Base 3-1 14.5 hours

Well so far this week hasn't started out well. On Sunday I got sick and I just kept getting sicker until Tuesday night when I got a high fever that finally broke. Now it is Wednesday and I think I am on the downward slope of this flu. Hopefully by Friday I will be back to normal.

Watching the Olympics I have really liked watching Apolo Ohno. Not sure if it his name, what he does, his composure etc. but today on Linsey Corbin's blog she shared a quote by him that is inspiring.

"If I have given my all and still do not win. I haven't lost. Others might remember winning or losing. I remember the journey."

I guess I will be forced to just rest up this week. I want to get back to the high training hours of this last block of base training that I have. You can't build a house until you have a solid foundation.

Saturday
Barely made it to Bohart. Didn't feel well at all when I got up and almost passed out in the shower. But I slowly oh so slowly skied 30km with team Montana Spirit and Wine Girls. It hurt but I think it was good to get out there. It was really fun to ski with Anna, Kim, and Jenna. I am looking forward to getting my ass handed to me running with Jenna this summer. I am also looking forward to training and racing with Anna and Kim. The day was great and the Gallatin Valley Land Trust knows how to throw a good fundraiser. The GAS guys are competetive about everything even winning the Golden Ski award. Good job everybody!!!!

Sunday
Slept in to recover from Saturday but really felt like getting out. The weather was sunny and warm. Got on my road bike for the first time outside this year. Rode up Gooch and crossed over on the hilly dirt road, then road over to 3rd and home. The ride took about 1:40. I tried to stay pretty easy and have a high cadence since I am still not 100%
