BACK ON THE BLOG N' SCENE
If its not ridin' its nordicn'. I have been trying to put some solid hours in on the bike, but is hard to do when you work all the time. I have done two NORDIC races so far and hope to do a third in T-ride on the 18th of this month (30k). The first race was a 10k and I don't even know what place I got, all I know was the elder Shriver was breathing down my neck until the very end, I managed to hold him off. The second race was a 30k and I got 6th out of 12 or so. Somehow I just knew the UNM coach and Sir Travis Brown would be puttin' out a mucsley pace, oh and don't forget the bearded one, he's frickin' fast for someone who hasn't skied much this year. I did manage to beat old Fergi and Zack, luckily the Capn' was racing the 15k, I did manage to crash in front of him and luckily I didn't take him out. Have you ever crashed on nordic skis? I always feel like I am going to brake those skinny skis.
On Sunday I managed a Mesa Verde (90+miles and 5.5 hrs later) ride with Colby, Mitchell and Lewis aka da dogger. I always enjoy riding with Mitchell because he has one of those, what you call it dave and Lynda? Power Wattage Meter Thing ma frickin' jickey's? And he always keeps his power in the 200-250 range and since I wiegh more (significantly this year because of how yoked I've become in the gym) so I know I am pushin' more voltage than the skinny man. We rode past the tunnel to the next climb before calling it quits. It was so windy that at times I thought I was going to literally be blown off my bike, it was brutal!!Brutal! Colby and Mitch are fast! So fast that after a quick gas station stop in Beautiful Mancos "Where the west still lives" I was getting popped off their wheel at the top of Mancos hill and Hesperus. Watch out I know Colby will be thrown' down some results this year but I also think that Mitchell will be surprising some of the boys on the circuit, he's riding faster than ever.
Iam back on the blog scene so stay tuned for more updates.
