Now I am back in Michigan for break and I am trying to get back on track. The plan is to get back into training when I get back to Montana so I am at least able to race in the summer.
I have downhill skied twice now and that may turn out to be a winter activity that I could start using as a half-time replacement for winter biking. Especially since biking in the winter is much harder in Bozeman since they don't ever plow the roads.
Skiing at Bridger Bowl with Cate and Katie
Night skiing at Nub's Nob with Kelly, Mike, and ChrisOther than skiing, I have also been dancing. This can also be a little bit of a workout, but definitely not a part-time replacement for biking. You saw the boots, now here is the hat...
So I have gotten some good rides and some good XC skiing in since I have been in Michigan and I am pretty sure I will get back on track in Montana.
I never wrote about Iceman, but it was one of my favorite races ever. I raced Pro this year, in a starting field of about 80 guys. I ended up getting 48th, only 11 minutes down on JHK. The race was so much fun and it was great racing in the Pro field. The weather was 60 and sunny while I was racing, so I got to where shorts and a short-sleeve jersey, which is an Iceman first for me. When I finished, the last half mile was lined with thousands of screaming people and that was one the coolest things ever.
Kelly did awesome in her first ever Iceman, getting 16th out of 48 starters with an awesome time of 2 hours 35 minutes. She also enjoyed the race, so I think she'll be back. Mr. B exceeded his expectations for his second Iceman, getting 37th out of 132 guys in his class! Steve enjoyed his second stolen Iceman as well, and only pissed off one guy that wasn't even racing either.
So I will try to keep up with the blog and also to get back to tweeting, as I have been slacking on that as well.
