Muddy Fun !!!

Rode in Wenatchee last night for there "Dark Side Ride" It's the 10 anniversary of the ride. It's a 18 mile or close to it ride in the dark up the Wenatchee hills. We were out there for 3.5 hours of solid mud riding. My legs were so trashed by the end!

Evening Ride along the lakes.

Went out to Blue Lake to kayak for the lady's. So I figured I would ride back home to get in a good head wind ride in. Very pretty ride along the lakes.

Going to Ironman CDA Volunteer and Cheering

I pretty much writing in my blog to myself at this point to get my triathlon life back up and running. It will be a year this weekend since I participated in Ironman Coeur d' Alene. this year I will be going to volunteer and cheer all the crazy super stars on. I have been out of racing for a whole year. My wife started coaching the High School tennis team, My stepdaughter had dance classes and I coached my two daughters in fast pitch softball. I was not about me this year. Which was just fine with me, I needed to spend sometime with family. But I do miss the sport, the friends I made while training for Ironman and writing in this Blog. When I'm at CDA I will also be signing up to race Ironman Coeur d' Alene For 2010, I hope to hear from friends again. This weekend is going to be a blast. So Scottie let's get a race schedule going and goals up on the wall. It's go time buddy!!Helicopter right on top of the racers!!!

Lap 2 on the swim.

She is such a good kid. Volunteering at run special needs. I had a blast helping all the rummy racers. My wife Dee Dee and my daughter Hannah will be at this same spot in 2010, I just hope the weather is nice for them.

Finish line. Wow what a great place to hang out and cheer. I had a lump in my throat.
