Another book from Hock’s Alpine Library

A dozen years ago, I bought this in Chamonix for its historical value, as the author, Anselme Baud, is considered the father of modern extreme skiing. Most of the terrain and descents covered are way out of my league.

On a different note, as a former nordic racer, my training year ends tomorrow on April 30th. I believe this is the first week since November where my log does not include some form of skiing!

My training week was a good one, indicating the successful change-over to this new season. Last week I logged just under 16 hours, on 136k (105k exercise bike and 31k run), with 3750' vertical ascent. I also managed 4 PT stretching sessions and one strength session.
