Can't I just provide remote support via cell phone motivation? I'll even put your names on the temple prayer rolls on the next youth temple trip. |

I'm only planning on racing maybe one or two of them. The rest will be nice and easy. A lot of races I do just for the atmosphere, I love it.
If I get into NYC, I'll be training like a madman this summer. It's going to be a once, maybe twice in a lifetime thing, so I really want to see how well I could do on that course. |

April 12 Owens valley Hospice 10 k Result: I sucked, almost puked at mile 3, major stomach cramps. Just a bad day. 44:59
May 3 Tour Beneath the Peaks Rode the 50 mile course in 2:45 or so. Great day, took it easy. http://www.mapmyrun.com/ride/united-...p/788459762713 May 17 Mountain Warfare Training Challenge http://y-events.com/mwtc/ (one of the hardest and coolest 10ks that is out there) June 28 Xterra Tahoe (offroad tri) http://www.bigblueadventure.com/pub/...PageName=INTRO July 12 June lake Tri http://www.highsierratri.org/junelake.html Aug 2 Mammoth Triathlon http://www.allsportcentral.com/Event...?EventID=17909 Sept 6 High Sierra Fall Century http://www.fallcentury.org/ Oct 30 Wild Iris 1/2 Marathon http://www.wild-iris.org/index.php That is about all I know about for now. Hopefully there will be more and I actually get to do the ones listed. I may even be talked into doing ULCER again if RCVikings agrees to let me sit on his wheel for the last 40 miles. one race I won't be doing but I would like to eventually is the Eastern Sierra Double Century: http://www.planetultra.com/easternsierra/ would be a fun one At some point I will also be doing a tri with my brother in Utah somewhere.

I don't know how you guys put all that mileage in during the summer. I am such a wimp about running in the heat (I grew up in mild SW Washington after all). I am planning on doing a half marathon in April-- even then I'm worried about it being too humid or warm. Then I'm playing indoor soccer all summer, hopefully avoiding injury, then doing some more races in the fall/winter.
The weather now, in the cool 50's with no humidity, is perfect for me. |

Let me re-iterate, the only thing pulling my sorry but alarmingly large rear up the mountains in the LOTOJA will be my Ford Pickup (with bike rack) which I will use to ferry your extra bikes and wheels and parts and soigneurs (only Arch will bring one, is my guess). All kidding aside, I would like to sag wagon for you guys, assuming you need it, and again all kidding aside, I am not anywhere near where I need to be to try to ride the thing. I will seriously check with the spousal calendar and clear those dates (I hope). But, and I say this with my most stentorian Orson Welles voice, if I make this trip, Bluegoose better be there too. BTW, the truck is great fopr sagging. It has a water tight and lockable shell and can cary 3-4 bikes with ease inside all locked up and protected. It is a full crew cab (but buckets in front) so it carries 5 comfrontably, as long as the guy in the middle in back isn't a whiner.
