Thankfulness and Illness

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

I went to New York to see my family for Thanksgiving and came back sick. Since my first race of the year is on December 13 this is extra bad news. There is not much time to get healthy and ready to race. This might be the hardest part of the whole training year for me. I’m ready. I’m focused. I will get healthy. Game on.

Oh, and we’re supposed to get about 5 more inches of snow today. This is just wonderful.

That is all, I must go back to bed.

That actually happens to me a couple times a week. As I am working my butt off out on the trails or roads, I begin to think of a really cool idea for a post. As soon as the workout is over, I quickly forget. I hate it when that happens. So, instead I will write a list of the top ten things I hate pertaining to ski training.

Survivor

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Yesterday we played our own version of the tv show Survivor here at Camp. I got voted out in the first round, which was a bummer. I had to sit out and watch the rest, which was mildly lame. Before getting the ax, though, I took part in an epic arm wrestling match that lasted about 12 minutes with no winner. I am a little sore today, both in muscles and feelings. This was also another great reminder of my lack of fast twitch muscles. So maybe I wasn’t a survivor yesterday, but I have been surviving my first full year of ski training, and especially the past couple months.
