Channeling my inner  Tom Officer, I chose to include today’s chores and activities on Strava. This first segment is snow shoveling. Our majestic Deerfield River valley is the Massachusetts jackpot for snowfall. These mountains and valleys comb precipitation out of every weather system. Others got a few inches; we got a foot.  My dawn patrol involved digging out our guests at the Pumpkin Pine Cottage and then dig out our mountain home, the Wee-Pack-Em-Inn with sufficient space for our kids’ car coming later. Shoveling this much snow is a full body power endurance workout that complements other activities. So who is Tom Officer? I first saw him racing in the breakaway at the Tour of Somerville in 1980, fending off a junior named Greg LeMond. While I saw him from time to time I have no recollection of ever speaking with him. As an announcer decades later, however, he returned to my radar when he won the ancient master division at Battenkill. He reportedly woke up, finished re-tiling a bathroom floor, hopped in the car, went to the race, won, and returned to finish the bathroom. Far too many of us neglect to integrate physical labor into our fitness regimen. Far too few of us respect real work in favor of abstract “workouts” only to be dropped by a rider who reportedly puts in less than 100 miles a week. Two more activities to come today.
