Hiked to Medicine Bow Peak from the Mirror Lake, by myself. Yep, got that right, all by myself! Ok, this was out of my comfort zone, even for me. It was lovely, the lakes were beautiful, the weather held up real good, even if I did start my hike around 3pm. I was not planning to summit, so did not take enough water, but the closer I was geting it seemed quite do-able, no lightning...so I said, hey I'll do it. The fact that there were other people on trail helped (very friendly, wow!), just in case :) I only got dizzy close to the top, and my fingers swelled like little sausages cause of the dehidration. But very beautiful, I'm so glad I went!

Laramie, WY - plutonic pleasures (who knows who and how came up with that...)

Green course. a bit short, but enjoyed every minute, including:
1) the compass thumb plate broke again, right before the race. Duct tape came in handy.
2) the left O -shoe came unglued half way through, (you can see the toes:), so now they're in a garbage bin
3) saw some elk or mousse or anyway some big animal, went back to check it out when I conquered my fear, but was gone

C • pale ale for me please 2

As "specified", the dinner training with Jen, Ian and Orlyn has been very successfull, topped with the altitude brew sampler, in order of preference:

amber ale
solar weizen
pumpkin love ale
brown ale
tumble wheat
expedition porter
7200 stout
high plains pale ale

just a good laugh :)

how does this work again?? put a foot in front of the other? well, first right knee didn;t like it, then that was gone, and left knee thought it had enoughm then left shin... then nothing... so yeah, it still works as i thought :) looking forward to very slow mo' in wy!

and btw, the weather for right now, 9pm, it sais "86°F (feels like 95°F)". it did NOT feel hot! at ALL! not kidding! hm... maybe all this time down south got me used to it...
