So Much to Report
Well I left everyone hanging at Thanksgiving. The meal and the rest of my time in Austin was awesome. Lately a lot of things have changed. The first was that I am now doing some pretty intense cross training. Weights, swimming, Yogging, and two new additions, yoga and Skate skiing are now in the mix. Cross training is becoming my new favorite training time, talking about mixing it up. Yoga was interesting and left me slightly sore, but the overall experience was positive and i see myself going again. Running made me ultra sore the first few times but I am now over that and doing just sub 1 hr runs, not too bad. Swimming is awkward. I feel humans were not meant to swim, oh well it's a nice change of pace. Weights always suck and i dread them. Now skate skiing is damn hard but fun as hell.
Since the latest winter storm hit Boulder the roads are icy and snowy. With all the snow on the ground riding isn't an option. So Abby took me for my first time skate skiing.
Abby: Pro Skier, had a scholarship to any college she wanted for skiing and can drink you under the table while smoking you on the trails.
The Skate Ski single track is a little different than mtn biking.
It also took me awhile to get used to these.
Skate skiing is hard as hell but at the same time very rewarding. I think my enjoyment will exponentially increase as i improve my technique.
Today I went out and bought my own Skate setup and I am really excited to go now. I wasn't able to use my skis today but my new boots and poles were in the mix. I went with Abby and Bryan. Bryan is damn good too. I can't wait to be as fast as he and Abby.
The location was North Boulder Park due to time constraints.
While this picture doesn't capture the circus feel that NBP had today, I can tell you it was packed. I also noticed that the bike geeks were out in force. All (like me) wearing their cycling stuff instead of ski stuff since it works just as good. However it was pretty funny, I think every team in boulder was represented.
While there has been a lot going on I will spare you and share only what is relevant. At this point in time the only important thing on my mind is me turning 21 tonight. Looks like we will have a good group out and it should be a blast. You can count on a post after tonight. After that its crack down time for finals. Until then..... wish me luck?
