Ouachita Challenge

Well, it is over. The Ouachita Challenge 60 miler turned into a 50 miler because of the weather. It was great! my left knee is hurting like crazy! I don't know why, but I wish it would stop! I think there were about 2 other hardtails there like mine but it was great! lots of fun and super organized ride!

Wolfman Duathlon

Well, the race was crazy! It was nasty and so full of water you were lucky to stay up on your bike. At the end everyone looked like they rolled around with swine. Fun yes but now my bike is in the shop so they can grease and get it ready for my endurance ride this weekend in Arkansas. Endurance mountain biking is totally new for me because there is no one to give you food or water you are just out there amongst the rocks and trees. I think I will like it and hope to develop an eating and drinking strategy to finish the race without much mishap.

A new race look

So I've got my race this weekend and wanted to be hard core for just one race. What is the easiest way to look crazy? I'll tell you, it is to cut your hair into a mohawk. After this weekend I'm sure I'll shave it down even but it will be fun to have a mohawk for a couple days.
My stupid shins won't stop hurting from running so I've started doing the stair stepper at the gym and let me tell you that thing will wear a brotha out!

Captain red legs

was the name that one of my teamates gave me after I donned my huge bright red girl's softball socks for a cross country 10k. My time was like 58 minutes that was horrible I felt really bad after the first 3 miles. Cramps settled in and I slowed it was just a bad race but it was fun just to get outside and move around with people that love to do the same thing as I. Du in the Dirt is this weekend in Hot Springs, Arkansas I've heard it is a pretty hard bike ride...hope it will get me ready for Ouachita Challenge in April!

slow skinny and somewhat sporty

After biking like a maniac with some Thunder Racing people, I ran a cross-country 10k and was pretty slow finished around 00:58 that is like a 9 minute mile. I wish running was more of a steady sport but then it wouldn't be running. I wasn't hurting except my feet fell asleep and I could feel the blood pooling in the bottom of my feet. I could really tell I haven't been running though.
