VAIL! - Colorado 7

Our last day on the mountain was spectacular. We had bright blue skies, wonderful snow, warm air, and a great time. We decided to go bowling after skiing. "Bowling" at Bol. It is a wonderful bowling alley/bar that Charlie says is built up like everything is in Dubai. I can just imagine every hotel, bar, and resort built up to its beauty. But we are in Vail and it was something I was not expecting. We met an incredible women at the bar, Vanessa (I hope I spell her name right in case she's reading this). She runs an art gallery in NYC. Check it out it's awesome. www.Gitanarosa.com

After eating and hearing magnificent stories from Vanessa we starting our trip back to Denver. I drove through the Rockies, which is not the easiest thing to do, although it is beautiful to see, especially when you cross the continental divide and see the city of Denver in the distance, sparkling in the moonlight. If anyone has never seen it, it is a must to come out west to see the mountains and the city lights.

VAIL! - Colorado 3

Again, great day of Snow. Charlie and I met up with Herb this morning at Club 50. Good food, Great Breakfast ;-) We skied hard. My legs are taking a good beating but HEY! It's worth it. It was a whiteout again. We went into the back bowls and were met with wonderful powder, including the Resolution trail.

On a side note I was given an offer today for a Triathlon partnership, we'll see what happens.

VAIL! - Colorado

2/5/11

Today was good. Charlie and I skied a good five hours today at Vail. My legs were feeling the work. All those muscles neglected during Tri-Training. I feel the altitude sickness but not so much anymore, as I've adapted quickly. When I came 5 years ago I wouldn't have been able to say the same thing. This morning (jumping back) I slept in. Thank God. I had awoken at 5:30 with ease but decided I was fatigued from the traveling and stayed in bed until 7.

I started Coaching someone new today who I am excited about. She really wants to finish well in a half-marathon coming up. She has the basics down, she has the routines down, now all is to add the tedious doings.

Today's Workout

4x25 pushups, 1x25 full body Crunch
90 minutes on the bike
(skiing)
Upper and Mid stretch
