Crash, Big Al, Baggies, and Fast Joshfeeling the ills of 24 hour mountain bike racing
It has been about a month and a half since my last post and I was close to just letting it rot in cyberspace but in the last few days 4 people have said "I have'nt seen a post in a while" . So, obviuosly, this little blog has a HUGE following and peoples lives are a little less meaningful without my poetic prose about my very interesting life.(please don't take that seriously)LOL) so I will try to do better.
The last month has been pretty good. I did a 24 hour mountain bike race with 3 great friends and had a blast. I can't wait til next year...right guys? After the race I have been on my bike a lot but the intensity and effort has tapered off, as well as, the crossfit workouts at work. Probably the combination of being very busy and the workouts getting a little stale. Just kinda going through the motions. However, I am getting psyched up for this weekends relay race I'm doing with some friends called the mountains to sound. Hopefully, the last month of "easy" training will be the ticket for a good ride. I'll keep you posted.

In a couple of days I will up date this to the reasons I'm still fat 6 months after starting this blog in an effort to motivate myself by broadcasting my efforts for your entertainment over the internet. Well, your probably still fat too. Until next time...
9 Hours, 10 minutes, and 10 seconds of rain, sweat, sun, blood, cramps, blisters and a little vomit. All and all it was a great day for doing a 100 mile relay. KB led off with a 15 mile mountain bike on the Iron Horse Trail in north Bend. I followed with a 46 mile road bike on the back roads from North Bend to Redmond. Next JD paddled 12 miles down the Sammamish Slough to Lake Washington where JJ took off down the Burke Gilman Trail for a half marathon. IP wrapped things up with a 6 mile run from Gas Works Park to Golden Gardens Park in Ballard.
