BIRKIE WEEK

It’s been a week, but I still don’t have much to say. So, I’ll direct you to my latest interview instead. Antonio is a man of very few words.

Also, I came across this humorous look at what it’s like if you want to start skiing. Scroll down to the bottom to find part 1 and work your way up from there.

It’s Birkie week!!! 5 days till the race. There aren’t any warm-ups in the forecast, so I think conditions will be phenomenal. I think I might have a shot at sub-3 hours. That equals 3:36 per kilometer. I averaged 3:45 on the trails 2 weeks ago on basic wax while starting near the middle of a mass start. We’ll see…can’t wait!

Quote of the day;

“You are never in the clear until you cross the finish line. Blowing up is not out of the question until then.” – Antonio Vega

I looked up the results last night -- a "shot" at sub-3?? Nice work!
