Cross Country Skiing

[roadie gal]

It has been SO COLD here this week. The low yesterday was -13F and the high was about 18F. Today, since it was so pretty out, I decided to go skate ski for an hour. It was a balmy 8F when I got to the XC center. Ugh! So I had to layer up well beyond the usual for skating. Then, I had waxed my skis last week when it was a little warmer. The pink wax that was perfect last week just didn't cut it today. I had zero glide. It was so bad that I finally gave up trying to skate and got into the tracks and WALKED uphill on my skate skis. It was a tremendous amount of exercise but no fun at all.

So when I got done, I went and bought some blue wax and rewaxed my skis. Tomorrow is going to be better!
