POW day at sunshine

Today is opening day at sunshine ski resort. On Tuesday they had 24cm of snow drop and because it was opening day nobody had touched it.

Jed and I were about the 6th person down Wolverine run, Jed biffed it and all I saw was a mushroom cloud of powder in the air. The people on the chair had a good laugh as did I when I fell over from laughing too hard :) We were waist high in powder on that run.... it was great. By the time we got back to the top for another run there must have been 20 tracks. Our timing was great.

It's kinda weird how I have been working on strengthening my hips for my running issues. Now my super load bearing cycling Quads were quivering today. I was kinda disgusted with myself, not being able to finish a run with out stopping 1/3 and 2/3 down. We didn't do a full day, both of us had the opinion that we did not need to kill ourselves on the first ski day.

What's that phrase... a bad day skiing beats any day in the city :)

I AM IN!!!!!!

I just got an email from the folks at The Great White North Triathlon.
They had a spot available and I am in now!!!!

My summer just got a whole lot more interesting !!!

Early Winter Plans

Well the great spreadsheet has spoken. The EMS race test went well. So here is the battle plan to avoid getting HUGE this winter.

1) I plan on running every other day, on days I work I go hit the treadmill, days off hopefully will be outside.
2) I gotta start riding the bike to work 2 shifts per week, it's so depressing thinking how much I rode before I bought my car (damned... I can't believe I haven't found a name for the Saturan yet)
3) at least once on my "weekend" I am going to Yoga class at MRC. I found a podcast or two to do probably before sleep just because it gets me so relaxed.
