Frozen penis

No body likes to talk about this, but it happens. If boys aren’t careful when they go out to play in the winter in light weight clothing they can freeze their units. If it’s ever happened to you, you learn very quickly to take big precautions to prevent it from ever happening again. Yesterday I went xc skiing, it was only -10 and I wore my wind briefs. Maybe they are worn out because they are over 20 years old now? I dunno, but I froze my unit. Not too bad, when I noticed it was happening I turned around and skied back. I didn’t go too far, maybe 8km (total, so 4km out then back) or so. I went along the train track ski trail down by the river. It was a bit crispy but really fast… as a result I did a lot of double poling, one skating and V2.

I’m gonna get some new wind briefs and maybe some sweet ass undies from Doders. I’m pretty happy I wasn’t curled up, in the fetal position in extreme pain while the unit thawed out yesterday.

TIP: as DZ would say, when you go out to play, protect your junk – only differntly.

From yesterday’s Giro stage. Who’d blame him really, I woulda done the same thing…

Tip: when your chain breaks with 1.2km to go in a Grand Tour stage and you are in the winning break, it’s OK to yell f*ck at the top of your lungs and hurl your bike as far as your rage driven might possibly can.

Drunk

So today I didn’t intend to do anything.. so I didn’t. I went to the store and got beer and drank. Earlier in the day I got a call from Sheri. She was stuck in the snow. Not her car—HER. She was walking in the woods with six dogs and slipped off the packed trail and sunk up to her groin in the soft snow. The dogs swarmed her compacting the moist snow and locking in her leg. She couldn’t get out and had to call me to come and get her. I was working at home, grabbed a shovel, had to hike into the bush and find her and dig her out. Below are some pictures.

LIFE TIP: sometimes its good to be drunk, as long as it’s done in moderation.

Here's the stuck leg

I’m not sure I want winter to end

Today I did a 1hr xc-ski. The conditions were incredible. Its -4C here today, not a cloud in the sky. Snow has melted and re-frozen a bit and been groomed and skied. This makes for this sugary consistency that is fantastic to ski on. Too bad I spent most of the ski doing the fatman skate… I don’t even know what its called really, its not offset, not one-skate or two-skate, its this hybrid classic skate technique you do when your fat and can’t offset up hills. P9 to Huron, back down trail 1 past shilly shally.

It’s not like we’re BC or AB here, but every trailhead starts with a 2-3km climb. If you aren’t fit, its hard. I’m not fit. Still, I had an amazing day. A good for the soul day.

Amazing conditions + great day.

Workout: 1hr XC Ski
XC Tip: Wax is for fags. Unless you’re super fit, and speed really makes a difference who really cares. One Fat Man hasn’t waxed skis in 7yrs or so… and they still seem to glide just fine.
