  3. yesterday was race day (again.. ugh, that is 3 in 7 days.. ouch!!)

    woolastook mountain bike race: solo female
    AMLAP (as many laps as possible) in 5 hours:
    6 laps in 5hr 13 min (43km)

    what a toughie that was! i was aiming for my record of 7 laps, but this course had alot more climbing than last time. good enough for 5th place i think. results haven’t been posted yet.

    kevin – how was the adventure race?

    1. i went back to my journal from the last time i did solo at Wooly…

      the lap was about 1 km longer and steeper. so in all i did only .5km less than last time with more climbing in roughly the same time. i was happy with result before, but more happy now that i know it’s closer to last time ๐Ÿ™‚

      i feel like i got hit by a mac truck today though.. my boss even took one look at me this morning and said ‘you’re F%^&ed up aren’t you?’ then laughed and said ‘good, then you raced hard!’

  4. Pierre and I did an adventure race this weekend. For those that don’t know what it is…we had to find ‘controls’ (markers) hidden over a large area and stamp a card as we found them. There were 18 controls in total (4 mandatory ones), and we found 13 of them.

    One of the controls was a 1km tire drag race. I came in 8th out of 21. Another event was a stand-up kayak course. It wasn’t timed, but it was fun. And there was one control that was mandatory that we couldn’t find (and neither could anyone else). It was about .5km off on the map, so if anyone found it, they were obviously lost. We wasted 2 hours looking for it.

    In total, we kayaked about 6km, biked close to 40km, and ran a lot too.

    We placed 9th out of 27 teams. Not too bad, seeing as how it was our first time ever doing a race like this.

      1. It was not fun when Kevin decided to do a seal entry (with a not sealed kayak) with me in front of the kayak! You can imagine what happened! ๐Ÿ™‚

        And also when we were in the forest surrounded with Poison Ivy and we had no choices to go thru it. It was so itchy that you wanted to rip the skin off your legs.

        But other than that, it was a lot of fun. ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. I have not quit! I have been crazy busy with work, but will be returning once school is finished. ๐Ÿ™‚ I miss you all and feel out of the loop.

    1. To answer your question (and taken from the CrossFit website)…

      Each year in the United States Navy, a highly qualified and elite cadre of Sailors are selected and promoted to the join the ranks of Chief Petty Officer. Since 1893, “The Chiefs” have been relied upon by subordinates and superiors alike for their personal example, technical expertise and above all, their unique leadership capabilities. As the induction process for newly selected Chief Petty Officers is now underway throughout the US Navy, we thought it appropriate to inaugurate “The Chief” in honor and recognition of all past and present CPOs. Thanks to them and their families for their self-sacrifice, ability to adapt, tireless dedication to mission and devotion to country.
