Lap 1

Well the race started out badly. Rey our first guy out Flatted twice and had to run all the way back to camp. That put us in dead last place. At 7:00 pm we were still in last place but over the course of 24 hours alot can happen and furtunatly nothing else happened to us. We were able to come from 20th place all the way into 4th overall for the finish. I did well My lap times were my best ever. I little sore today although Not in my legs. Most of the soreness is in my lower back or abs. I need to work on that.

I recieved a package from G-ma last night for Nazal. Thanks G-ma and Pa.

March 1st is the 1st anniversary of this blog. Never thought I would do it this long. I am on my out to the 24 hours in the old pueblo. I will try to take som pics. The weather is perfect high just under 70 lows in the 30s.

Good shot!!

WAHOOOOO. Over 2000 hits on the old blog and 2 days till the 24 hour event. Michelle made me go to the breast feeding class last night. I know I am supposed to be part of this but how can I help. Well I actually can. Not physicly of course but in other ways. I will spare the details. We are in the last leg of the most important endurance event of our lives. T- 24 days and counting. Tonight is the last birthing class and we have an appointment with the doc as we see her every week now.

The weather man just said it has rained one day since December 12th.The amount was a whopping .01". I dont remember any rain although there where a few clouds in the sky a week ago. We do need some rain though maybe I should go do a rain dance.

Anyone want to buy a road bike? A fellow worker has this for sale.Bid at will.

MOTIVATION ! Where do I find it? I looked under my bed and in the depths of my closet to no avail.I just need to sleep less and do more.The problem is that Michelle is not sleeping well so neither am I. That means I get 10 hours of poor sleep instead of 7 of quality sleep.So I am always tired and am not motivated.

We have an appointment thursday for nasal and a birth class in the eve.

The shower is today. I said it would be next week since Michelle reads this blog and we told her it would be a surprise. with T-7 hours to go I figure we are in the clear.

Super Bowl sunday I have only heard one prediction, any more?

Tommorow will be a long ride in the morning on the road bike. Easy but long. How long you ask? Until either I bonk on run out of time.

Today is just another day at the shop and we are pretty busy but not slammed. The weather has been really nice (upper 70s- low 80s) and I actually have a little sun burn goin on from Thursdays 24 course ride.

I woke up aliittle late this am. I guess my body needed some rest after yesterdays long day. Needless to say I did nothing productive. I was able to do my big gear hill repeats on my lunch break. It is nice to take a break in the middle of the day and get some saddle time.

A package arrived from Aunt Chris and Uncle Steve for the shower today. Thank you! It is appreciated.

Updated list on the dob guessing game. It is getting down to the nitty gritty now.

Ride complete. I was a little slower than I thought I would be, but not by much. By the time the race gets here I will be ready to hit my goal. My new computer tells me elevation and grade. There are steeper climbs out there than I thought. One is 18% and the following is 15%. Good thing there only 100 yardsish long.

Well I am on my out to the 24 hour course to see how I will do under load for two laps. I am hoping to get into a groove and pull two 1:15 laps. we will see how it goes.
