Winter Duathlon...kind of

When: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 @ 5:45 P.M.
Where: Lester Park - Upper Lot
Duration: ~45 min x 2
Weather: Low 20's.
Activity: (Tenative) Skate Skiing + Road Running...see below

** UPDATE **The most recent trail report, from Sunday, indicates surprisingly good conditions, so we will continue with the plan detailed below.  Look forward to seeing you at the upper lot!

Description:
We now begin "Week 2" of Grandma's Marathon training.  For those of you looking for a guide, Grandma's provides one that we will be loosely following until race day, with some minor tweaks. Generally, it notes the longest mid-week run on Wednesday evenings, which we will be swapping with Tuesday for our Fun Run gathering.  For example, this week lists Wednesday's run at 5 miles, so we'll be taking rounding up a five miler this Tuesday.

Preceding the run, however, we will continue to make the most of the snow.  In spite of the warm weekend, it appears we will get some light snow Monday and Tuesday, which should freshen up the trails.  Accordingly, we intend to take in roughly 2 loops of skate skiing.  PLEASE CHECK BACK TUESDAY, as we will post an update if these plans change due to poor condition reports.  We will do our best to start promptly at 5:45PM with the ski so help those interested in only the run.

At 6:35, we will rally again back at the bench at the entrance to the ski trail to pound out 5 miles on the road.  I'm not certain of the route, but it is likely to be an out and back. 

Feel free to come for the ski, for the run, or both.  All are welcome and we hope to see out Tuesday!
