SUMMER/SPRING UPDATE

Summers are made for two things: Work ( making money to ski through the winter), and Training ( so I have an excuse to play on all the toys and so I can go fast when I am not working)

This seems like it has been a very busy springtime due to all the work at the bike shop and trying to train how I can. This week we have the Tour Of Fairbanks bike race, it is going to be amazing, it is the first goal of the season, I want to either win one of the races or be in the top 2 in the end. I am feeling pretty solid on the bike right now, a little tired today while out climbing a 20 minute hill out of town. I hope to clean up hard in the time trials, it will be great if I can do that.

I am planning a few training activities right now in order to get in the best possible shape by the time it is time to ski fast. I have several camps in the mountains that I am working on figuring out. I just need to get clear of Fairbanks to not get caught up in normal everyday life to train my whole body to be able to do whatever I ask of it, more on those later.

The smoke has not been bad yet, we have recieved a whiff of it here and there but not enough to matter yet. The bugs have been great, not too many yet, i think with all the warm weather it has been keeping them a bit slower.
