I was pretty tired from the yurt trip this weekend, so I slept in, then ran a mile with the dog. The run felt okay, no pain or anything. My hamstring held up really well during the weekend of skiing. I felt it a little bit once in a while during the hiking portions, but not during the runs at all. It was much better than at Alta a few weeks ago. I wore my garmin the entire weekend, and we covered just over 15 miles - 4.5 miles on the hike up, 6 miles during hiking and multiple ski runs on Saturday, and then another 4.5 miles on the hike down. Over ten hours recorded on the GPS. Not sure how to count this as cross training, so I'm not going to bother. I plotted it out the gps track on Google Earth, and it looks pretty cool. We had really good powder in the trees, especially for late March, and Saturday was one of my best tree-skiing days ever. The closest feeling to what my body feels like after a full day in the backcountry is after a marathon. It's remarkably close. PM - ran to the gym via River Heights, then did 20 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes on the bike. Lifted: - 1x15 @ 110 lbs, 1x12 @ 115 lbs adductors
- 2x12 @ 100 lbs abductors
- 1x50 @ 130 lbs hip sled
- 1x40 @ 70 lbs single leg hip sled (right leg only)
(Elite: 245 miles)
