WE Valentines Day 2009

What a great week of training! Started Sunday with a couple runs at Sunday River before they closed up due to high winds. Drove the gang home Sunday night after lunch with the NEMBA posse gathered at Tom's friends ski house.

Monday on the Trance after Matthew's class, we hit the sled trails for a great workout. 17 miles on the snow (some road due to softening conditions on the way back to town) nearly 3 hours on the bikes.

Tuesday Allison had her individuals day at Berkshire East. I spent the day sessioning the mountain collecting coats for her team (she finished 25 in the combined GS/Slalom out of the field of just over 100 girls).

Wednesday used the Pantera, I knew there was a very short window of time for riding the snow before it got to soft. Left the house at 8:00 and got in 12 miles in about 2 hours before looped back to town.

Took Thursday off - the trails were too soft, and you have to rest sometime!

Friday on the Rush Matt and I went up to Wendell and got in some real elevation change riding 1700+ of vertical in about 12 miles. We were out about 2:30.

Saturday morning with the Trance I met Matt B, Mark N and Jason D for an early morning romp through Wendell. Only got in an hour up there - everybody's water froze in the camelback hoses so we cut the day short - 8 miles in the park about 1 hour riding time.

Saturday afternoon the Merlin came out of hibernation. Matt and I were joined by Mickey D for a 35 mile roady up to Deerfield and back over Mt. Warner. Just over 2 hours 800 ft climbing.

Week totals 80.63 miles, ~10 hours in the saddles, 5051 ft of climbing, 186 max heart, 138 average, 6400 calories.
