HP Yogi Rob Trudeaux took all warrior scalps in the 2012 Men’s 10k Open, going back and forth with marathoner Pete Mech until Last Gasp Hill! Yogi RT covered the course in new record time: 56:59. he graciously answered 3 questions before his defense of his Title less than 48 hours before the Start Gun goes…here is what he said:
“It was a genuine please having Steve Ilg in my {spin} class today. I became aware of Steve in 1988, when our Outdoor Adventures staff used his book, The Outdoor Athlete, for sport specific training. It was even more exciting to have such an endorsement of my spin class instruction. Many thanks Steve! I look forward to Saturday.” – Scot Davis,

• Full Wolf Moon – January Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. Thus, the name for January’s full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon, but most tribes applied that name to the next Moon.

during a pranic and endorphin induced post-ride high, i posted this pic on my personal Facebook page today after my 69-mile club training ride in which i finished first…little did ilg realize that one of my most stalwart, observant devotees from LA would c(om)ment not only on my Ned Threads (clothing) but also dig up the history of the NY Times article pictured in the background! for Archival Sake and for the sake of my newer students, i’ve chosen to reprint it below…enjoy, and THANKS HSBG!!
ilg recalls a particularly potent phase of my 80’s lifestyle in Boulder, reaching toward what i thought in my…uh…chemically altered state before going out – was my toothpaste. i proceeded to brush my teeth with paste from a tube of one of my omnipotent hair-gels…
we have been spending a lot of time together
hiking and after a few weeks i dragged her to a yoga class. it is ashtanga influenced \
class and although she hasn’t practiced in years she did very well. she said she learned to breathe from a yoga instructor by the name of
Steve, but she couldn’t remember his last name….
Unless you witnessed my Beloved through her pregnancy 5 years ago, one might easily pass off my Teachings as something “too athletic” or someother non-sense…just look at how Joy used her unswerving WF Devotion and not overcame medically ascribed “infertility” to conceive during my “Brahmacharaya” (celibacy practice), yet also transformed into Ganesha (the Elephant Goddess of Nurturing and Protection) in order to provide such an immense inner oceanic love station for Dewachen’s w(om)b time…
5 years in the flash of thunder…wow…
