Suspended ski conditioning for a few weeks during a trip to China. But for the walk on the Great Wall, good thing I'm in better shape than last year.
The trip was mostly to visit a few elderly relatives but also went sightseeing in places that are not on any itinerary of packaged tours. Ski buddy Bill went along for an introduction to China, as well as a old friend who has traveled with me in China before. A highlight was hiking a section of the Great Wall called Jinshanling. It's a little farther from Beijing than the usual sections (Badaling, Mutianyu) that I've been to in the past. Much nicer to hike when it's cool, compared to the usual summer heat.
