Fall in Salt Lake
The IMSSC just released its winter competition schedule for European Masters speedskating. My mind was buzzing with possibilities so strongly I could not sleep, and I spent the early AM researching flights to Norway. I think I will attend the Hamar race, and possibly stay in Europe through the Inzell event, as my dear friend Becky is in Switzerland, and I want to visit her (many gorgeous pictures on her blog!). As always, the sharp jawed beast of $$$ rears its ugly head. How can I afford this? but how can I not go to these races? As I might never be faster than I will become for a narrow 4-6 week window of time this December/January during my planned peak.
Joking around with another speedskater over email, they mentioned that once you have worn out three pairs of sneakers from dryland, you are getting somewhere. I am just about to buy my 3rd pair this season! Whoa!
Salt Lake is in outrageous fall color right now, although nothing is quite like fall in New England for the sheer volume of leaves, it’s surprisingly pretty here. Skipping the overcast chilly drippy rain is nice too, as the warm days & frosty nights bring to mind the apt term “Indian Summer”.
The below pic is the tree just outside of a coffeehouse where I am currently working ferociously on client websites. Today I added some new audio to Chad Hedrick’s Journal, put the finishing touches on Tony Morabito’s new website, added a new tattoo to the Dimon Sports site, created what you are reading now, and now I am going to do some editing on a friend’s idea for a book-media release. Such is the life of a skate-trash tech-head on a rest day!
So, here is some fall abundance, I like the tiny blueberries in this kaleidoscope of color.
