Lucy is out exploring the Canyonlands with a college buddy

Yesterday they were off trail running in Arches National Park, with Devils Garden and Delicate Arch being the focal points. She has another 4-5 days of hiking with Steph, and then it will be a frantic week packing up, saying goodbyes, and driving cross country to a new job in Maine.

Back in the Adirondacks I had a good recovery week logging 15.5 hours, 154k (78k exercise bike and 76k ski), three yoga sessions, as well as a morning alpine skiing. My lower back still hurts from the skimo race, although ibuprofen continues to enable pain free skiing. Morale is good, as we have more snow coming, and Zermatt has gotten well over a meter of new snow … I leave on Thursday.
