ran a marathon. My patellar tendon felt awfully burny too. Things are still adapting!
