Winter Ski Training Continues

The snow has not been heavy, but sufficient to continue some cross country ski training over the weekend. I did 2.5 miles Sunday, and a full 5K today at a local park with some decent hills. Today's pace wasn't bad....about 11:43 per mile. It was inspiring today, going out cross country skiing immediately after watching the Olympic 15K freestyle cross country ski race. Of course, bit depressing that the pace for 15K on hills was close to 4 minutes per mile!!! (about 34 minutes for 15K), compared to my paltry 11:43 per mile. Of course, mine was the traditional style (non-skating), so maybe that's where the difference lies.....................
