Welcome back!
It snowed quite a lot here for the last few days. Enough that I have been stuck bumming rides to the gym from people with appropriately prepared cars. I have been averaging around 40 miles of running a week since my last post. I haven’t spent much time in the pool but I have been using the rowing machine to keep that aspect of my training alive. I am starting to look at the calender for next year. I will post a list of my possible appearances soon. I am certain though that I will be beginning the season with the Jack Frost Time Trial on February 22nd. Its a 20k bike so it should be a decent performance test. I am hoping for a time in the 27 minute range but the course can get very windy.

We the northwest is showing its colors; grey and other shades of gray. So for all intensive purposes my training has moved almost completely indoors. I am going to still try and get out on the bike from time to time but the time involved with cleaning up after a wet weather ride is no small matter. Running wise I only have two good pairs of shoes and they dont dry fast enough!
I went for my first swim since Treasure Island tonight. I was very suprised at how I did. Of the three sports I believe I can cut the most time from my races with my swimming. Being my strong sport in highschool, I should be able to leverage my previous talent with a intensive training program. I just have to get back to my previous glory :)
