Driving to work today, I saw a bank with a thermometer. It read +32. Ugh, the worst type of weather for ski race waxing. 32 degrees and wet snow. Not cold enough to be crystallized snow, but not warm enough to be liquid water. A coaches nightmare! Anyone out there who has ski raced in the last five years? Do they still use yellow klister on days like today? Or has Steve Poulin figured out a better way? I gotta email the Schwartz.
But, even with the worst waxing weather possible, CHS distance is still running outside today. We got lucky, today is an easy 20 min jog. Bring warm clothes, bundle up Taylor Yeager style, as we are heading to Old Spenst Hill and back, not matter what the weather is. We practiced yesterday in hail and dodged lightning bolts on the way home, so a little wet snow will not deter us!

P.S. The reason snow is not good to eat if you are stranded is ten inches of snow is equal to one inch of water, on average. Imagine how many glasses of ten inch tall cotton candy you would have to get in you to get enough water in a Nalgene bottle! That's why is is tough to stay hydrated when you are lost in the wilderness in the winter. Yeah, I am a science dork.
