Tuesday, 02/21/12 Green Mountain

Up/Down front

3.89 miles/2,285 vert./1:01:22 (41:11 up)/avg HR 158  Garmin Data

The wind has raised a bit of havoc on the trails, drifting the snow in spots to the point where there may as well have not been a trail underneath and it was often at a sidehill angle that involved some significant slipping and sliding.  Either way though, it was a lot of fun out there today and managed to sneak up/down during a relative lull in the wind.  Went what felt to be a moderately moderate effort, easy cruising on the packed trail, a bit more work in the drifted sections when breaking trail.  Went a mellow pace on the down and some sections seemed to be as much work as on the ascent.

  1. How many Greens this year? You have to be the mayor at current pace.

  2. I have not counted, but I am guessing that Tony probably has twice as many or more. Homie might even have more as well, as he has been going every day. I only average about 3 times per week, sometimes only 2.

  3. I'm at 18. All of those in the last 19 days. I was lazy in January.

  4. #59 this (Wed) morning for me. And it was a b****. The drifted snow up there right now is pretty bad. Tomorrow morning will definitely be an off-trail excursion trying to stick to wind-scoured bare spots.
