The week begins with a training session in Chicago. This should be a fun time, email management configuration! Who’s with me! Anyone?

Body hurts a little, due to the Omaha adventure race that we kicked but in on Saturday! It was was 2 hours of fun in iowa and downtown Omaha! I see many more of the adventure races in my future! Maybe one day I will be in shape to do more!

Check in this week to the blog for daily updates from my week in Chicago!

Toys… I need help

// May 13th, 2009 // No Comments » // Mountain Bike

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

// April 27th, 2009 // No Comments » // Goals, Mountain Bike

In the past 4 months I have done many good things for myself and for my family.  I have switched jobs at Farm Credit, Got back in the gym, started a lifelong diet, and lost 42 lbs.

Great way to start the year off.  Now it’s time to prove to myself that I can do big things in this world.  My goals for the next 5 years… Give or take a year.

1) Be happy in what I do
2) Race competitively in the Nebraska Mountain bike Series – Details
3) Take the family to see Mountains
4) Compete in the Angry Cow Adventure Race Series – Details
5) Take the family to see the Ocean
6) Run a Half Marathon
7) Complete a Ironman 70.3 Series event (Distance: 1.2 mi. swim • 56 mi. bike • 13.1 mi. run)

Who is with me? Anyone want to donate money to the Kevin needs money for his dreams foundation?

I’m different

In my leadership training class I am attending there are a lot of great topics, stories, numbers, graphs, and therory. But… What do you do when you are so different that you feel like a minority? I’m different, very different! But I love it
