My x-rays and amount of tenderness showed there is still some healing to go in the left wrist. But I did get the right brace off, so at least I have one hand now. Here is a pic of me in the Tour de France… sorta… at least I thought I was in it 😉…

I might get it off today! In honor of this event, I finally have a pic of the current cast, complete with running mileage and GPS: Note: the bar alongside mileage means it was all in one day. The two sets of about 11 miles last Saturday (one morning, one evening) and the 3 runs…

So I think I'm going to track my biking and running mileage on this cast. As in, after each bike (on a trainer since can't risk a fall yet) or run, I will in sharpe on the cast write in the mileage under the appropriate heading (either bike or run). I think it will be…

I also rode to the start from home (another 10 miles). However, my club ride ended at about mile 50 in Oceanside. I remember riding through Camp Pendleton,…

So after the amount of fun I had in the adventure race, I've seriously been looking for a mountain bike (I had been sorta looking at getting one since around Christmas). I tried out one (a Cannondale SuperV500) but didn't really like how it felt. It just seemed kinda like more of my energy went…

… is freakin' awesome! Woke up easily and don't feel like the walking dead, so it looks like I'm back to a decent amount of sleep. Got to swim practice, and the water was helping me cheat! I'm not sure how. But it felt awesome. One of the sets we did was 12 100s where…

Big Blue 24 Santa Monica Mountains Race Report The short version: It rocked for 25:15 hours, for a finish of 25:45. The long version (yes, very long): I come from a running, then a tri background. Erich works at REI and comes from a running and climbing and hiking background. I met him at the…
