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.

A little trip to check the snow conditions.

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.

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.

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.

General DescriptionThe ski resort of Les Deux Alpes is situated in the Oisans area of the Isère department in the Northern Alps.

A little tour in the warm, maybe too warm, autumn sunshine.

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.

More for fun, we hired the Col de Porte rollerski track for a Saturday morning session of skating and exercises.

The climb was harder at the end than I remembered. In general it felt quite easy, not like I was really killing it. It took 32m44s for the complete climb with a VAM of over 900.
