Well, it's been about a billion years since I updated this blog, so I will do so now. Hmmm let's see.....I think I last left off after I finished the Oliver half iron. I switched my focus to trail running and mountain biking to prepare for the Vashon Island Xterra- the worst race I have ever had! My goggles broke minutes before the start, I wiped out during the bike and bruised my ribs, and broke my chain but was able to fix it. I did finish and actually had a fun time despite the mayhem. My next adventure was the Log Train Trail marathon just outside Port Alberni, which was flat and all on trails. The biggest challenge in that race was the ridiculously high temps that day--up to 36 C. The heat didn't really bother me as much as it should have, because I was so focused on negotiating the rugged trail surface.
Now, it is the offseason and I am just screwing around-lots of easy trail runs and mountain biking with pals, and cyclocross racing. Good times-no scheduled workouts, no plans, no structure, just fun fun fun.
