Digue de la Taillat; Gresivaudan, France
Second test on cross skis. This is an extension of the cycle path towards Grenoble but unsurfaced. It is not too bad to start with but the gravel gets a bit rough on the south side of the lake.

Reassuringly slow
I don't know why I was so slow today. 29 minutes each way. Out of practice and tired arms I guess. First rollerski of the year anyway.

A quick rollerski to work mainly on diagonal technique.

Lunch Skating in Meylan
A lunch skate, I'd wanted to do a couple of climbs up the Chartreux hill but broke the tip of my pole on the hard tarmac, will have to see about repairing it now.

Classic exercises
2m33 for the Chartreux climb compared to 2m49 last time on classic RS and 1m46 on skate skis. Still that's 50% slower on classic so room for some improvement.

Innovallee Skating Exercises
A mix of slowish skating and some exercises - Swiss cross, one foot etc. Remarks - in V2 poles are still planted too far apart and hands should come down close to hips. Not following through enough.

Classic training
A bit of technique training for classic. I took advantage of this gentle 3% hill to give a bit of resistance for diagonal stride. Getting reasonably comfortable at the end of the session.

Foehnski classic
A short Saturday morning ski tour with Valerie, I was on classic skis and Valerie on skating. Very windy and we had to be careful on the way back with the amount of junk on the roads.

Superloop from Labs
A slight variant on the Superloop, this time going straight from work which adds around 5km. Arms were a bit tired at the end with nearly 20k at lunch. I also took in the Isle d'Amour bridge.

Classic style by the Isere
A return to classic style after a few weeks of skating. Working on weight transfer for both kick double pole (pas d'un) and diagonal stride (alternatif) techniques. 4m49/km which is not too bad.
