I saw a moose yesterday

*** I wrote this on Monday - and forgot to post it, Ooops - absent mindedness strikes again!***
To be honest, I didn’t even know that moose existed in Colorado. I was driving down a 4WD road looking for some good camping west of Boulder when I spotted the sucker about 20 yards ahead of me. 
“Oh, [...]

Full time whatever mode

A few things to note. 
1. I have a three week break until school starts again
2. I’m trying desperately to get back into shape
3. I’m running out of dinero 
Needless to say, I have ridiculous amounts of time at my fingertips and I’m certainly not used to such a luxury. I’m trying desperately hard to get back [...]

It happened like this.

To be honest, from Tuesday when I found out about the race all the way to Sunday morning I had some serious trouble sleeping. I couldn’t take a nap without thinking of the race, and I couldn’t take a ride because I had midterms that l considered far more important. A nasty catch-22, but somehow [...]

Mister Competitive

That’s professor Allan Franklin. He is a downright nutty cycling fan. On exams he names planets after the likes of Pantini, Armstrong, and Merckx. I don’t always get his teaching style or support his erasing skills, but the guy is funny and smart. But then again, he’s also the professor who refused to let me [...]

I’m going to Moab

MOAB2k7 is happening this weekend. Last time I was there, I was with my brother and Pat doing an adventure race, where we failed miserably (that’s us in a kayak, and we’re not in first place) but managed to have a whole weekend of fun.

This weekend will be a bit different. No mountain biking allowed, [...]

What I’ve been missing.

I asked Karen when I would be able to bike up hills/mountains this morning. She shrugged and gave me a casual, “You can now if you want”. I casually said, “Really? like how big of a mountain?”, trying to hide my rising hopes. We settled on Old Stage - a small hill/mountain just [...]

2007 Teva Mountain Games

I wish I was running, but ain’t no thing - still had a grand daddy of a time and witnessed some radness too. Frenchie ran the 10k and Ian and I played with our cameras. Here is what I came up with:
Glen Plake:

Floyd Landis:

Frenchie:

Hum Diddly

My buddy Adam and I had a tradition back in high school. On days we didn’t spend poundin around in the mountains we’d meet up and go “dreaming”. We’d go over to REI and look at tents and backpacks and books and climbing gear. Then we’d go to Grand West Outfitters and do the same [...]

running home.

If you’re a runner you’ve probably heard about Dean Karnazes. If you’re not, you may have. If you’re a runner you may have drawn opinions about Dean that can be described as a little negative. I’ve heard people complain that he’s not doing it for running, he’s doing it for the glory, yadda yadda. Hell, [...]
