As an open water swimmer at heart, I got fed up with pool swimming about a month ago, and switched to almost entirely to cross country skiing 2-3 times/wk, about an hour per ski. I jumped back in the pool this week, and felt like I hadn't missed a beat; perhaps even a little stronger. I haven't had this experience with any other activity; certainly not running or biking. Now what to do about mud season - no snow and icy lakes. Hm.

If you have access to one, I've always thought an elliptical was good for cross training. After all, you are using both arms and legs, as opposed to walking/running/biking/stepping/etc. which all use only the legs.
