Our Journey

Well Rob is back to his usual of running our energy stores dry, just like training in Mt. Hood.  The only kicker here in Colorado, is that we’re at 12,000 feet from sea level as opposed to the 7,000 foot elevation in Hood.  But for me, it is great to be in Colorado, close to home.  You would think I would be used to the elevation, but I just spent 10 days in Holland (aka SEA LEVEL), then 4 days in New York City (aka SEA LEVEL), then 2 days in Florida (aka SEA LEVEL) visiting Justin’s mom.

While in New York, I had a couple of interviews which was cool.  One was with the fitness editor of SELF magazine and the other with Fitness magazine.  It was pretty neat to be able to talk about snowboarding, sharing my passion, discussing my workouts, and seeing other women’s interest in what I do.  My hope is that I can spread my passion for snowboarding further as I continue this journey to the Olympics.  What a story it will be, once I get there!  

I had a blast cruising around New York and pretending that I’m a city girl! Haha A country bumpkin from Vermont and Colorado… It doesn’t get much farther from being a city girl! Oh well I had fun!  On a total side note, I went wedding dress shopping with my Mom and friend, Sarah.  We found a dress and it was such a blast! (For those who didn’t know, Justin proposed to me in August… What an exciting year I have ahead of me!)

Anyway, back to Copper… It just started snowing and by the sounds of it, it’s not supposed to stop for a couple of days.  We’ve got FEET in the forecast! So we’ll see how training goes tomorrow, as we definitely prefer a nicely groomed hard surface.  Can’t complain about snow though, we need it! So think snow!
