Covered Wagon Challenge
Re: Covered Wagon Challenge
One week out!
I’m volunteering to help out another race this morning. I got stuck on parking duty. Once again, I’m amazed at just how awful the average person can be.
With all the race traffic we’re trying to maximize space in the lot, so that would be great if you could just park between the cones like you see everyone els…BUT MAH RIGHTS

Re: Covered Wagon Challenge
Trying to decide whether to race this winter.
Should I race?
I should prob race.
But to do it right, I’d wanna train, and that means nighttime headlamp sessions after a day of physically demanding work, and my best ski buddy I used to night ski with has since moved.
That means no one out there but me and the wild animals.

Re: Covered Wagon Challenge
Oh yeah - last year I trained my ass off and was in the best ski shape of my life, but then got covid the week of the race and could barely move any more, let alone stay awake for long enough to ski.
Re: Covered Wagon Challenge
last night’s training sesh I see a small commotion up the trail. It’s an ermine going all predator on a vole.
Re: Covered Wagon Challenge
Bro who do you think I am? Gimme a little credit here.
If I’m serious enough to train for an endurance race you think I’m not serious enough to give my lungs a break from all the bowl smoking?!
That’s why for training weeks I strictly stick to edibles.

Re: Covered Wagon Challenge
In all seriousness though, I usually don’t even do edibles for training, or solo skiing.
Out there in the woods by yerself, even a cute little ermine is more than enough to get you all paranoid even if you aren’t stoned

18th out of 105
Re: Covered Wagon Challenge
Actually, I was just cruising along when further up the trail I see some commotion.
This guy scampered off and into the woods a little ways, then turned around to drop the Zoolander pose for the camera.
I continued along the trail and came upon what appeared to be a recently ambushed vole. A furry pile of what used to be some sorta grayish brownish rodent.
I have a pic of that too, but the pic of the prey just wasn’t as photogenic as the predator going all Blue Steel

Re: Covered Wagon Challenge
thanks you guys!
during the race I thought of all these insightful things I wanted to post about here.
But now all I can think of is, I think I've gone from being one of the best bad skiers around, to one of the worst good skiers.
