3/3/13

Sat 3/2 - double, 85 minutes easy total

AM - 25 minutes very easy shakeout. Right leg more stiff and sore than I had hoped after yesterday's modest-paced session.

PM - 60 minutes easy, Area 51. Got the trail fever over the course of the day and thought that perhaps the snow had been sufficiently packed down by foot and snowmobile traffic to make it runnable in yaktrax. Alas, it wasn't and the whole thing was a lost cause. Any part of the path packed down was not wide or flat enough to be stable footing, the edges meanwhile were more reliable but the snowpack is still far too deep for tromping. Should have turned around the moment I discovered this but insisted on slogging through 25 minutes or so of this garbage which left the legs thoroughly fatigued. Did the calf no favors at all. From the looks of things it's going to be a good while before the trails are runnable, it's going to be a long month.

Thanks for the trail update....saves me the trip over and the punishment of making the trip and doing exactly what you did.

trails won't be clear for at least 2 weeks, more like 3-4. Then there's mud season.
