Winter Training

Winter training has been going pretty well so far. I've been doing some road riding, MTB dirt road riding, and XC skiing.

This weekend was pretty crazy as far as training goes. I went out for a two hour jaunt with Chris Aten, Nick Boswell, Tom Elias, and Alan Antonuck in the snowstorm on Saturday. The unploughed dirt roads were a pretty big technical challenge. A few people went down on some icy / snowy patches, but we all survived.

After the MTB ride, I grilled up a steak and chilled on the couch before suiting up in my XC ski gear and heading out to the Arb for two hours of XC skiing with Nick. The conditions were really great for the Arb.

I came back to the CAF, grabbed some Chipotle, and partied the night away at the first cycling party of the semester.

On Sunday I went out for some more XC skiing in the Arb with Cory Dubrish. The trails had been packed down from all the walkers, so the long downhill path was really fun.

Today I'm pretty tired, (especially with 8:30AM class four days a week), but I'll probably do something easy outside or on the rollers.
