Whitepine Stampede

I did my 2nd ski race of the year on Saturday and man was it fun. The best thing about the skiing for me is I don't ski a whole lot and have zero expectations of a result. I just go out and try to give a good effort and stay with the pack. Well, I did just that and came 5th overall (1st in age group) in the 20k skate race. I was right behind places 2-4, but with there not being a lot of room to pass toward the end and me not having a lot of ski racing experience the guys turned on the jets and flew by the last 200 meters or so. I did finish with the group, though, and these guys do well at every race they go to in the midwest so I'll take it.

Here are the results: http://www.whitepinestampede.org/2013_results_20Km

Otherwise, I'm just clipping along getting in the training each day. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to some warmer temps so I can get outside on the bike, but it is what it is and overall I'm feeling pretty good. I have to keep in mind that the goal for the year is Kona in October so that is a long ways a way. Yes, I am putting a lot of eggs in the Lake Placid basket, but I am also going to Kona to try to compete not just participate. I keep reminding myself that once I start training like a true elite come summer time because of not having to teach, it only take me a few weeks to really get into top shape. All the work until then is getting my body hardened if you will so I can handle that training well.

Thanks for reading.

Hey there! Quick question that's completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be
able to correct this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.
Thanks!

I am really loving the theme/design of your website.

Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems?
A handful of my blog audience have complained about my blog not
operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari.

Do you have any recommendations to help fix this problem?

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more
than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything.

However imagine if you added some great pictures or video clips to
give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images
and videos, this blog could definitely be one of the best in
its field. Awesome blog!
