7 Days in and so far so good.
I am not too sure what I expected but let’s just say it
hasn’t been fireworks, epiphanies or anything of the sort. I think that the problem lays in the fact
that I am so exhausted. Every year at this time I am exhausted so it’s a tad
tricky to compare one to the next. I still feel guilty if I don’t go for a run
or do something active; every dryland trainer’s voice I’ve had turns on in my
head when being idle crosses my mind. I
have already started planning sporting events and activities. The thought of being idle is the scariest of
all thoughts. Sure I would love to do the 3 day event at the trans Rockies,
sure I would love to do the west coast trail, sure I would love to do a bike
trip across BC, sure I would love to train for triathlons…..the list is
endless. Apparently I don’t have a tricky time adapting from one person
organizing my life to me organizing my life; maybe overbooking will be a
problem!
I would say that I am transitioning well in the skiing
department. The other day I went up
skiing with a friend and my Mom. We
started skiing at 2:30, skied till 4 with a total of 6 runs and then happily
hit up the patio for “après”; nothing like coming home! I can check that off
the list of transitions I need to make.
Currently I am in Vancouver for the BC Sport Awards of which
I received the Community Championship award last night. It was an honour beyond
words and an important pinnacle of my sporting career. I was flanked by 3 Canadian “cowboys” and was
humbled to accept the award amongst my peers.
Tomorrow I am heading up to Whistler for a ski day and my
last day of powpow. I hear that it is
dumping up there so I can’t wait…..no friends on powder days right??
Thanks for all your support over the last couple weeks!! A
special thanks out to Britt for supporting me in the grass skirt/coconuts/wig
ski program; I think that we have found next season race suit!!!!
