Staying Healthy

A few weeks ago I managed a minor hamstring pull either skiing or pulling on the erg, not certain which. This meant some RICE treatment and time off. It also resulted in taking advantage of this crazy weather we've been having in Missou to do some easy riding. It plays with one's mind laying off for a while. I spent part of three days in Red Lodge this past weekend hiking the hill and watching the kids race, a result of someone forgetting his boots! It was actually quite relaxing.

I felt pretty good today, so prior to doing some core exercises, I gave a 2k a quick whirl and came up with a 7.05.8. That's my best yet on the shorter effort and is encouraging as I would like to press through 7 this year at some point between cycling. Rest, very important.
