"I Hate Snow!"

As promised I tried out my new wetsuit this morning and it felt good. I don't think it's any faster than my old one but it sure is more comfortable, and a lot easier to get on and off. I still have to have to ask a complete stranger to zip me up, but despite some funny looks it seems they always oblige.

After lunch I headed out on the road with the intention of doing a few hills, but in order to do so I had to head west into a very cold breeze. My face and my hands were frozen almost immediately and so I turned into the psych instead and did the block. I did a bunch of sprints between hydro posts and am satisfied with my effort.

Tomorrow I will swim again, (I need to keep at it) and then ride in the afternoon.

Late this afternoon Peter called and asked me if I wanted to go tobogganing with him and the kids. I said no thanks until Colby said, "Please grampa?" And that was it. We had a great time, and that's why I love snow!!

I wish to dedicate day 130 to Norman Miller who used to lend his horses to my dad when I was a kid, so that he could haul water to our house in the dead of winter.
