I need the gas man.

Or gas can - Ah hell - just get me some help! Since my stupid electrified car is in the shop - I had to borrow my buddy R***’s car to drive to C. Springs to do a little computer work for my pops. R*** is not only my roommate but also my bathroom mate. [...]

Electricity

Because of a bit of technical trouble - which i’ll chronicle in a later post - I’ve been holding off telling you more about the exciting weekend of the Pikes Peak Ascent/Marathon.

The Pikes Peak Ascent

5am. Here we go. About to have some oatmeal and brown sugar, gatorade, and a banana, with a half of a Vanilla Bean GU. I couldn’t sleep at all last night. Really. Rachel’s hands are shakin’ like crazy. I think we’re both a little nervous. Holy begeezers…

Dare I Say It?

Sure, what the hell. I think my leg is finally getting better. Yeah, big deal - I know that’s what you’re thinking. But holy begeezers - it is a big deal. I’ve been in a deep state of athletic depression for almost two months. All of my training went down the drain while I iced, [...]

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah…

Ok - I’m back. I was abducted by scary killer whales that could walk. I snuck out through a secret underground rock tunnel built by seals back in the 18 hundos. Boy do I have some updates. Hang in ther.
