| Gig Harbor 3h Streetscramble Race, our first this year. Yumay still has some major problems with her ribs from going over the handlebars, so we had to slow down a lot after about 1h, for about 30 minutes... other than that we had a good run, I made zero nav mistakes and only had one brainfart (yes Patrick, we ll get you one day :)..... in the end we lost to WIN by I think 10 points and beat the highlighters by 5 points, it was a close and really fun race against the two teams... |

| Fruita again, massive fun but i need a day now for recovery, the 20h workout weeks are still a bit hard for ye ole body... Yumay had a massive day today, wiped out badly going 15mph into the dirt, cut up her arm and landed on her face such that her glasses gave her a cut between the eyes... then on the return back she ran over a large (about 4 feet) snake at full speed on the fireroad... the snake was fine, yumay wasnt for a few minutes... a little too freaked... |

| Porcupine Rim Trail, biked up from Moab and back... what a great ride! Yumay was scary out there and cleared the singletrack way better than i did, it felt more like biking with VdV or Hayes than her, not sure if I sucked or she just had an insanely good day... in any event we did the loop almost 45 minutes faster than last time we were here, thanks to Attackpoint its easy to compare... |

| Desert Winds 24h AR, first time racing a 24h with Yumay. We wanted to go out and have fun and finish the race and certainly got 100% of both. The race started out with a fairly difficult nav run and swim section, my nav was shaky at first but with the help of following some teams I got into it really quick and then navigated really well the whole race, fact other than a stupid 20 minute and a few 3-5 minute mistakes I hit almost all of them straight on. Especially the night nav worked well... that said, we were not going particularly fast so that was nice... this was actually my first ever 24h race that I navigated. Anyhow, after hitting 3 out of 4 optional CPs we made it back to HQ and got a massive Kayak leg... problem was we only had two 1p slow singles and got creamed on that ... we probably lost 3-4h to the top teams on our 10.5h of paddling... yes, 10.5h, that is the most i have ever paddled in a 24h period... during that leg we went and got some optional CPs and I almost stepped on a beautiful rattlesnake that was pissed and rattled like crazy..., the paddle back during the night under starlit sky was great... once back to HQ we spent the rest of the night getting lots of the mandatory CPs, until morning hit... we thought we had about 3h to spare to make the cutoff when I made a capital error and decided to try to coasteer the last leg instead of run around it... we swam a ton, the trekking was horrendous and it took us 4 times longer than expected.. fortunately we still made it back with about 45 min to spare.... overall one of the best 24h ARs I have ever done.... and Yumay loved it too! |

| Score O at Priest Point Park, my first time there.... I had a really good run except for 3 MAJOR messups, really weird, i managed to run by 3!!!! CPs, when I got my printout I thought my Epunch did not work and then when looking at the map I realized I could have gotten each one of them within about 10-20 seconds, I was just basically running by them already focusing on the next one... weird... anyhow, Nikolay ripped it up with 1600, Glen had 1275, I had 1050 and should have been able to get 1250 but oh well, on the upside I navigated swiftly and ran ok for having had a 4 month period off.... |
