I really want to go skiing!!!!

Looks like I won't be spinning today as planned. Tried to adjust my shifting and in the process screwed all the gears up. Now I have to wait until Tuesday until the bike shop is opened....crap.

Some spinning intervals to try to wake up some muscles...

Got my bike ready for spinning today. Tomorrow I will do a warm up and pretend time trial to see where I am at. Might prepare me better for Tuesday's real time trial.

Another spin class in Ushuaia before flying out. A super good stretch after should help with the aches and pains of flying.

Joined a spinning class in Ushuaia this morning. Not bad. It really helped wake up my body a bit after too much inactivity. Hopefully we can do one more tomorrow before we fly home. Next Tuesday we are doing our time trials in Calgary for this winter´s training....yikes is all I have to say about that!

I had to go to the very end of the world to find a pair of XA Pro 3D (non Ultra), but I found a pair and I am soooo happy! Good for at least one more summer of racing. They were out of the men´s shoe so Mike is still looking. Even though Salomon is saying that they didn´t change the fit of the shoe, there is an obvious difference in the heel, which in the Ultra has more cushoning and material (I´m guessing that is why we get blisters). That still doesn´t explain why both of us are now a 1/2 shoe size smaller, but who cares now that I found the old ones!

Did a few of the trails in the the Tierra del Fuego National Park outside Ushuaia. Some beautiful spots but the trails are short and not very challenging. We were lucky with the weather since the sky opened up when we had just completed the hikes.
