Slow, hungover touring on Saturday on surpisingly good snow.
It felt good to be on the teles for the first time (!) this year. Plastic boots, touring bindings, forgiving skis and powder. mmm mmm good.
K swears there's a line. I only see a cliff. But that why she's K.

But that why she's K.Trainer on Sunday. Commuting and afterwork ride during the week. Heading out of the office Thursday and realizing that I didn't have a rubber band to pull my hair back. Flagging tape was the solution. 
Yoga from home tonight. 
It took many tries to get this one...
For the last 2 Fridays I've attended a 60 min hip-opening class at 6:30am. The scheduling and focus of the class are ideal, but my inner yoga snob is fighting this decision. I have issues with the teacher since the first class I took with her months ago. I objected to her consistent use of the word 'booty' as the preferred label for glutes, bum, sitz bones, tail bone, etc and did not return to her classes. She's the teacher for the Friday 6:30am class and so I tried it again. The woman needs to return her thesaurus and check out a dictionary. She instructed us to 'palpate the earth with our fingertips' and to inhale a collective, juicy breath. When moving into a sequence of reclining postures, including reclining bound angle, she instructed us to splay our legs out, or was it flay, or fillet? I couldn't tell. Accoring to merriam-webster, none of those words really fit.

The BCBR has added increased the race size to 500 and added new categories this year. There is a solo category and is enough folks sign up a single speed category. Of course, Scott will be riding HIS awesome Walt ss. I wish that I was strong enough/experienced enough to try the BCBR on a single speed. Based on the pain during yesterday's 40 km fixie ride I have a long loong long way to go before that is an option. sigh.
The race is also now starting in downtown Vancouver and spending the first day on the North Shore. That will be *interesting*. The logistics will be easier, but the "XC" on the Shore is a *bit* technical. Based on the written course description (no maps yet), the last trail of the day will be Pipeline. A great trail. Scott and I rode it last year on our first date weekend :) I also crashed and broke my elbow on it last July. A little less :) and a little more :-o
