Snowshoe Friday .... finally!

 Winter has returned again and there was a perfect amount of snow to do a neighborhood snowshoe.   It was cold too ,  -11C ...not that -11C is all that cold but we just haven't had much in the way of really cold weather this year.   This outing was a bit of a dry run for an upcoming Mt. Tremblant Snowshoe,  its usually frigid there.   Wore merino wool socks ,  used toe warmers then my gortex trail shoes.   Legs were wrapped in tights then a non breathable water proof cycling pants.   Up top was a base of the Mazino breath thermal compression shirt then over top was a merino wool 2/3 zip top and finished off the layering with a shell.   Got a little warm quickly ,  unzipped the shell ,  wool shit and breath thermal as well as removed the hat but used a buff  as ear muffs and a sweat band.   Achived a somewhat comfortable equilibrium .... just a little bit of sweat.    Cool it down 5 degrees or add a breeze and I would have been comfortable.   

 Was aiming for a 5Kish outing ,  didn't look at the Garmin and came in at 5.5 km...I was happy with that. 

Relive 'Afternoon Jan 11th'

Going Long Wednesday

30K's @ mostly 6:00 pace logged on the track at the Y on Wednesday this week.  Wasn't sure how this one was going to go but it was OK.  Haven't gone long in a month  so I was happy with how I felt.... a little bit bored in the first hour just wanting it to be over.  Second and third hour were better its January and there are lots more folks in the gym so there was a some distractions.
