Sometimes Martha’s job can suck. Much of the time it includes long hours, tons of meetings, resort politics, etc. But, there are perks . . . . especially for me. This weekend was one of those times when I was pretty stoked she is a PR babe. We spent the weekend at the Balsams nordic skiing, eating and drinking and it was outrageously indulgent.

Charlie, Tom and Meg chilling at Mud Pond:

We skate skied 3 hours every day, ate enough calories to last us 2 weeks and drank enough David Bruce that Alberto Tomba would be proud.

Martha and I thinking of the dessert table:

We definitely skied hard and got in some quality training. I rocked a coat and tie both nights and “had” to attend cocktail hour and dinner two nights in a row. It was rough. Back to the bike this week; It is 42 and raining right now. Perfect training weather.
