Canadia Eh?

Just got back from an awesome trip to Whistler-Blackcomb Mtn which is located ~60miles NW of Vancouver, BC. This place is a giant ski resort, boasting around 7000' of vertical, and a decent base of snow for the year. I skied hard for 3 days, and loved every minute of it. It was great to ski with some good buddies from RPI who I haven't ripped with in years. Here's a pic of us hiking over into the Blackcomb Glacier:


Training has been coming along, I have been lucky enough to get down to Sacramento most weeks, so I got in a 20mile ride last week, and a 25mile ride this week, both in 70' weather, which has been amazing. I feel pretty great, and am focusing on staying well rested and recovered. I took some pics of my ride this week, which snaked along the American River Bike Path:

Running is also coming along with a 60 minute run last week, and hopefully another one on the books this week. Swimming however is lacking due to the availability of pools in Tahoe, which is to say, there are none. Lake temps are a bit dangerous at this point, but hopefully things will get rolling in the next couple of weeks.
