| Today my left hip flexor came back to haunt my 60plus Mile weeks full fledged... started feeling it yesterday at the ride but did not want to acknowlege it... intended running the 19mile loop with yumay but it was extremely icy and really hard to run in places so we did a lollypop loop.... she carried my pack the last 5 miles to alleviate my pain in the hips... may have to take it a wee bit easier for the next few days... |

| what a morning commute.. since the bus did not come i decided to bike to work along the burke gilman trail... the 4 inches of snow would have been great, the one inch of ice underneath made it russian-roulette style... i made it to work, some of my skin and bike pants did not due to a nice slider on bare ice and pavement... oh well... i ll heal |

| tried to do a triple si but no way ... legs were tired, and there was so much snow and the wind was blowing at 70-100mph it was way too dangerous to go all the way up, so i did two times up to the three mile mark... there were another 3 people on the mountain, certainly an all time low for mt. si

| Note | |
| |
| Golite UASRA National Championship: Raced with Eric Bone and Julie Heidt as MerGeo.com, and finished 8th overall of about 50 teams nationwide, so needless to say we had a good race. There were many small problems (got stuck behind slow teams on coasteering section and up first bikewhack, two (?) poor bingo route choices, a deflated sevylor and eric's three capsizings surf entries... but our positives were overwhelming with a phantastic trek (thanks to team revo that told us CP6 was misplaced) and fast TAs, and even better a great finish with fast moving sections. Eric did a usual great job naviating and moving the team along for the first half, me the second, and julie kept plugging along... probably the best race I have done so far. (will update log correctly once eric is back and i have the exact splits) |
