nice easy recovery run with yumay to marymoor, dog trail and back...

nice paddle under cloudy skies at ft.steilacoom, paddling north then back south with big about 2ft waves keeping us on our toes.. with AV and MM..

Score-O at Ft Steilacoom, dorky scoring system allowed for best scoring to get them all, as the time penalties were tiny... 22cps, lost about 15 minutes on the course which is far from satisfying, but 14 of those minutes in the first 30, so i was rather pleased at the end...

drove down to capitol forest with eric and mike to round up the great day with a really nice mtb session, lots of technical trails, hard uphills, super downhills..

took bike to work via bus, then rode hard out to meet up with ruri, some whimpy roadbikers drafted off me for almost an hour without ever offering to lead... then i took it a bit easier once i met up with ruri and rode home...

to/from NWOC

1.5 lake union loops with aaron, doing a bit of style excercises.. funny that i am on the donating side now.. used to paddle with no style just a year ago...

easy parts of biking at tiger, iverson and preston singletracks, downhill and fireroad...

with aaronV at tiger, my testosterone levels were once again a wee bit high and after ruri s "time trial to the top" i decided to drop the hammer and ride it out hard.. the first 2.5 miles though that hammer was not very big and i suffered up there behind aaron.. caught up right at the end and we both did it in the exact same time as ruri 2 weeks ago...

run 2 arboretum via museum, around arboretum and back, as the backway is still flooded...

towing yumay for 1h run/hike around the house..

unbelievable the fun(k)y things that happen to me.. i ran over lunch, and since the arboretum is flooded due to too much melt water i ran to the south west side of the stadium around the waterfront... about halfway through, by the water i noticed a lot of people congregating and staring to the water.. out on the water two chinese students from UW capsized with a canoe and could not swim.. to they tried to dog-paddle but got nowwhere and it looked like they were about to drown... so i took off my clothes and jumped into the freeeeeezing cold water and swam the about 100m to the boat and then while they hung onto the boat i tried to swim-push-pull their boat back, which took considerable effort and i was severely tired at the end.. someone called 9-11 and by the time we were on shore the water police came and picked the students and boat up, their belongings and paddles were all over the water swimming around...got a big thank-you from everyone including the police and then went do run the rest of the intended loop... got warmed up pretty quickly again but had a cramp along the way, probably not used to swimming and running...

C • wow... 4

my first (and unplanned) swim of the year... felt pretty good swimming there...
