Winter Wonderland
As the snow has invaded Finland (we now have some 20 cm of it) it is time to let out some air from the tires and prepare for a flight over the handlebars.
Despite the off season in cycling, winter is the season for spectator sports. Since I'm a huge fan of ice hockey and during the last few years also a fan of Biathlon, winter means spending time in front of the TV. I also enjoy watching cross country skiing, that during the last couple of years has adopted some characteristics from the world of road cycling. Today I will spend in total 5 hours in front of the TV, watching speed skating, biathlon, floorball and ice hockey. I woke up early today to go to the gym and took a short ride in the snow, so no, I don't feel guilty of spending so much time inside.
Pekka Koskela won both distances today in speed skating, Kaisa Mäkäräinen took a third place in Biathlon, Finland is currently playing against Switzerland in floorball world champs and later on HIFK will play away against Ilves in Tampere. The thermometer is on -8 °C, so I'm more than happy to stay inside.
Enjoy folks!
