back from family ski trip in colorado. fantastic conditions. 7 days off the bike, did a group ride on sat and totally slayed it, nearly an all time max W in a county line sprint (I know, dorky but I was feeling good). living at 9700 feet for a week with lots of time above 12,000, idk if that could that have influenced my oxygen uptake but I felt fantastic on very little sleep. no wonder tetonrider kicks so much ass when he descends down to take on us low-landers!
