Chinook Arch and 'The Meadows'


You have to love them! No pogies at the end of November, and amazing sun sets. This is what many evenings look like in Calgary. And there is still enough snow if you want to ski, and no ice to be seen on the river. What a month!

For those of you who know Nottingham, this is a different Meadows. Much less scary, and far fewer burnt cars.

Water to Snow


Oh baby! Tuesday we were training on the water and today we got our first taste of X C skiing. So good! Can't have a better transition than that. After a hot tip from Ronni we found the ski racers secret early season training center, and only blocks from my house. So it has begun, and we are going to be the fittest ducks around. The only downside to the day was that within 2 minutes on skis I broke my pole so I had to hobble around with one pole. Luckily Toby isn't fast enough to make it too hard to keep up:)

Cheers
