| I miss adventure racing! Does anyone else? |

| Another one bites the dust... | posted 3/29/2009 10:12:43 PM by rzeigler |
Well... I broke the chain on my mountain bike at the last Duathlon. Pretty unbelievable really. It was a top of the line SRAM PC-991 CrossStep chain. The damn thing cost $50 and was only six months old and hardly used! The really funny thing... it broke as I rode through a flat field. No shifting, no climbing invloved. I don't know why I surprised... I should be used to crap like this by now!
At least I'm finally getting some of my cardio back. I did the Beaufort Twilight 8k last weekend in 40:50. Not my best, but good for less than three months of training. I'm still looking forward to a good adventure race, but haven't found one yet. I guess I'll have to settle for some more road races and triathlons. |

| Well it's been awhile... I've got a few shorts races under my belt and I feel like my times are improving! I can't wait to get Kevin and Dave onboard for a tried and true adventure!! What do you say punks!? Lets do it! |

Well... the results are in for one of the worst races I've ever been a part of! I didn't actually do that bad, but the race was boring. It was basically an off-road triathlon. An eight mile beach run is not very adventurous... especially when it is straight down the beach and back.
The humidity almost killed me again. I had cramps most of the race. I hadn't been that close to heat stroke since the episode on James River Island. Oh well... I finished in just under nine hours and placed 9th out of 16 in the Male Solo category. |

The Bighead Crew is at it again!! Three weeks until our come back race. We decided to skip the Untamed VA race since we are out of shape and we didn't want to spend $200 on river boards. The Blackbeard is more our speed right now anyway. Nice and flat and only tweleve hours instead of thirty!
On a side note... I've been taking a lot of heat over the age of my mountain bike lately. I was about to break down and buy a new one, but decided to fix it up instead. It's actually coming along quite nicely. I got a new fork, tires, pedals and a few miscellaneous replacement parts. Oh... and of course new stickers! This thing is going to be bitchin' when I'm done with it!!!
In breaking team member news... it looks like we may have a new Bighead training to join the team. Chris "Needs a Nickname" Hundley should be making his debut in the near future! |
