Until the Snow Ends

I'm not quite sure how this happened, but by making crossresults.com my day job instead of my night job I actually got busier.

The reason I hadn't raced for a month is because I was frolicking around the western half of the country with Christin.  As you might know, the western half of this country is at "elevation" and thus I had ac...
