Cross Country Skiing
I went Cross Country Skiing today. For the first time in my life. Inspired by the Olympics, I thought I should try it. Let me tell you--it was much harder than it looks.
We went on the beginner track, which is pretty flat the whole way, except for one little gully. Without any instruction, I didn't have a grasp of the techniques. I just kind of went with what felt right.
Besides my harrowing experience going down that little gully--where I fell twice, and then just walked down it--I loved it. The views were tremendous (like this one below)
And it was peaceful. Barely any one was out there. It was pleasant. By the end, I started to get the hang out, and on the last hundred feet or so, I was really motoring. I'm going to do it again. But, maybe, with some instruction first.
