I just spent an hour and a half out cross-country skiing. I've never done it before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how fun it was. I went Splat! seven times (I think), which is less than once every 10 minutes. I don't think that's too bad, for a rank beginner.
I wish I could say that I got better as the day went on, but the most spectatular of the splat!s happened as we were approaching the chalet to return our skis and leave. I felt myself falling forward and tried to tuck-and-roll. That may work in gymnastics, but when you've got planks attached to your feet? The roll doesn't work so well. *g*
Anyway, it was fun. I'll definitely be doing it again. It was undoubtedly the best workout I've had in a long, long while, and it was enjoyable. *g*
Living in Canada, it's about time I tried some outdoor winter sports. If I can find something I like, then maybe I won't hate winter. Now, if I can just find the time to try snowboarding...
