| haloween monster ride in boston....
not so monster, other than that there were 24 people... after 2h30 (1h45 effective riding time) stopped and went home, there were 2 broken derailleurs, one bent frame, one broken chain and 3 flat tires... freaky... was fun meeting the local boston adventure racers and jen shultis, the workout was ok, as i went for a run when i got back and actaully had very tired legs... i rode on a borrowed crappy bike, that probably did it... |

| ran with ruri at cougar as eric,aaron, franklin and liz could not make it... what a start in the winter training season.. it was a great run, really good fast hard on the ups, ruri had a tough time keeping up, and easy on the flats and downs as it was already almost dark and i was dumb enough to bring a pinchy light, ruri brought the 15W halogen..., felt good for most of the run....

| Mountain Ascent Challenge, fun last season race with eric, farnklin and liz... dropped off our bikes at 11pm on friday, went for a short nap at alpental parking lot, woke up at 3.am and started running at 4am. Went up to and along several lakes to melaka pass, down to the valley and up mt. defiance, then down to talapus lake to our bikes, and back to alpental. I had a decent race but felt nausiated throughout most of it... think its still from wednesday... franklin though had it a lot tougher as he could not keep up after about 4h and even though i carried his pack for a while and eric towed, ultimately the race was too long and fast for him so he dropped out, having thrown up a couple of times.. liz was in good mood and shape, and eric in even better, he towed much more than i did, which is good as he s going to do USARA and I am done... a great end of the season race, challenging but fun with such a team.

| Team Mergeo.com (me, Liz, Eric and William) raced the Wicked Ocean sprint adventure race, in and around Nehalem Bay State Park, on the Oregon coast. It wasn't very sprinty, as it took us about 9:45.
My guestimates for the activity time breakdown are:
0:40 beach and paved road biking
2:50 trail running
0:20 coasteering
1:10 off-trail rogaining in heavy vegetation
1:30 paved and dirt road biking
1:30 kayaking
1:20 orienteering
We worked together pretty well as a team, and after losing 20 minutes at the beginning of the trekking section (due to errors in the mapping of the roads and trails combined with our recklessness), we worked our way up to within a few minutes of the lead, where we remained for most of the race. (The top teams were remarkably close together over much of the course.) We caught DART on the orienteering section, only to lose 20 minutes on a bingo control. It turned out this was moot, since we had unknowingly skipped a bike checkpoint on the ride back to the transition to kayak. The skip saved us at most five minutes, but it cost us a 30-minute penalty. In the end, we crossed the line 4th overall, about 4 minutes behind 1st place Melissa Coombes (racing solo), who was seconds ahead of DART.
Fun race, course and we were actually a wee bit stronger than DART, but made more nav errors... |
