I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.

Cross Training...backcountry skiing
Spent Saturday and Sunday backcountry skiing the local mountains. Spent Saturday night in the yurt....I really love that place. The weather was really awesome, sunny and no wind. The "no wind" part is what was so great; I've never been there without 20+mph winds. The snow was not so good, but good enough to get some turns. On the ridgeline, we could see forever. The Grand Teton was in plain view, as were all the mountain ranges of central Idaho. Great skiing, and the workout was as awesome as ever; going uphill is never easy but always worth it when you get to go back down.
