• Quick Update

    In lame ass point form… For anyone who has been following my posts for the last three weeks or more, this will all make sense, -21 hours of training the week following the Dirty Duo, which I was damn happy with considering I could not walk, let alone run, for almost three full days. -Basically…

  • The Countdown to Baja

    Some excerpts from the recent competitors update…sounds like a ton of fun!! The Ropes/Canyoneering course at this year’s race is serious business. You mustbe prepared to rappel and use your ropes gear in many challenging and potentiallydangerous situations. Do not come to the Baja Travesia with less than 20 rappelsunder your belt (not just gym…

  • Today was the day…

    The first day of the year that I wore my actual biking gloves rather than my ski gloves while out riding.It got up to 10 degrees and I even managed to find a flurry of mosquito’s…albeit with my teeth, and I am sure this will be the only time in 2007 that I will have…

  • My 1st Solo Victory! (D.D. Race Report)

  • Feel The Love

    I woke up feeling damn good this morning and with a greater appreciation of the fact that no matter how bad I think this house sale may end up going, I am a pretty damn fortunate soul. This is probably due to some reflection over some old travel photos, but hey, whatever it takes right!…

  • Good Times!

  • Roller Coasters

    (A picture from the latest Club Fat Ass event I participated in this past weekend) I thought I liked roller coasters, but lately I have felt like I’m stuck on that big roller coaster of life and can’t seem to get off. Too much to cover tonight, but I had a great week of training…

  • Training Update / Casino Night

    I guess I had some free time today, what is this my fourth posting of the day? Just a quick update on the training side of things. Currently in the midst of a 25hr week, the second of my three week build (three weeks of building intensity followed by a ‘recovery’ week of 12-14hrs) Feb…

  • Countries Travelled

    Just found this cool link on another website. It highlights where you’ve been on the planet (although half of the world disappeared when I uploaded it. Sorry Aus and N.Z.) I’ve been through 14 countries…just 6% of the world!And here I thought I had done some serious travel…I may have to plan another extended trip…
