Tapering, or whatever you call it, I just woke up on the couch. This isn’t my home. This isn’t my life. What am I doing inside?
On This Day In History
Diving back into the archives on February 29th:
2004: World Cup Biathalon in Lake Placid – Just waltzed back from Lake Placid, fresh off a biathlon pilgrimage to Mount Van Ho. Gotta say, it was pretty darn cool, even if my camera skills were about as smooth as a baby learning ice skate. First 50 clicks? Overexposed oblivion. Next 50? A comedy of bad angles, dodgy framing, and the film (okay, digital sensor) capturing the adventure.
2008: Sun Sets on Warm Friday – Tonight I got the chores done in good time and I was able to escape my money problems and the work week with a hike with my dog Marcy. We headed up Pengally Ridge and got some sunset photos. I just uploaded a bunch of photos to my albums Spring Training and Life in Missoula.
2008: Race Equipment Arrives – The anticipation of spring always gets me excited â it’s the perfect time to prep the bikes for racing season. I just received a big order, and the first thing I tested was the new shoes. Initially, they’re REALLY stiff, thanks to the carbon sole, which kind of feels like wearing ski boots without the skiing.
