Gorgeous Utah. Everyday I look up at the mountains that seem to be calling to me. I can't get over the magnificent sight that I get to see every morning. The air is clean and refreshing, not thick and full of moisture (don't get me wrong I do love the 180% humidity of my beloved Arkansas, but this is a nice change).
I'm still trying to get used to the altitude change. But with each day my lungs are feeling better and better. I have looked up the XTERRA courses and I am hoping to ride on Sunday! Can't wait to see what this race has in store for me.
I have been doing GPP (General Physical Preparedness) since I arrived. Day 4 and I can barely move! My legs are so sore that I have problems sitting down, climbing stairs, general overall movement. But it is a good hurt and I know that I am working, to be honest I am starting to notice slight changes in my physique...only after 4 days? I think these people might know what they are talking about! Today was brutally amazing! Working shoulders, triceps, abs, biceps, and legs I can guarantee that getting out of bed in the morning will be anything but enjoyable! It's an amazing feeling....weird you might say, but when have I ever been considered normal? :)
We are headed up to Bear Lake tonight. Lizz is competing in a half ironman tomorrow. Can't wait to see the gang and to be a cheerleader for her along with the rest of the GPP crew.
I signed up for a mountain biking camp...in Canada! I can't wait to get up there. I leave in three weeks for Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. What a great learning experience this is going to be. I have the opportunity to learn from the best of the best at downhill, cross country, and overall mountain biking. I am so excited yet so nervous at the same time. I am expecting to get my butt kicked every moment of the two days that I will be there. But I know that I will come back a more competent and confident mountain biker. I can't wait to see how much this will help me for nationals!
Well I think that is all for now. I shall keep you posted about what else happens on this amazing journey of mine...
