Scarpa Matrix Alpine Touring Boot
The Scarpa Matrix Alpine Touring Boot is the offspring of the wildly popular Laser. While not quite as burly or stiff as the Denali TT, the Matrix is nevertheless plenty of boot for touring folks who still want to muscle their skis around a bit. The Matrix uses three buckles and a Dual-Density cuff for a competent, but not extreme drive. Scarpa's awesome Dual-Density liner is also present in the Matrix, proving that you can be comfortable and still ski like you mean it. The Matrix really comes into its own in touring though, where its more relaxed stiffness will save your shins and legs on the uphills and approaches. After all, if your legs are so beat up you can't ski, what's the point of climbing up in the first place?

Training Tips
Proper hydration for a run includes drinking 30 - 45 minutes before you start and about a cup every 10 - 15 minutes while running.
One of the best ways to win a running race is to win it in your mind first. Visualize yourself running and winning that important race. The more often you do this, you will start to "feel" the race. Your heart will get pumping and your body will feel the effort required to get the job done.
Be serious about getting and staying in shape. Create a written plan that outlines the steps you are taking and the expected result by a certain date. Review your plan frequently and adjust as necessary. Do what it takes to get what you want.
Buy running gear made with performance fabrics - Supplex, Coolmax, Lycra, Goretex - that allow for full range of motion.
