2012 Year in Review

Ha - so clearly blog posts fell off the priority list in 2012. I guess there were more important/fun things to do. Anyway, here is a summary of notable events/activities from the year. This serves as a placeholder for any catch-up posts from 2012...

Swam < 1 mile. Biked 458 miles. Ran 806 miles. Total SBR: 1264 miles. No triathlons this year. Not the highest volume year by any means, but still had lots of fun along the way.

Happy New Year - bring on 2013!

Skiing at Loon - February 2012

Skiing at Loon Mountain in New Hampshire - February 2012.

Skiing at Loon Mountain, NH - Feb 2012

Thanks for your patience in seeing an update to the blog. Yes, it was a long delay in editing and publishing this video. Some more updates to come soon... For now, since today (publish date June 22, 2012) is day 3 of 90F+ heat in Boston = a heat wave, I figured what better way to 'stay cool' than to 'think cool' by watching some winter skiing...

It was a pretty tame winter, but managed to get in a few days of skiing.

Nothing too dramatic happens in the video but hopefully still entertaining nonetheless.

Some windsweeping snow going up the chairlift, a bright and sunny day, went over a few hits (small jumps) though not sure you can tell in the video, a random dude crashes midway through and I help recover one of his skis (I sped up that part), and finally just me making my way down the mountain.

Thanks for watching!
