Climb To Mt. Top



Today I had my first roller ski race down in Rutland, Vermont. An 11k climb up to Mt. Top. To give you an idea it's a mass start race, where we have about 400 meters before we start climbing for a few k. The first climb was very nice, I had to put together a plan this year, there were a few girls in the race that are very strong skiers. I couldn't go out to hard risking bonking, so I jumped behind a very young & talented skier, Keely Levins for about 2 k. The group stayed together for a few K, until I decided it was time to spread out the field. For a little while I was worried I had made a move to soon.



My attack broke up the race and for a few k I skied on my own until Alex Jospe caught me. We skied together trying to fend of the other skiers, I felt very good on the flat section...than we reached the final 3k. The steepest 3k of my life...I put my head down and went. Many times I skied hard in fear that Alex was going to beat me, I could hear her poles gripping the pavement behind me, they always sounded like they were coming closer and closer. Than I saw the 200m sign and knew I could win this race. It was a good hard race with some very good girls there.



Below is video from the race. Very early on. We all look rested & relaxed!

errr...sorry it has taken me so long!

I know...I hear ya! It has been to long since my last post. It gets a little busy in the summertimes!
My days are amazing right now, CRAZY busy just the way I like it...though it truly is amazing that I keep anything together with all that I am doing! Sometimes I am reminded to jump about 5 miles up into there air to take a quick breather and see everything else that is going on around me...makes me feel a little better when i am overwhelmed. Just think how small each one of us is.
I am working hard at work, things here are going really well. Training is also going well, mondays I am taking off from training & putting in some extra hours at the office, while Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday I am off the wall busy with catamount outdoor center 5ks & mountain biking after work. On the weekend I live out every min. to the max with training & seeing my friends, until the most exciting part of my weekend begins...The Little Bella Mountain Bike Mentoring program for girls from 6-14. IT'S AMAZING...On that note, I have a little more work to do & will update more next week on the Little Bellas.

zoom, zoom, zoom

ok...turn up your radio & blast! Rocking this! RAH! LOUDAH! I have been commuting to work the past few weeks, it's amazing what I hear. Either out the window by angry road raged rednecks, over dosed steroid meat heads & rich chicks on their cell phones doing everything besides driving a straight line. Of course I get a kick out of all of this because, really...let's think about this for a second...

My life rocks...in the fast lane, it's glamouris! No diamond rings, but hey, I got good friends that rock, all my adventures all around the world & of course I have one of the coolest jobs every...people would kill to work where I work. First class, in the fast lane.

So of course when I am being hollahed at hearing all these crazy things that I don't wanna, I just think about all the rocking I get to do & I have to laugh! Because really is it that lame for you that I ruin your day...because I am on the side of the road...hahahaha...muuuahahahahaha. Listen what I say:

LOOK AROUND...you see what I see?

Nothing...keep driving & rocking it to all your outragious music...turn up your radio, blast your sterio & RIDE! I never hear much you all hallah anyways!

& ANOTHER video!

I know, I have been on a video rampage! I'm "ramping" up for more writing! 2008/2009 season is about to start for me, I am ready to go! This spring I spent playing soccer, mt. biking, running, tennis, a little basketball a lot of alpine skiing & of course a little dancing along with A LOT of cooking! I have been a cooking machine the past few weeks, amazing how far I have come since I first started cooking in college! When of course my roommates would tell me it tasted great; but I knew the truth, I tasted it too!
Here is another video! Just FYI, it's close to the previous one, just has a few more pictures & a much better music selection in my mind ;-)

2008 Season movie!

End of season Movie, Country Music style! If you don't like Country music wait a few days & another movie will be up with better music selection. I buy music with my I-tunes but I can't use it in any other program :-( still trying to figure it out...in the mean time this is what I had to work with in Windows!
