Pre-Tuscobia 150 Winter Training 2013 1.5
With only 4 times skiing and not a lot of roller skiing either, this years Tuscobia 150 could be a tough one. Conditions are mixed for me with plenty of good snow but temps are looking to be a bit colder then I'd prefer for optimal skiing 30-40 straight hours. The forecast calls for highs in the mid teens and lows a bit below 0.
The key will be keeping toes warm in xc-ski boots.

11 year old skis. They've covered a lot of ground/snow.
Gut Buster and The Wall.....they are what their name suggests, both uphill, steep but short.

Winter Training 2013 1.4
Time in Pennsylvania. 18 degrees. 90 minutes around 17 miles in the crusty snow.
Decided to buy a bike to leave here. Was recommended to visit the The Bicycle Shop in State College by my friend that lives out here. Looked at a new Specialized but decided on a rental close out. Price was right.

Winter Training 2013 1.3
Temps dropped this week....sking at 3 degrees and a couple fat bike rides.
Skiing on Timm's Hill National Trail. From Spirit Woods Ave (just past P) to C, where all 3 trails meet. around 8 miles out and back. Very cold, mostly uphill heading north and trail although hard, very ice crystally, really not much glide. A good workout!
At the turnaround. The tops of the trees were solid ice from the ice storm 2 days before the cold front moved in.
One bike ride on my urban route was really cold as I bucked a 15 mph head wind for part of it (-15 windchill....plus added speed of bike at 12 mph drops it to -20). No pics, too cold!!
2nd fat bike ride was a night singletrack ride,no wind temp was around 10. Heatwave!
Hartman Creek Wisconsin State Park. Little over 9 miles but in the crusty snow it seemed like a lot more. Good workout!
