Is This Heaven?

Is This Heaven?

I often find myself daydreaming. About this or that, and most everything else. Of far off horizons and snow covered mountain peaks, of running rivers and of swaying aspens. In fact, I wonder if there is a more peace inducing sight and sound than the collective motion of wind moving gracefully, quickly, and so convincingly […]

Stay Classy

The Wasatch Classic cometh. I have been keeping a close and curious eye on the snow melt this spring and early summer. It is breaking apart and trickling down the mountain at a healthy rate. The reservoirs and the rivers are full and roaring. The local chatter is reporting rapidly drying trails, and shrinking snow […]

Trail Rain

A small window in what was an otherwise rainy, stormy day opened up at exactly the same time I started pedaling.  The trails were pristine. Damp but not wet. No mud, no dust. Tacky. In a good way. The raindrops were still clinging to the oak leaves and the tall, green grass. The Penstemon were […]

I missed 5 targets last night at the Biathlon. 20/25 is not bad. I was, needless to say, fairly impressed. Even if I do say so myself. I missed 3 of those 5 in one turn. I blame the gun. It had to have been faulty. However, I rode rather slowly in between turns at […]

Incremental Gains

You might be wondering why I was so elated about crossing the finish line Saturday after seventeen competitors had already done so.  And the answer to that question is rather simple: At Soldier Hollow I finished an astronomical 25 minutes after the leader.  By the time I’d come around the final corner and coasted across […]

Sundancing

Posted by on Jun 1, 2009 in Races | 6 Comments

I would not call it a breakthrough race.  But it felt that way. And it begs the question: Just how far can I push this envelope until the world collapses, bringing me back to the reality that I am ten pounds overweight, have five kids, a full-time job and other familial duties that require my […]
