Training Log Archive: Spike

A bit worn out feeling from the travel. Decided to hang out and relax. Watched the KU-OSU game. Interesting and fun to watch. I didn't enjoy the outcome. Then did some time on the landboat while watching a bit of the men's gold medal curling.

I am in Phoenix. I went for a walk to stretch my legs a bit. It is strange to think that this desert town has an NHL team.

Worked a bit harder than normal on the land boat. I was watching short track speed skating. Cool sport for TV.

Can't read maps and hate mud:

I've been meaning to get the trainer set up in the basement. So I did that this evening. Then I rode a bit.

I watched the first period of the Canada-Germany hockey game. I decided that I need to learn a bit more about hockey. I don't have any idea, for example, of the different approaches to defense or offense. I can follow the puck and I know the rules, but that's about it. For someone who grew up in Kansas, that's probably pretty good actually. I tried to figure out how many hockey games I've seen in person - maybe 6 or 7 in Stockholm, then 25-30 KC Blades games, and going way back, I went to a KC Scouts NHL game and a KC Redwings game after that.

I probably need to find a good book or watch a game on TV with a Canadian.
