How to be a real college skier: a primer

Step one: manipulate your schedule through whatever means necessary to only have class Mon-Thu between the hours of 11 and 2. Do not sacrifice an hour break for lunch.

Step two: wake up at 7:25 on a Thursday to shovel down oatmeal; haul ass to the training room to take a hot whirlpool before intervals.

Step three: run half an hour to the only legit hill in the Boston area to ensure that the workout will entail a full and excruciating exploration of the pain cave.

Step four: beast your 4x4 workout; elicit numerous stares from passersby.

Step five: return to Cambridge for stretching and foam rolling, disregarding time before upcoming class.

Step six: skip said 11 o'clock class to seek therapy in the training room; get denied from cold whirlpool because of open, bleeding blisters on feet.

Step seven: return home; blog.
