| 2nd trek, gained about 50minutes on DART but nowhere near what we needed to catch them, they were almost 2h ahead.. additionally Eric forgot his climbing equipment and we had to run back 30 minutes to get it... bummer... rest of the trek was very fast, good, and eric navigated perfectly as well... |

| Wicked Sunsweet 24h,
good race, usual performance with strong trekking, mediocre biking and strong-ish paddling... eric's navigation was spot on for most of the 24h, really impressive and his TA times were probably worse than any of last year's races.. part of this is my fault as my TA's were horrible too, unorganized, slow, not too helpful for him either... overall lost probably 2.5h to the best case scenario but that is hard to achieve in such a long and hard race... the race itself was the best 24h adventure race i have ever done, hands down, due to so many reasons. Ruaraidh and Wanda were good and strong new teammates, though we could improve by simply racing together again, and hopefully will. |

| |
| paddle on the reservoir.. due to the fact that it had some dog legs it was great to see all the top teams (nike beaver creek, DART, nuun/clif, NW Nike ACG) race hard out to the cps and navigate around each other.. |
| Mountainbike 5:05:00 [4] 35.0 mi (8:43 / mi) +1500m 4:47 / km | |

| MTB to the first trek, included a huge spill down a steep ravine with my bike and banging up my knee and worse my private part as well, took me about 5 minutes of fetal positioning and humming to recover |

| shoes: Cascadia #4 Orange |
| 1st trek, made up about 30 minutes to dart due to erics perfect navigation and probably some speed too, though its always hard to say as they claim every second they lose to nav... would probably have to do a team 50k once to prove that one |

| easy run at cougar in the early AM before heading out to paddle, it is taking me way longer than i though to recover from CCC100, but i just talked to brian morrison and he is essentially still not recovered from western states, 3 months later, so I guess i just have to be patient... |

| out and about at lake washington and lake union with ruri paddling... nice outing.. back hurt toward the end.. |

| woodland park score-O without trails or vegetation zones.. the nav was not too hard but i messed up and ran by one of the 24 controls and then had to go back after i was almost done... probably lost about 4-5 min overall but dont think i could have beater matej who did it in 21m40.. he ll soon beat eric in some of the events i bet

| night time bike ride gate to gate tiger up fireroad to preston, over to nwtimber and back down... rode with yumay and julie again, seems like this is the new thing... yumay has now surpassed me in terms of technical skills on most of the downhills, kind of scary.. it became clear when i ended up NOT getting off the bike and took the 4 larger drops the preston singletrack has because yumay took them and so did julie and since i did not want to be a wussy i tried, though i fell on the last one and scratched my lower leg pretty good.... i am just horrible at the singletrack for how often i ride... or maybe ist just the company i am in is significantly better than the average rider out there... anyhow, it got real dark right before we got to NWtimber and with our tiny little headlights (my halogen is in the shop) we took much longer for the last few miles of singletrack... some two crazies rode it entirely in th e dark without lights.... |

| Trail Run 58:55 [3] 5.5 mi (10:42 / mi) +330m 5:37 / km | |
| shoes: Cascadia #4 Orange |
| awesome trail run in the evening.. felt like skipping it after a long hard day at work, decided to go anyways but soon realized a long run was not going to be smart due to my hamstrings still being shot from the weekend training.. so i took it easy on the hills and booked the downs... got a good rythm going and felt totally revived at the end... |

| The son of the last Dirt Trail Epic, my version though... rode with yumay from our house up to the tolt pipeline trail, all the way past the watershed and down to the snoqualmie valley... then flat to carnation, up tolt, and about 1h play (singletracks) at tolt until robin called... we met him at the bottom and rode on the snoq valley trail to fall city, across to I-90, along the bike paths to high point way, skipped grand ridge (yumay was already suffering enough with saddle soreness and tiredness) and across to issaquah and via east lake sammamish home... nice outing, about 7h with breaks... naved on usgs and trailmaps (beast map, etc)... |

| with yumay and julie, but no mercy even though i was riding with the "girls", not the fastest time up to preston, but down with no breaks virtually...yumay was leading the whole way, impressive her progress.. then on NW timber i fell, could not unclip and hit my left hip on a branch, really sore and a bit swollen now.. hope it will just be a bruise... |

| shoes: Cascadia #4 Orange |
| was intended to be a Z4 run but my legs were so tired and heavy still i could never get my HR above 153, which is exessively low, and i could not run as fast as intended, but the gorgeous weather and good music made it for a nice run... |

| paddle with robin and AV, AV and I were in a double and went with robin for a while, but he circumnavigated mercer island and we did not have that much time... |
| Roadbiking 1:05:00 [2] 14.0 mi (4:38 / mi) +100m 2:49 / km | |
| |
| rode out to bothell with yumay, then up the hill and back, to test out AV s roadbike... sweet, she can ride it and so can i, its a bit small for me and a bit large for her... i brought the pink tank so i was considerably slower... |

| tough ride at white river... singletrack from buck creek to corral pass road, up the fireroad to corral pass, and via knoble knob and ranger creek down the palistades... yumay went over the handlebar 3 times, me once, last fall messed up her bottom bracket and scraped her knee badly.. the woman s tougher than me that s for sure, i would have walked it down... it was great training though for wicked.. |
