Cross on Cable

In case you don't already know this, thanks to Greg, there is some cross coverage this weekend on the Universal Sports cable channel. It's 251 on some local Comcast stations. Yesterday's cycling coverage turned out to be CrossVegas coverage, which should be repeated this weekend. Greg also mentions that Cross Worlds coverage is being advertised in commercials, and may be on soon.

I am very disappointed that I wasn't able to watch this. I found channel 251, but there was no picture! Just the "one moment please" in a blue box, and the description of the show that's supposed to be on. I called Comcast today and they said that I can't get that channel in my area! She said that my area must not be upgraded or something. I also missed the mt biking coverage listed as being on after the Cross race. I hope it works for some of you!!

As for my extreme lack of updating... there has been plenty to write about, and I have wanted to! I never posted about Cross nationals, for one. Writing and editing a blog post is a long process for me. Instead, I am trying to do some stuff that had been pushed aside during years of racing every weekend. I am trying to start on some of these projects while I can. I know what will happen as soon as the weather starts to improve!

As for trying to keep fit and burn off the winter calories, a week or so ago I got out the x-c skis and have been doing some of that. A little snowshoeing, too. Otherwise, alot of the elliptical trainer at the gym! A text I sent to a friend who needed a little motivation to get to the gym: gym = smaller pants.

I wish it were truly that simple!

yeah, Ben and I were pissed that we couldn't watch- and try to find him!

at the gym, just keep in mind the great feeling up getting up those WORS ski hills without it hurting next summer!
