Race Calendar Update

I registered for the Max O’s 5k on March 14th and the Wrentham Duathlon on April 18th this week to lock in those races.  I also registered for the Esprit Montreal Olympic on September 11th.  This race looks pretty cool and very spectator friendly.  The swim is on the Olympic rowing course, the bike is laps on the Formula One track and the run is around the swim course.  They also run a sprint, a half iron and full iron race on the same day.  The race is 7 weeks out from my priority race for the year – Miami 70.3.  I’ve been looking for an Olympic 6-7 weeks out so I’m happy to have added this to the schedule.

 

Snowboarding Report

Got in one day of snowboarding this weekend, at Okemo.  Again very cold and blustery, but sunny.  Got there early and got in 4 quick runs off the main quad before it got busy.  

Then the mob descended.  This is the singles line!

 

Needless to say, it was time to try other areas.  Checked out the South Face but it was even more windy, so made my way over to Jackson Gore for some lunch.  After lunch did quite a few laps thru the mini terrain park.  Was able to ride some rails and boxes successfully – although I took a few spills as well.  Here are some picks of the massive features – notice the average age of people doing these:

 

After a few laps there, did a few runs off the Solitude Quad, including 3 runs on the boardercross course.  With sun fading, called it a day around 3:30.
