Well, like the rest of the Northeast U.S., Toronto is getting hammered by the big snow storm. I have shovelled twice (does that count as cross training?!) already today and I'm sure I will be out once more before the day is done. The temperatures aren't much fun either....it is supposed to be -40 d C with the windchill tonight....this afternoon it was a balmy -25!
As you would have guessed there hasn't been much outdoor riding lately. I think I have used my trainer more than ever before this month. It has become much more tolerable now that I have my MP3 although I'm having trouble downloading songs. For some reason some songs download and are 20 mins of dead air. I can't figure it out. Anyone have any tips?
I watched the two hour RAAM show this afternoon. It reminded me a lot of 24 hour solo racing except it is about 7 times harder. It seemed like a lot of the soloists went through the same struggles as 24 hour racers....nutritional problems, motivation, etc. Just on a larger scale. I was disappointed to see no coverage of the 2 person catagory as the owner of my team (Kevin Wallace, Gearsracing.com) and his riding partner won in a record time for the catagory. I guess because he is Canadian and the programming was NBC, they focused mostly on American riders.
Until next next time!
