Winter Duathlon and Awards Banquet

Hats off to Don Schmichel for hosting the Loon State Awards Party last night. Tons of great peeps and teammates were on hand. It was fun talking racing on a winter night. As for today, it was another cold day in the Great White North. I did a double workout. First, I rode the trainer for 1 hour with stage 16 of this year's TDF playing in the TV/VHS combo. It's the stage where Contador and Leipheimer keep attacking Rasmussen. The Dane holds them off for the stage win up the Col du Aubisque while the crawl at the bottom of the screen says he's been kicked out of the TDF. After the trainer workout, I went over to the famed and storied Highland 9 Hole golf course and skied two classic laps. My legs were still hurting from yesterday's classic ski in Lake Elmo. If any of you cross country ski, you know how bad your legs feel after your first day of classic skiing...
