Training Log Archive: Bash

Today I won Adventure Enablers' Valentine's Day contest on Facebook, which means I get a small discount on one of their races. They were looking for adventure race sayings that could be printed on candy hearts, e.g. "I always have lube", "I can do it for 24 hours" or "Talk navigation to me". The entry with the most "likes" would win.

My entry was: "Slow down - we all have to finish together."
I'm not telling my Mom about this, lol!

Unlogged treasure hunt, gently shovelling snow in the area where 'Bent thinks he dropped all his keys. Ugh.

High resistance skiing at Albion Hills! I thought I'd get out to enjoy pristine conditions before the Family Day Weekend crowds but a lot of skiers had been out already. I had my waxless backcountry skis to break trail but there wasn't much of that so it was like wearing boat anchors. Good training though! Some of the trails had been track set while others had just been skied in. The warming snow was a bit sticky but the snowy forest was beautiful.

A Day with Damian Warner, Canadian Decathlon record holder. I'm posting it here because it's cool to see what an Olympian does in winter to get ready for 10 different summer events. Also, Coach LD's brother is Damian's head coach and appears in the video. Something is wrong with the music though.

The Colorado trail runner who killed a mountain lion with his bare hands agreed to an interview. Yikes, yikes, yikes!!!
