Langlaufen on ice
Run #44/50 - 88%: ✔

Todays langlauf session was also dominated by the hurricane we had on Wednesday.

_{The beautiful forrest from this post is now rid of the snow}

• Weather: 2 degrees with high humidity and icy tracks/loipen
• Distance: 8,8 kilometers
• Time: 1 hour and 17 minutes
• Pace: 6,9 kph
• Training Effect: 2 = Maintaining

_{The hurricane also caused some destruction in this part of the country and the tracks even had to be remade}

Last Friday I reported on the last time I went Langlaufen. At that time there was 50 centimeters of snow, that's really nice and thick and especially as it was new snow, even if you fall, you land relatively softly. Due to the rains that accompanied the hurricane, the snow layer had reduced to 25 centimeters and even less in some places. The rains had also left a lot of water on the field, so the loipen had to be remade and were really icy due to the extreme cold. In some places the loipen were almost completely gone and going uphill was a real fight against the elements.

There were parts were I could really make a good pace and put some new personal records down as the ice really helped me gain some speed, but due to my accident the last time and me falling again on the ice today at about 4,5 km in my run, I decided to not take any more risks and take it easier today. So whenever it went downhill I walked to part, just to avoid making the situation any worse and not being able to go run at all anymore.

_{Me, loving what I'm doing despite the conditions 😁}

Today I did the same course that I did for run #33, the only difference is that I only did part 1 once and that I turned off my watch when I went downhill due to the icy conditions. I guess my time would've been fantastic if I'd gone downhill on my skiis 😁

I am happy that I went, it was really nice out there and I didn't overdo it so that I can try and go for run #45 tomorrow. In total I was out there for about 1,5 hours and my recovery is only 9 hours. Here are some more pictures that I took today. Enjoy and keep moving, that's the best way to stay warm this winter!

_{Nice forrest, but it was nicer when it was covered in snow!}

_{There was some fog as well, but as the morning drew on, it became clearer}

_{A week ago everything was white, now it's more green and there's debris everywhere}
