I'm a bad blogger. That's not really an update, but this is. I'm currently one week away from ending my off season and starting my great 2017 Arizona adventure. After Iceman I continued to ride and train somewhat effectively. My intention was to train until the weather got too snowy. Two weeks ago the snow came to Michigan. I'm lucky enough to live really close to some of the best Nordic Ski trails in southeast Michigan. During the super snowy weeks of year I don't really like to ride my bike for two pretty big reasons. Firstly in the winter the road shoulders are pretty nonexistent and drivers do not even think to look for cyclists. Secondly the roads are icy and the training isn't as great as the risk. Instead I ski. I can get a pretty good workout in. Eventually I would like to put more time into the skiing craft but the past few years something gets in the way. When I first started skiing I was doing it on the weekends, offseason and mornings when I was running for the University of Michigan. Then Last year I skied during the only Snowy week (we were lucky to have a super mild winter). Now this year I am on the verge of skiing a lot but am lucky enough to go to Arizona in about a week. Someday, possibly when I am older I will ski race, however, for now I am happy to ski just for the enjoyment.
