CRAnkWorX @ Whistler

This past week for me has been quite relaxing. I have taken some big steps in my life of living in whistler. I had been hunting for a place to live for the winter since had gotten back from the Haig. After some very frustrating no reply emails and tons of time spent trying to find a place without braking the bank account. I managed to get a room with a family in town. So now I am no longer homeless for the winter. I had begun my job hunt. Not so stressfull, but deffinitly important for me being able to train here this year. I had given my word to Jen Scholte, and made a brew bet with Lee (in other word beer was on the line), that i'd have a job by the 10th of august. Something which was hard without procrastinating. So the Thursday comes along and I finally get some resumes printed and get a couple handed out that day. Friday comes along (the 7th) and I made a point to get out and bassically give those resumes out as flyers. Most of the shops I went to said that they would see for the fall (since it is still the beggining of august most of the businesses still have all their summer staff until september at least). This made me realize that this was going to be a much harder battle than I had anticipated. Sunday came and, with Thomsen back from YK, the three of us (Lee, Thomsen, and I) headed up Whistler Mt. during that time Lee, smoothly mentioned, that "we are the... 9th today? that correct?" My answer, "yeah." Than he said "so tomorrow is the 10th?" i piped out "yep!" than... "right." I had no job yet... So seeing as we had not really layed out the rules of this Brew bet I decided to lay them out, and said "i can get a job on the day of. And that counts!"

The 10th came around and I decided to follow up on some of the places I had visited earlier. The first one I went to, the nordic shop, hired me on the spot! So bet won, and word kept. I am employed and housed for the year!

with my easy week i had a lot of extra time on my hands. I only worked 1 day of this week, so the rest of the time I had, I spent in the village checking out Crankworx.

These are some shot I took from the Slopestyle competition. This was one epic comp, let me tell you.

I totally enjoyed this week from a tourist point of view. But I am exited to get back into real training so that my days are full and nights are all sleep.

One regret from the week though. I missed the Cheese rolling competition. the legendary whistler Cheese roll! So next year I will for sure watch it. If not even participate. Deffinatly a regret.

I have a decent sized week coming up. A lot of intensity and testing, than off to Canmore for the BC camp!

Peace for now,
