Up Close, and Personal…
To me, sport is…
A game that must be played.
On a typical training day,
I do: I normally run about an hour day with about an hour of weight lifting and often some skiing during the winter months. Mostly, I spend my time studying and doing research in the labs on campus. Most importantly, I spend my free time recovering to prepare for the next day of training.
I eat: I eat a balanced diet of carbs, protein, and fats.
I wear: At least socks …
I listen to: Hopsin, Griz, and Dirty Heads
I recover by: By going sledding and napping between runs.
I cross-train by: Skiing mountaineering, hiking in the mountains, and sledding.
