First off! West Virginia is beautiful. So green with large tracks of green grass and a ton of trees. I saw the Potamac River as well as the Shenandoah River (you know the one Good Old John Denver sings about!).
Just an hour away is DC and how life changes! Fast paced, tons of traffic and crazy Dulles International Airport! People watching is so cool.
Just down the street from our training center is a historic Civil War battle site. Once I get the pics developed I will show them off. Talk about some powerful sites.
Ok now back to Angel Fire. I did a lap on the course on Saturday. Wow! I had forgotten how challenging the course is. Thus the name! Lots of climbing, rock gardens, and a great downhill. That was it for me. I decided not to race this weekend (lack of sleep while in WV, as well as all the food I ate while there). Instead I hung out at a feed zone and handed water bottles to my RMR teammates.
Team did well this week, though we had a couple of guys end up at the ER for stitches and x-rays.
until next time . . . .
