Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I had my first big spring bike ride this weekend - beautiful weather but the roads left something to be desired, potholed and covered in gravel after a harsh winter.
I found myself using lessons taken away from skiing on the descents - particularly staying forward through turns but also using the same techniques I use in skiing to stay calm and relaxed at speed instead of tightening up. The only problem was resisting the urge to try to hockey stop when I did have to come to a halt! Something tells me that wouldn't have gone well.
Has anyone else noticed these parallels? How about taking lessons from skiing to other sports?
