Skiing..again..and again

Top of the ascend in daylight

Out in the dark again-literally speaking as it turned out. I went skiing Wednesday evening, starting and returning to Movatn. It was dark, foggy and no wind. I felt pretty worn after a lot of training lately. it was though to negotiate the long ascend at the beginning. At first I thought the fog had something to do with my headlight not functioning properly, but as it turned out the batteries were low on energy and I had virtually no energy left when I headed down the hill again. A challenging experience to ski in the dark. It wont happen again-at least not unintentionally. Learning experiences: number of weekly workouts skiing will be limited to two, one workout in the evening focusing on hills, the othe workout during the weekend focusing on long distance and low intensity.
