REMINDER: I think that my maxHR is above Astrand's 220-age, but I still use that formula for the % since I don't know my exact maxHR and just want to compare one WO with another.

We're only 10, probably because of winter-break. My knees are better.. and I realize that maybe they hurt because of a pairs exercises we did that I did with a guy who was real strong. (écartellement)

SHOPPING at Sail, Beloeil

THE ONES I HAD UP TO NOW

These were the only ones available when I bought them 5-6 years ago.. They're the type that firemen and postmen wore at work in winter. I liked them except for 2 things.. They have me real bad blisters.. because the velcro strap behind my ankle pusted the boot against my foot. They are also twice the weight of my new ones. What I did like, was that they have an extra layer of warmth between my boots and the snow. / My Boyfriend is getting these so he can come hike with me.. He probably won't get the blisters.
HILLSOUND TRAIL CRAMPON

Tested on the trails of the Himalayas, Hillsound Trail Crampon is guaranteed to handle diverse winter terrains and weather conditions.   Utilizing an ergonomic plate system, this crampon provides excellent traction and less muscular fatigue for any winter wilderness pursuit.
SUPERB TRACTION CONONTROL
Eleven heat-treated S50C alloy spikes combined with an ergonomically designed flex-hinge guarantee superb grip on packed snow or ice without compromising durability or ease of use. (59$)

 

SWIX START TRAINING JACKET

OK, So I only went shopping to get my new carmpons because of the bad blister I had, but I've been wanting to get a jacket like this for a couple of years, and it was at 75$ instead of 149,99! It's a slightly lighter blue, with dark blue inserts under the arms in a more breathable material. the neck, waist and wriste seem the same.
