| Just a little ride...in Monachil, Spain! After the "race", we came to this town for the mountain biking. It's basically nestled in at the bottom of some mountains. Great climbs...and hairy singletrack descents. I'll fill you all in when I get home...no doubt you've heard some stories.
Just so you know, Bobby's doing fine.
Here's my ride from this morning more or less. If you turn on the elevation, you get a feel for the climbing around here.
Total time included a 30 minute siesta near the summit. When in Spain... |

Tuesday Mar 13 |
| Ride (spinning) 1:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| 2 x 20' Hills, then 15 minutes steady spin. Legs feeling a little sluggish at first. Maybe the time change? Maybe still bouncing back up on my peak? |
| Note | |
| |
| Around the bay - I registered for this race a long time ago, but won't be around for it anymore. If anyone wants to go and regsiter as me and run it with a time chip, they are more than welcome.
Only stipulation is that you must finish in the top 5. ;)
Who's in? Free tshirt... |

Sunday Mar 11 |
| Running (snow) 1:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| With Milhouse around Rattlesnake/Crawford Lake. Soft snow footing, but felt good. |
| Rope Work (Ascending/Rappelling) 3:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| Good to get out for some practice on this before the race. Ended up doing race repeats with Milhouse: Ascend up, switch over, rappel back down. Nothing says safety like racing on ropes, eh? Final results: Hansel 3:23, Milhouse 3:09. I hang my head in shame.
But wait! The judges rule that Hansel gets the "They're his ropes and he set the anchors" 15 second time credit giving me a final time of 3:08. Sorry Milhouse, maybe learn how to tie your shoes properly and then I'll teach you some real knots... |

| Yoga (hokey) 1:00:00 [2] | |
| |
| Instructor was a little bit off her rocker - she kept speaking yogese with no translations, plus she was talking like we were in the woods or something, lots of stuff about roots, branches and leaves - but good stretching and some core work. |
