Sunday Dec 9

Note
I worked 66.5 hours this week, and on my day off (today), Gina and I aced the Street Scramble course (clearing all but one).

If I had the Street Scramble results, I'd probably format and post them tonight, but I don't, and I'm tired, and I'm going to bed, despite it only being 5:15pm.

Street Scramble at the Market
Team with Gina
950 points, 1st place corporate, 11th place overall (of 103)

Write-up to follow, but the big milestone: I earned my 10,000th Street Scramble checkpoint here (more specifically, at the Walgreen's at 3rd and Pike).

Saturday Dec 8

Note
Street Scramble tomorrow (too bad it was pushed back, the weather today is AMAZING and there's 40% chance of snow showers tomorrow), and 7 REACH teams are coming. Gina and I have our work cut out for us, as one of the teams consists of two runner people, one of whom ran with Vlad in Fremont and finished 2nd to us.

We're going to really improve our team efficiency within the circles, something that Nick and I did really well. Speaking of Nick, we've talked teaming up for a Scramble in '08 (and having the girls team up, too). We didn't run together all year.

I haven't had much time to work on the new OK suits this week. I think we'll stick with the unisex sizing. I've got a bit of a color dilemma with my design. Going with the old school colors of pink and blue, it's a florescent pink and a powder/sky blue. However, if we go with the better orienteering jerseys (Atak), the only blue I can use with my #1 design is royal. It still looks really sharp with the square OK logo, and the royal blue is both a) a current OK color and b) a current KU color. But, part of me wants to get that brighter blue. The pink isn't going to be a problem, as it's only used on the sublimated panels of my design.

Some alternatives:
1) Go with another style of jersey.
Pros: I can select any color and put it anywhere I want.
Cons: It's not as durable or breathable.

2) Stick with current design and Atak jersey and keep current OK colors (royal, black, white).
Pros: I can keep the design, which I like.
Cons: Zero (or limited) pink. Plus, the OK logos will look much less sharp with this color contrast. (It looks really sharp with my favorite color combo).

3) Stick with Atak jersey, but completely redo the design.
Pros: It'll have the lighter blue and the bright pink.
Cons: It'll have significant areas of black or white, or lots of color-contrasting panels. I probably won't like the design as much.

Volleyball 1:30:00 [2]
shoes: Pearl Izumi SyncroFloat
Co-ed Volleyball, Seattle B-League.

Went 1-4, but we should have gone 2-3. Our captain is still a pain to deal with... only two more weeks of that and then she moves.

Kate and I, despite being the two best hitters on the team, decided to play side-by-side. This meant that in the front row, we were able to set each other up well and get tons of points. However, when the two of us got stuck in the back row, then it was bad. But, this rotation seemed to work better than the others.

I don't know if we'll have Kate back for next season, as an A-leaguer saw her and is recruiting her for his team. A-league girls are hard to come by. One of the girls on my Everett team is moving, and it will be really hard to replace her.

Tuesday Dec 4

Note
The suspense is killing me! Post the results!!!

All I know is that 4 people beat me, 2 people tied me, and 2 people were slower. I need every point I can get, since I won't be throwing out any races this season!
