Durango Racing

Sara and I spent this last weekend in Durango Co. racing a 50 mile mtb race and also volunteering for a mountain marathon on Sunday. We had great weather on Fri so we did a little ride on part of the race course. The next morning, race day, was overcast and looking like rain. The race started in decent weather but about an hour into the event in started to rain. The mud made the 50 miles feel more like 100. We both finished, I took 5th in my group and 18th overall, Sara finished 6th in the womens cat. She wished she could have done a little better and is focusing on training now that schools is done. On Sunday the weather was perfect for the mountain marathon, She and I,with Devi, road our bikes in 5 miles to the aid station we helped at. Fun day hanging out in the woods getting food and water to the racers. We had to dive back to Denver that night and got home late...Sara started her new job on Monday morning a little tired. A great weekend in a beautiful spot!

Another Moab weekend

It seems like my posts revolve around weekends in Moab..hmm, don't know why. Sara and I drove over to Moab on Thurs. to get out of the weird, rainy June weather on the Front Range. The weather on Fri. was a little iffy, even for Moab. A little rain, some wind.. We got in around midnight and stayed with Kirsten and her kids who had driven over to pick up Jenae's new waverunner I had brought with us. In the morning we took them rock climbing. It was nice to spend the morning with them and thought about getting in a ride that afternoon but the weather did'nt look promising. We opted instead for a hike up Negro Bill canyon to see Morning Glory arch. Great hike with poison ive as big as trees! Sat. was beautiful! We went out for a long ride and enjoyed the great weather. Sunday before leaving we went for another short 2 hr ride before driving home. All in all a great weekend! Looking foreward to racing in a couple of weeks in Durango then race season really gets underway!
