Strange. I thought it was glided, or at least glode

It is glided. "Glid" is not a word in the English language.

Glid vs glided, slid vs slided are examples of the inconsistency of the English language. Glided is more common than glid, and slid is more common than slided. Linguistics says that that makes slide an ‘irregular’ verb, but that’s basically a circular definition.
