january in the yoop

Its a long winter and I feel slow, wonder if it has anything to do with my new bike?



I just found out I'll be going to Arizona for spring break with Garrett. Of course the bike will be coming along and many miles of fun will be had. Until then adding to the pain bank by way of the trainer, I will be cashing it in come spring.

belic on the break wall

Before you look at these pictures bear in mind that belic is not a normal human being like the rest of us. We went for a ride saturday and belic wanted to "check out the break wall". I missed a couple of shots when he rode around the vents.

free time

1 1/2 weeks still till school starts leaves plenty of time for playing. Spinning a few times a week, skiing, and picking up the piano now... i've got a rough life but dont feel bad for me I can handle it. Heres a graph from cyclingpeaks of a good spin I had a week ago, 5 intervals pyramid style.



Tonights ski was nothing short of amazing. Hans and I went out to forestville with headlamps and hit up the noque trail. NOTE TO SELF: Never try out the hilliest course you've ever done in the dark for the first time, especially when you're no good to begin with. I wish I would have brought the camera, we skied over a couple of big wide open lakes which were untouched except for the xc ski track which ran right through the powder.

winter fun

Ive been skiing 3x since I got my skis and equipment. Hansy and I have been going to the blueberry lighted loop but tried out the fit strip right by my house last time. Its walkable distance and has got a couple K classic loop so I'm in heaven... now if I can just figure a way to attach the loop to my yard.
Now I'm in Chicago and went out for couple rides recently. This pic is of yesterdays VCR ride, we began with 9... this is garrett, my dad, and me. The ride was gross, the more you pulled the less mud you got sprayed in your face, how about that for a training incentive. One more week and its back in marquette.

Discos gone

Somebody should buy one of these... Im holding off for the team bus. :D

team spinning

I spun for the first time in over a week. School and work have been keeping my time pretty filled but this time of year I'm not too worried. I'll get back into the groove of it pretty soon. Tom has some xc skis for me so I may be adding another aerobic sport to the menu.
Done with finals thursday then i should be back into the swing of things with plenty of adventure updates.
