We skijored the upper terrain at Breckenridge Nordic Center this morning. We always get some nice views from these trails:

Snow covered Rocky Mountains to the right. Sprint stretched Zorro & sprint tucked Jack on
the trail with a beautiful groomed track in front of us.

As we were flying around the trails this morning, I noticed Jack really getting into a nice speed form. The key to speed is really stretching long in your strides. Veteran Zorro is perfect at the "speed stride" but young Jack is just starting to learn. I said to myself, "We are going to be well over 20 MPH with the stride Jack is getting!" Well, I was right: 22 MPH! Come along for a short video segment. We surpassed 22 MPH somewhere in this clip. Zoom - go Jack go!

We did take one short break, so you know what that means....

"Rub a dub dub!" demonstrates silly snow angel rolling Jack.
"He's a goof; but he really coming along nicely when we are moving!" adds happy Zorro.

Nearing the end of the day's fast run - how's everybody doing?

"FANTASTIC!!!!" say the happy, happy duo!

A fast & fun run as young Jack is starting to get the "speed stride" to match Zorro: 9.1 miles traveled with 1000 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 22 MPH.

2018/2019 Season to Date: 20 days on the trails covering 105.3 miles with 9900 feet of elevation climbed.
