chillin

Been another hectic week with only 2 skis and a lot of work. No time for a hit out on the bike and plans for either have been dashed today with freezing weather at home with a good 10 mm of rain and continuing to piss down. On the web cam of Lake Mtn it looks stormy and the drive there today with snow predicted to 600 metres would not be fun with all the weekend heroes trying to get up there. Yesterday was a awesome ski on 10 Cm's of fresh set tracks, with no wind and clear blue skies. Felt great with the body coming together finally so the last weekend of August is looking good for the Birkie.
Got in a bit of TV action with the men's road race which looked like no fun at all but the last 10 km's was something else. Rogers was there and had a chance and given the last 10 months out with illness he almost gave us the goods!
Shame that the media likes to put a commercial break on during some of the most important parts of the race not to mention the news. I love watching the heat of rowing when I could be watch a gold medal chance live! The media only jump on the band wagon when there is a hope and when it doesn't play out they cut it off at the knees. However we are destined to see every bloody last bit of swimming heats and all. I hope that the track cycling and even the BMX get a fair showing.
