What I've been doing...

We got 125 Days of snowboarding in this last season '08-'09, and it was amazing! Every bit of it; even through the holiday season when I was working every night for over 14 Days in a row as well as snowboarding everyday. It kicked my butt a few times and I had to stuck it up. Over the spring we did a bit a traveling. Road tripin' it out to the mid-west. Feel free to check out my facebook albums of everything we've done.

I have done a few mountains bike races this season. I have beat all my previous set records (not that they were amazing)! My best one was Berry Creek. I was not at the very bottom of the list and I dropped 10mins off my time. Steep climb and decent short course, 4 miles in under 37 mins. Short & sweet!

We went to California for the fourth! Hung out at the beach, saw the SF MOMA, and the top of Herzog & de Meuron, de Young Museum. Saw the golden gate & ate at the oldest sourdough place in SF Boudins, also ate at my favoriate resturant The Steps of Rome. YUM! My brother proposed to Marcie on the top of her birthday hike at Pinnacles. It was all very exciting. We also had a Happy 30th Birthday party for Marcie. CONGRATS to my brother & Marcie!!

Summer is here now in the Vail Valley and I only have two mountain bike races left this season. I might not get to do this weeks because I was camping and hurt myself pretty bad by jumping off of a 60' cliff into the river completely wrong. I was doing fine if it was 50' cliff, but the last 10' my body shifted to almost parallel to the surface of the water.

To say the least I have to worst bruise of my life. I cannot sit or walk very well. I am hoping it heals enough so that I can race on Wednesday. But right now it is worse than that picture. It is swollen and much darker and filled in, OUCH!
EPIC FAIL!!!!

But I will have to say it was Incredibly invigorating & fun (just with and big oops at the end)!
