With some nice new snowfall it was time to dust off the x country skis. It has been at least 5 years since I have been on skis 😮  Since the race is coming up quick I figured I needed to get some training in….
Wow, I am really out of ski shape!! I only have cheap traditional skis and boots, turns out skate skiing requires unique skis and boots. Looks like I need to find a ski sponsor!
Anyway Sas and I headed over to Winding Trails in Farmington, CT. While Sas got in some snow shoeing, I headed out on my skis. I started with 10k to see how I felt… my hip flexors were singing!! Â After meeting up with Sas I ran into some friends and headed back out for a bit more.
Over all I loved being out there!! I cannot imagine 6k of racing before heading up the Auto Road, 4k and 2200′ of climbing…. oh boy!!
