A Good Week
· Mar 9, 10:48 AM
Well, I have to give Mt. Bachelor credit – they’ve made phenomenal skiing this week. I don’t think it’s a stretch to call it the best skiing and grooming of the season (with the probably exception of Soldier Hollow), so I’ve been pretty pleased. The sunny skies and temps going from 20 at 8 to 40 at 11 haven’t hurt things either. Makes for pretty perfect classic skiing on violet like kick wax for an hour and a half or so each day. Then I throw a t-shirt on and drive back to town.
On the training front things haven’t been half bad either. I got a nasty little sore throat that moved into my head, but I managed to ski easy through it and it worked it’s way out. Kind of a mini-cold; either that or Ny-Quil should be put back on the banned list. I did some pretty hard intervals on Friday and felt a lot better than last weekend’s effort. That was encouraging. I have a time trial tomorrow, then probably one more speed based intensity before the racing at Canadian Nationals. Much “like Bird”http://www.krisfreeman.net/2008/03/09/what-do-you-do/:, I’ve had a hard time predicting my performances this winter, so it’s going to be wait and see. I think I’ve done as good a preparation as possible for the end of the season under the circumstances, but there’s really no way to know until I get out there racing next week. At this point, that’s okay.
I have a day off today, and since the tax office was locked up (with only a couple cars in the parking lot) it looks like I won’t be working this weekend. Maybe do a little baking and organizing of the wax box. I don’t know. It looks gorgeous and the temps are coming up fast. Time for a fun day I think!
