This year started out in South Bend, IN... in bed with food poisoning
A LOOOOONG overdue update:




Tina won a 5K in Rifle, CO OVERALL!!!  It was a great race that benefited the local Spanish club.



I won a 5K in Steamboat, Springs, CO.  That was a fun tough race.  We've decided that we like small 5ks.


Ashley came to her first MTB race, where I placed 3rd! seen here: and a quick Gopro of the race:


Senna competed in the Dock Dogs at the GoPro Mountain Games in Vail, CO




I did the Ultimate Mountain Challenge during the same weekend.  This race sucked.  It started with a leaky kayak down the Gore Creek where I swam most of the way, draining my energy for the rest of the weekend (MTB race that afternoon, followed by a 10K trail run and a Time Trial up Vail Pass the following morning)video here: (long but worth the humor)





That race wasn't a total failure.  The fitness I gained from that weekend helped me to WIN Xterra Lory the following weekend.  Finish line clip here:






Tina and I have managed to have grandparents help out or friends watch Ashley so we can keep racing the Dunk and Dash.  I did a relay with Tina's Dad! one of these Mondays.


I've used the Roka wetsuit, my new wetsuit sponsor a few times.  Each time I get a new wetsuit, I'm amazed at how even more flexible the shoulders are!  This latest one doesn't fail.  At first, I thought it would be too tight, but I've managed to figure out my transitions in it, so I'll be using it lots this summer.




This weekend:
Xterra Beavercreek!
Follow the elite race live on twitter @xterraoffroad, #xterrabeavercreek, starting at 9am MST on Saturday, July 16.
