Olympic Fever!!

Ok, so I've been watching a lot of the Olympics, guilty as charged. The fact is, I LOVE the Olympics. I'm particularly fond of the Summer Olympics, but the Winter Olympics have secured a small part of my heart.

How crazy was that Snowboard-X course. Professional snowboarders falling left and right. Damn that course must have been icy. That course looked so fun I wanted to jump out there and give it a run. I better start training for 2014!!

Also, how the heck do the mogul skiers have any semblance of knee's left? My knee typically hurts jogging and these machines are pumping their legs at ridiculous speeds. Respect!

I also enjoy the biathlon, man, I have a hard enough time trying to write when I'm hyped up on caffeine, but these guys can hold a steady rifle with a heart rate through the roof. Props!

Anyway all this excitement has come as a positive influence on me. I've cleaned off the old road bike and set to riding it on the trainer while watching the Olympics. Now I'll never be Lance Armstrong (and I like my nuts in pairs) but I do have a passion for cycling, and I'm thinking of doing some XC racing this summer. Yeah, I know, I never thought I'd ever XC race again. But come on, DHing doesn't really shed the pounds.

Also, I'm working on recruiting some bro's to accompany me on a 24 hour mtb race this summer, always been a goal of mine.

Women's Boarder-X tonight!! Go Lindsey J.!!
