Wow, what an interesting, busy, eventful, and somewhat scary week leading up to my departure to San Fran! I’m currently in the airport trying to catch up on things before we fly out at 7am. I moved into my new place over the last few days and as to be expected I was without any… →

The Suburban Rush Adventure Race, which Todd and I would be competing in as a team of two, was amazingly salvaged for us the night prior by a rather random act on my part. I was thinking about the race, and guessing (completely ignorantly) that the terrain would be easier, flatter and faster than most… →

I just got in from a really nice 45m sundown run here in Squamish. It was ‘really nice’ cause there was zero pressure to run a certain distance, a certain pace, or a certain elapsed time. I was about to strap my watch to my wrist when I realized that there just was no need… →

Pictures are worth a thousand words right? Here’s my 6,000 word recap of my training run this weekend! Weather not looking so pretty down towards Van and Vic! Looking pretty damn sweet in Squamish though! I ended up on a completely new trail and came across this rock wall memorial. It was kinda freaky to… →

Just ten days to go till my first ever 100km ultra run! I got my bib number in the mail today, two ninety nine, two ninie nine, two dolla ninie nine cent…I like it, and for no real reason other than the fact that I can now say my race number is two ninie nine!… →

I have a few big days planned this weekend with Saturday consisting of a 6hr run + 3hr ride, and I’m just trying not to bury myself before this. The forecast isn’t helping one bit, with everything from… →

What an incredible weekend we have just had here on the coast, 17-20 degrees and nothing but sunshine, the perfect weather to log some big days of training! It’s funny cause I tend to write these, what I would consider, incredible blog postings in my head while riding, and by ‘incredible’ I mean no spelling… →

(Roxy as a pup, I think D.V. 06 was her first race experience!) So here is my memory of my previous Diez Vista experience in 2006. Super technical downhill section about an hour in. Long fast open running section in middle. Decent climb up another ridge to a soul destroying turn around up and down… →

I wanted to post something today before heading into Diez Vista this weekend, well here it is: I’m freakin exhausted, I tried biking for 3hr today and only got through 1hr before calling it and I have absolutely zero energy right now. I truly did not realize how spent I was until I was WALKING… →
