I went crust skiing at Glenn Alps on Friday. Although not up to the standards of last spring, it was sweet to be out in the mountains and in the sun. Blogger is not letting me post photos right now.

I am enroute to the much sunnier Washington state. I, maybe foolishly, am entered in the Ridge to River multisport race on Sunday in Wenatchee. It consists of the following: 5k xc ski, alpine ski down to the base of Mission Ridge, 4.5mi run, 19mi road bike, 9mi kayak. It has been a long time since I've biked outside, alpine skied, or paddled a surfski. We will see. I am mostly hoping not to fall over... particularly on the bike and paddle legs. It's going to be a busy Saturday gathering all the gear, making sure everything works, and hopefully getting a half hour of paddling in so I can assure myself that I can still balance the surfski.
