its been a couple days since I've posted, but there's not much really to report. Work has been terrible and my wife has been sick, so I haven't been able to get out and do anything. I feel like I've wasted the entire week. I've only got 2 weeks until my first planned meet,so I need to get it gear. I've got a bad feeling that all my short run poles are going to get too small, and my long run poles are going to be too big. I've got a pretty big gap in my line since I always went from short run back to long run, never in between before....

maybe I'll just cut off some fo my long run poles, or call Nordic and Catapole and see if I can get some free poles or something....
