Training Update

It's been awhile since my last post but don't think I haven't been pushing the pedals and skating like a mad man. As a matter of fact, I've been skating alright. Marsha and I took her nieces to the rink to see how strong our ankles were.

As for skate skiing, I've been able to bag 160 kilometers since my last post. Weather is Bend continues its strange pattern this season. We have had an inversion hanging over town for almost a week. This means cold frosty temps in town with 50 degree sunshine on the mountain. This has made for stellar nordic conditions and the need for a good sun block.

I haven't been out on the road much but I'm still getting in some good spin sessions. I spent a few good hours with Ironman Drew at Juniper Fitness Center. We pushed out a two hour session on the spin bikes followed by 1,000 meters in the pool. I haven't been swimming in over a year but I managed not to drown.

As you can see, the spin room is a very popular place to be on a Sunday afternoon.
