There is a new group from the University of Calgary that is developing a new Sit Ski with a focus on affordable, they are looking at bringing it to market for around $1500.00 can.
Here is a short news segment on it, oh and I got to be the tester for this new ski so I get some screen time.

Las Vegas Half Marathon 1 hour 32 min
Viva Las Vegas!!
Had a good training camp down in Vegas last week did some good training rides on Thursday and Friday, came home with an extra $50 bucks oh and did the half marathon.
I have to say that the race was organized much better this year they had 26,000 runners.
Race day was a cold 2 degrees as the start and I don't think it got much warmer, we were treated to group of skydivers at the start jumping in the dark at 6am then fireworks to start the race big show and fun to see.
After the first 10km or so I though to myself I really don't like the racing chair its not very comfortable and I am not very strong at it but I had to get it done.
The course was mostly flat, the first 10km was slightly down hill the last of it was slightly up hill but over all a good fast course.
One of the highlights of the race was the rock bands every 3km or so they added a great touch and kept the motivation going, also the crowds were great lots and lots of energy and on a cold day in Vegas it was great to see so many people out.
Finished in 1hour and 32 min, 24 min faster then the Victoria Half so I am happy with the result just have to get another 45 min faster as I would like to be able to do the half in under 1hour.
