Out grooming today( giving back). Hmm looks like I have some work to do in the spring.

Birkie weekend

Finally doing a post about the birkie weekend. I've been straight up lazy since then. Now, the story. Headed up there on Wednesday with Brenda in tow. Met some friends. Looking forward to a little R&R before the race. Went skiing on Wednesday. Matt didn't make it because he was sick. I made sure to stay at least 3ft away from him at all times. Woke up Thursday, went & did all the normal Birkie stuff (shows, bib pick up, etc...). Friday, got up early and me, Matt, and his fiance Angela went skiing. Hot Damn it's gonna be fast I thought. Sub 3hr time I thought for sure. Spent the rest of the day chillin out at the cabin. Hooked up with some friends for a delicious meal. Saturday, race day, nothing major, just the pre game warm up and ritual. I did notice it wasn't as fast as Friday. Fresh snow slowed it down a little. Oh well, part of the game right? Had the game plan ready, set, go! I was off like a prom dress. Worked my way through the crowds. Passed all the people I knew, which gave me the motivation to go faster. Hot Damn what a fun race! I finished at 3:01:46. The atmosphere is outstanding! After the race, hung out with some friends. Had some beers, talked stories. Thats pretty much it. By far the coolest and funnest race I have ever done.

Ready to go. Hell ya!

Well Saturdays race was a tough one. I wanted to get a good start. That's where it went wrong. They said go so I went right to my face. I planted a pole right in front of my ski. Scrambling to get my glasses back on, the high school crowd was cheering. Got back on my feet. My glasses were fucked, and I was a mess. Turned the first corner, right back to my face, same thing. Now I'm way behind. Get my composure back together. Got into place after about 2k. After I settled in I went through a whirl wind of emotions. Should I DNF? Should I just ski and BS with people? Nope! I just put my head down and skied as hard as I could. Ended up 10th overall. 2nd in age. Not too bad for a horrible start. After the race I was left with the feeling of failure but, Brenda put it all into prospective. First, at least you got it out of the way for the Birkie. Second, use that feeling for a sub 3hr time at the Birkie. Well put Brenda. I will.

Had a good ski today. Thanks to my new training partner. Now I ready to kill my self. Fuck ya!!

Only one more and I can go to bed. Its all part of the plan.
