Weekend Adventure Race

// July 20th, 2009 // No Comments » // Goals, Mountain Bike

Third adventure race of the year is complete and it was great.  Over the weekend myself and a few co-workers decided at taking on the  Cornhusker State Games adventure race at Platte River State Park.  The was short (2-4 hours) but very challenging.  All in all it ended up being around 4 miles of running, 4 miles of biking, 2 crazy team challenges, and a paddle boat adventure.

In a nutshell the day was great, the team did great and I’m feeling really good about how my running and biking are going.

Next step is the XTERRA Triathlon @ Branched Oak Lake and possibly the Wild Hares 12-hour Adventure Race … who can teach me how to swim!

Born to Ride

As I’m scanning image after image of my brother for his wedding video I see a theme… That theme is 2 wheels. We were born riding bikes, motorcycles, 4-wheelers, and much more. Now I understand why I have so many hobbies that include toys that go fast. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Toys… I need help

Ok, in my life I have a bad addition. This addition is going to kill me or at least make my wife kill me.

When people have hobbies you make small investments into that hobby. $100 here $20 there and that’s it. Well I have a disease call excessive hobby spending sickness. This is caused when you are a hobby extremist and can’t settle for good, you must sell the good to buy the great.

With that said I would like to share with you my new addition to the toy chest. It’s a 2008 Gary Fisher HiFi Carbon. Yes, carbon, as in carbon fiber.

She will be here in a few days as she is traveling from Portland, OR. I will have a full review once I get back from the 12 hour race this weekend!

The Journey Begins
