Powder Pooped!

After riding the past three days at Mt. Baker my ass is beat. I am completely exhausted. I went to school today and had one hell of a time trying to keep my head up and be positive. I really do not like complaining and it is one of my worst character traits, so I had to try REALLY hard not to bitch and moan about how completely drained I am. I think that I over did it to the point of actually being angry at myself. Lets go back and evaluate the events of the weekend to see where I may have screwed myself over.

Friday Night:

• hung out at the house and drank beers.

Saturday Morning:

• woke up at 530 to go to the mountain.

• 700 got pulled over for "speeding" (the cop was a dick and I'm gonna fight it, but that's another story)

• rode pow in-bounds and got freshies until Noon!
• drank a couple beers.
• Hiked the Arm
• Drank a couple beers.
• Had a sandwich.
• Rode some more.

Saturday night:

• Got a flick and stayed in.

Sunday:

• No overnight snow so woke up later
• Rode the mountain
• Drank beers
• Ate a sandwich
• Stopped by the Mount Baker Snowboard Shop. (Thanks for hooking Terence up!)

Sunday night:

• Partied with Ian Harper for his big 25 b-day.
  
• Drank a bunch of good beers.
• Ate a bad-ass pasta salad. (Thanks, Colleen!)

Monday:

• Drove up to support my peeps in the Legendary Mount Baker Banked Slalom Locals Qualifier. (Why the longwindedness?)
• Drank some beers.
• Hiked Hemishperes
• Drank a little water.
• Drank a beer.
• Ate a bunch of baby carrots.

I guess there are two major factors at play here. First and foremost, not enough water. Second, I need to eat. Third, I left out all of the nonsensical cigarettes that I smoke, to which there would be too many pauses for a smoke break whilst, trying to read between all of the smoke breaks.

I hope you enjoyed my photos and have learned a very valuable lesson. Get outside and play as much as you can, just remember to eat plenty of food, and drink lots of water! (Good beer, too!)
