Hauling Rhys home

How is training going? I need to get out there.
UPDATE: I got out and did my required 6.2 mile run & had 8 dogs come after me. Darn dogs.

Yesterday I picked up Abby & her mare, Cadence.

I took them out to Kingston where we unloaded Cadence and left her in her new stall.

Coming out of that same stall was Rhys.

Rhys belonged to Susan in TriCities and was recently sold. Shes a beautiful warmblood mare doing solid 1st level dressage and well on her way to 2nd level & higher.

 Rhys lived here for a couple months while the weather was warm and mostly dry then she went to the indoor arenas for the winter months.

Abby & Rhys

Yesterday she went to live in Mount Vernon, Washington with a lady who wants to ride dressage and seems like a really nice person. It as very cold with snow on the ground but we had no problems getting there.

Abby and I did have a problem getting home though, we stopped for fuel and just had to go to the Tulalip Casino for a while & to eat...

And a little gambling, which Abby had never done before. I had split my hauling $$ with her so after fueling up we had $35 each to play with.

 I gave her the info I had been told by my brother: most people are right handed so they use the right side machines more often and the ones by the front doors pay out more. So she put $2 into a $1 machine and won $20. We were excited so she put in another $1 and won another $20. WooHoo! On the way to the buffet we stopped at the $5 machine by the front door and I let her use my voucher, it had $20 and after 1 play it had $35. We were so easily amused!

We signed up for the rewards program that will never reward us with anything and continued to gamble a little at a time till the buffet opened so we could eat.

 The Prime Rib was SO GOOD.

Then we went out to continue our gambling. The machines she had been winning on in the morning weren't paying out at all so we decided to leave but stopped by the $5 machine on our way out. I played twice and won another $25 so I walked out with $80 in hand and Abby had $70 and we both had full bellies.

It was a really nice day all around. We don't get to spend a lot of time together so this was a nice time to catch up with each other.

Treadmill workout

How is training going?  So so.

My training plan called for 50 minutes of medium speed work, warm up, 3 minutes fast, 3 slow x 3 sets, cool down. Since there is now snow and ice on the roads I'm not going to run on the roads (some idiot will hit me for sure) so I had to run on the treadmill at the gym.

I went to the YMCA for Torreys class but she didn't make it in & some guy was leading the class so I skipped it. got on the treadmill and spent a few minutes figuring it out. Still don't have it down pat. It wouldn't let me do the workout above so I did the 'heart' one, 5 minutes easy, 5 hard, 5 easy, 5 harder & add a little hill, 5 easy, 5 harder & more hill. Next time I must use the machine I'll do it manually.

On the way home I stopped and got 2 bags of shavings, its going to be extremely cold tonight so I'm bundling up all the horses, padding their stalls & closing all the doors. They are saying it will get down to 18 degrees in Seattle and its usually a bit colder here. Yikes.

Training With The Ladies

How is training going? Still good.

 The miracle is not that I finished, the miracle is that I began.

2009 Kitsap TriBabes at Seattle Danskin
I missed this photo but there were about 90 of us in that race.

 Two years ago Lan told me about a newpaper article he read about the Kitsap TriBabes, a group of women who train for triathlons together. I Googled them and found http://www.kitsaptribabes.com/ and made it a point of joining the group.   There have been about 400 TriBabes in the last 10 years!



Lisa, our leader




At Wildcat Lake

 At our weekly swims, so many ladies show up.

Group practice start

Our fearless leader is Lisa "Tri Turtle" Ballou. She motivates us like you wouldn't believe. Lisa starts our training in early June, we do a 12 week course and at the end of it we're ready to compLETE the Seattle Danskin Sprint Triathlon in August. She has us go to Wildcat Lake every Tuesday to learn to not only swim but to do it as a huge group so we're ready for the kitting, splashing, kicking and stuff that will be going on in the water. There are usually about 50-100 ladies swimming at one time, we scare everyone else away from the beach.  She starts us out with 2 laps around the pilings and at the end of the 12 weeks we're swimming half mile across the lake.



At the BRICK on a Saturday



On Saturday mornings we meet at a local church and do a BRICK       (Bike Run ICK). She starts us out with about 5 miles on the bike followed by a half mile run. At the end of the 12 weeks we're easily doing the 13-ish miles on our bikes and running the 3.1 miles.  Every week we do the swims & BRICKS and you WILL get in shape and you WILL compLETE the Danskin.



Our reward for 12 weeks of hard work

TriBabe jersey

Lisa sends out weekly emails with our training program, rest days, swim days, running, cross training. She tells us how far to go and what type of things to do, either hills or long easy run/ride. She puts on classes for us, she has taught a lot of ladies to swim, ride and run!  She coordinates sales events at local running and biking stores so we can all save some money on equipment. 

This year will be my 3rd year as a TriBabe and I can't wait to do it. Maybe I'll volunteer more or something, last year I was second fastest on the bike and hope to kick ass this year too. I can ride my turn then help with the slower ladies. By the time of our first BRICK I should be able to run the half mile in record time (for me).

I am not going to participate in the Danskin this year as its the same weekend at the Leadville Trail 100 that Lan is trying to get in to.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Finally, a run

How is training going?  GOOD.

I was feeling up to it and my training plan called for 1 hour 50 minutes of easy run so I ran to work. It was short on time and I wasn't fast but I'm happy with it. 6.78 miles from my door to my boss's door.

Lan kept tabs on me; at about the half way point he passed me for the first time. I was feeling good so kept going, stopped for a minute to chat a bit farther. Thought I would need a ride but was able to get there right on time, yay for me. 

I love that he will do that for me. He sometimes follows me when I go on strange roads or if I just need the moral support. It makes me feel much safer that's for sure. He bought me a bottled water and a chai tea for when I was done. 

At the point when I had just .4 miles left and was ready to give up he told me of the shortness of the distance and it was all I needed to make it the rest of the way.  Hes the best that way.

I do have a head ache now and I think I'm dehydrated so I'm going to get some Gatorade.

Lans Sunday race

Today was the Dash Point State Park mtn bike race. Lan was in the Clydesdale category and took 2nd place, yay.

 This photo is of the Expert riders, they started riding at 9am when it was still only about 32 degrees out and the course was 'dry' and quick. They made 3.5 laps in about an hour. I was able to get photos from the starting area then walk down the trail 1/3 mile to a great view point where I got tons of video.

The #20 guy is my boss's husband who just happened to be at the same race as us. I have no  idea how he did in placings but it was fun to cheer him on.

I got photos of him but lost all of the ones I took of my own husband. There are a lot of videos but it takes a lifetime to upload them to this site so I deleted them, sorry.

Clydesdale's started last, at 11:45 and by then it had warmed up enough to make a lot of mud. There were about 300 riders in the whole race so all those tires and the 'warmth' made is gooey and slick. Lan did very well and we were both happy with his results since he hasn't raced since 1997. He did 2.5 laps in his category.

I considered racing but didn't because I have only been to 1 other mtn bike race, in 1997.  :)   And today it was too cold, I'm still not 100% after last weeks flu, it was too cold, Lan needed me for his support person, it was too cold and OK, I felt lazy.   But I did a heck of a lot of running around taking photos so thats kinda like I was racing. Or not.

As I was taking photos and video I kept hearing people yelling Oohhhhhh! so I made my way over to a position near the finish of the race and there was a good crash site. Mud and roots created a nice dip next to a haphazard little bridge of varying sizes and a lot of guys were going over the handlebars. Lan made it through on the last lap while I was there and got it on video but I missed the one he almost crashed on. Glad I wasn't there for that.

Mtn Biking at Dash Point

How is training going? Better

Today Lan and I took our bikes out to Dash Point Park to ride for a while. I lasted about a half hour & turned back to the car. Still haven't recovered from the Flu and don't want to get worse just because I want to have fun. And this ride was fun.

We started out on this trail...

This is my bike, my Kona that Lan built right before the end of last summer. Today was about my 3rd ride on it. Its so much softer than the old bike that sometimes I can't make it up hills. I'm learning though and its getting easier each time.

My Kona bike



Here is Lan on the trail. I always get photos of him, he rarely takes them of me.

These trails were a lot like Banner Forest but seemed drier and hilly-er and Banner is a lot bigger with a lot more trails. This place had a lot of people in it for a Friday in the middle of the day. We will probably go back for fun someday but definitely we will return on Sunday.

because on Sunday there is a mtn bike race that Lan is entering and I *might* enter. I will enter if the weather is cooperative, if I'm feeling 100% better from the flu, if there aren't a bajillion people entered and not more than 5 ladies in my age group. because prizes go 5 deep.

 Lan has had a lot of these up close & personal photos taken.

This is the spot where he headed out for another 2 hours of riding and I headed back to the car. I was only a few minutes away but we had taken the long way of getting to this point.

Here lies my bike, waiting for me yet again. I leave it often to take photos or to go pee. But I only go pee if there is some place that's safe, like an outhouse. I don't just pee off the side of the trail like a guy.

This thing is right at the beginning of the trail and I DIDN'T SEE IT when we first started riding!  I do have to say that there was a map & info board/kiosk right behind me and we did read the map but how in the heck did I miss this? Too weird. 

Kona is ready to go home. She waited patiently for Lans Kona to join her on the rack.  Lan has decided that on race day he's going to ride his new Trek. If I don't race I'll be the official photographer and I hope I can get some dandy shots of him, maybe possibly something that I could enlarge and frame.



Back at it

How is training going? Only OK.

Last night I got on the bike trainer and watched TV for a half hour, just to get myself moving again. I wasn't 100% over the flu but I needed to move. I did about 60% for the entire half hour, nothing more. At the end of it I was a little tired but not overly so.

This morning I made it to Torreys Torture class where I was able to do about 80% effort on the spin portion but only about 40% of the strength, I actually had to just go sit out part of the strength part because I felt light headed and my tummy was irritated. My training has suffered in the last few days, I owe 1.25 hours of running already and today is supposed to be 45 minutes of medium running, which I'm not even going to attempt.

This flu has kicked my ass.

FLU

I have the flu, updates later. Back to bed for now.

You Knock My Socks Off

How is training going? Good, raced today.

Lan and I and a lot of friends ran in the You Knock My Socks Off 4 mile run in Gig Harbor today. Lan hasn't trained for running at all in 2 years and he beat me!  He turned around at the end and came back to run across the finish line with me.

This is my husband, Lan, before the race.

This is the Banks family, Linda, Steve & son Brayden. They ran too and this is before the race. 

 Here is Lan & me before the race.

 Lan took this shot at the end, right when he came back for me. Hes such a sweet guy.

  My red after race face.

 The Banks Family, after the race.

 Lan after the race, looks like he could go out and do it again.

True love: Steve let Linda hold onto his jacket and he pulled her up the hill. I wasn't expecting an 8% uphill for 1/4 mile but I did run as much of it as I could before I had to walk. And it was on the way back with just 1.25-ish miles remaining. But still. I should have been able to run the whole thing.

Our friend (my FB friend, I've never met her yet) and Lindas true to life friend, Kris, did the NOLA Marathon today, she has a post of her medal. Way Cool.

Green River

How is training going? Rest day today, race tomorrow.

Today after class Lan and I rode our bikes along the Green River. Yes, THE Green River, The infamous river that Gary Ridgeway used to hide his many, many dead victims. But we weren't looking for dead bodies nor have we ever met that freak. We just happened to be in Kent and had an hour before the rain started. Lucky us.

 Lan rode his bike across this bridge but I walked mine across it, for two reasons. One is that I wanted to take photos and he was impatient, wanted to get back to the car before it rained heavily. Second was that I was scared of getting a tire stuck in the grate and crashing. He said I could get hurt worse getting a cleat stuck in it so that's something to think about next time.

Tonight we got to take my handsome son & his beautiful girlfriend out to dinner, he turned 27 two days ago.  I love them.

Christine & R2

Reagan on The Pie

Yesterday Sarah brought her girls over and we ride Sunshower and The Pie. For a pony with 'no brakes', 'busting through gates' and 'skittish' he is pretty nice and calm. Sarahs 5 year old daughter, Reagan, rode him by herself and had him going over poles and doing figure 8's around cones. It was SO COOL.

The Pie was a $100 pony.

I do need to come up with a different way to steer him, I don't like that the halter slips around on his face so badly. I have his bit and a bridle thats small enough for him but Reagan hangs on his face too much to give her a bit but she is fearless and made him go where she wanted him to go.


Tomorrow is the You Knock My Socks Off 4 mile race in Gig Harbor. I guess we will have more friends there than we had know of before so it will be great fun, even if it rains buckets. Linda and Steve have invited us out for lunch afterward.

Planning for exercise & horses

I had to work again today so didn't have time for my scheduled workout but that's OK. I have tomorrow off and I will do it then. Then on Saturday, when I should be doing another long or hard run, I will have a rest day because I'll be in class all day and I can do that run on Sunday.

Actually, Sunday is the You Knock My Socks Off Valentines Run in Gig Harbor and Lan & I will both be there to run. Its 4 miles and it will be a good change from running by myself. Linda & Steve and their son Brayden will be running too and we should have a good time.  I told Linda I'm going to tie Braydens shoe strings together so he can't run faster than me, the little turkey. Hes only about 11, shouldn't be faster than me. Lol.

Course InfoOut and back 4 mile race starts and finishes at 6565 Kimball Dr across park and ride.   Most of it goes on the NEW portion of the Cushman Trail!  Run solo or as a team of 2 to compete for some great prizes!  If you're on a team you must cross finish line together.  Race starts at 8:45am.

Lan & I picked up our shirts & race packets a couple weeks ago so we're all set, just gotta get tot he venue, drop off our canned food and run.

There is a chance I might be hauling a horse tomorrow for another rescue. This is a 10 yr old pinto gelding thats at the ESP and if this lady doesn't purchase him, he will end up going to slaughter. He looks like too nice a horse to let that happen and I'm really hoping it works out for the lady& the horse.

Nerissa is giving her horse, Junior, away. he is a 21 yr old TB gelding that shes had for the last 3 years or so. Hes either been lame or under weight every time I've seen him and she has no qualms about riding him like that. Shes lamed up at least 5 horses in the last couple years. But she has apparently found someone in Leavenworth to take him and they want me to deliver him next week. If I do it I'm going to tell the person taking him that instead of giving him back to her to please have him put down becuase Nerissa is NOT a good place for this horse to be. Sounds harsh but shes irresponsible. There is NO reason for her horses to be 200-300 lbs underweight when there is hay in the barn.

Hauling for Horse Rescues

How is training going? I made it to the YMCA for the strength portion of our regular class and it was hard. Good.

This horse is named Dashing Lady, she is  TB mare recently rescued out of the kill pen at the Enumclaw Sales Pavilion by Second Chance Ranch. This mare needed to go to Moses Lake, Washington so SCR emailed me to see if I could do it for them.

If course I could, I'm not doing anything else. I left ride after my YMCA class and picked up Lady in Enumclaw at the Back Forte Ranch. She loaded right up but was being silly in the trailer so I removed her hay bag & left her head untied. Nothing worse than a horse that gets its head tie over its head and freaks out.

She hauled fine.

 I stopped on the way through Auburn and picked up my mom and took her with me. She never gets to go anywhere anymore, my dad is a home body and Mom was ready for an outing. I've taken her with me for a couple other trips, once to Yakima to pick up Sunshower and once we drove a brand new Cadillac  Escolade to Ephrata, Washington for a local Cadillac dealer that needed it returned to its owner. That was fun, they paid for it all and I drove a top notch car for a couple hundred miles, then returned with another brand new Caddy. Can't beat that.

Horse hauling for rescues

Running in the rain

How is training going? Very good.

This morning I was able to catch Buds YMCA spin class, 45 minutes. We 'rode' from Gig Harbor to Green Bay to participate in the big Super Bowl Party. Warm up from here to Snoqualmie Pass then fast spinning over to Boise. Then up & over the Rockies then more up over the Matterhorn. Then down & fast spinning through Dakotas then we were almost there.
Bud always has good 70's & 80's rock music and has a theme, like todays. Before Thanksgiving he had us working off our Thanksgiving meals, one item per week.

I came home & cleaned the whole barn, chased a few horses around the arena, relaxed. The weather was nice, dry and not windy at all. Then I went out to run my required 5k (5k in 45 minutes) and it was pouring! So I bucked up and got it done. I thought I had enough road to run on neighborhood roads; go to the end, turn & go half way back, turn & go to the end then come home but I was .05 mile short. Dang. But I did 3.05 in 33:16 and I was happy with that. I wasn't trying to go fast and there were a few hills to go up.
I got soaked and my hands were cold for the first 2 miles but then I got hot.
I'm glad I did it and running in the rain really isn't any colder than running in just cold weather. They are saying its supposed to be dry for the next 3 days so lets hope so.

Tomorrow I hope to catch Torreys YMCA spin/strength class then I'm heading out to Enumclaw with my small horse trailer to pick up a mare & haul her to Moses Lake. If I get to Vantage in time I'll stop by the rest area and visit with Cindi.

Cindi and I became friends 31 years ago and we got reconnected last year on FaceBook. I had seen her a couple times over the years but now we 'talk' all the time. Last summer Abby & I went on a fun 4 day weekend with Cindi & the 'Pussy Posse', I can give you details about that another time.

Suntop Trail

Our ride up to Suntop Trail

Nearby Town: Enumclaw, Washington

Ride type:        loop

trail type:         single track 75%

                          fire/gravel road 25%

Distance:          18 miles

Elevation gain: 4000 feet

Climbing:          long

skill level:         Advanced skills

Trail Description:
If you like spectacular scenery and amazing views, then this is the ride for you. It starts with a grueling 7 mile 4,000 foot climb, but rewards you with the most breathtaking view of Mt. Rainier you won't soon forget. At the top, take in the sights and an energy bar and get ready for miles of amazing singletrack. The beginning of the decent is steep and technical, but the challenges ease as the trail descends.



See the zigzag marks in the trees on the mountain beyond Lan?
 Thats the 5 miles of gravel road we rode up. And up and up and up.
There were no breaks in the UP on this gravel road, not even
a dip.
Lan sure has sexy legs in this photo.



How to get there:
From Enumclaw, drive East on Highway 410. After about 30 miles, keep your eyes out for road #73 on the right. (if you see the Visitor's Information Center, you have gone too far. But since you're there, you might want to pick up a map of the trail). After turning onto road #73, cross the bridge and immediately turn right into the small parking area. If you have two cars, you can drive a second car to the top of Sun Top Mountain and then ride back down to your first car.

Lan and I went up near Mt Rainier on August 27th, 2010 to ride this trail. Lan had been there before so he kinda knew what we were in for but he must have had a fuzzy memory.    We thought we had plenty of time for this ride but later I'll tell you about our timing.

After we got up the 5 miles of gravel roads we got to this point, not the beginning of the trail but the part where Lan said I would be able to do it. I guess the top is way technical and steep and I wouldn't be able to do it. We thought we were home free at this point, all ready to go down now...

 Going down wasn't an option there though; we had to climb up the single track trail for another mile! We passed a few guys at this view point, they took our photo and that was nice of them.
Side note: a couple days later Lan and I went to Tiger Mtn Summit and those same guys were there.

 The trail was steep on the sides, it was just like this photo and I really did ride along the trail but I was so careful not to look over the edge. I always steer where I'm looking and I didn't want to go over the edge.

 Another point a ways farther up the road. It was getting chilly here.

I love these kinds of trails. They challenge me to the extreme but as I do more and more of them I am learning new tricks and skills. In the video below you see one of the guys who we passed on the trail. He was the last one to pass us and he was slow, I was actually faster than he was but only by a split second. The other guys BLASTED  past us on this section of trail and it took me too long to get the camera out to get video of them.

Lan and I finally got to ride down for about a mile or so when we realized we were running out of daylight. It was getting quite chilly even with our leg warmers and jackets on. We had our backpacks with us with a limited suply of food but no more clothes and we were getting cold, really cold.

After riding single track for only a couple miles total Lan made a decision that we needed to get off the mountain and that we were basically lost so we rode to the next logging road and headed down it. It was not the same one we had come up but after a while he figured out it was the one that is just uphill from where we started out.

We rode for about 25 minutes and got so cold that we had to get off our bikes and jump around to warm our fingers as neither of us was able to feel our fingers (for steering or breaking). At  one point we came around a blind corner and I almost hit a car head on, he didn't have his head lights on yet and with out bike tires on the gravel road we couldn't hear him.

We rode down the logging road as fast as we could but it was past dusk when we hit hwy 410 and headed down. We had to go along the hwy for a few miles and we hauled ass but without any head or tail lights none of the cars could see us and we were risking our lives. Several times cars would pass other ones right beside us and it was scary. Finally after dark we got to our car.

Here is a map of the trail, quite small but you can kind of get a hint of it. We promised ourselves that someday we will go back and we will complete the ride again, but we will get there earlier in the day, make it a warmer day, shuttle to the top and ride all the way down to the car on trails.
And I can't wait to do it.

The Pie is not better yet

How is training going? Better.

I went out to the barn this morning and saw that he has been laying down a lot and he is dirty but I didn't see him rolling. But I'm sure he has been.  I brought him into the barn & put the heat lamp on him, his hay is soaked and I'll make sure hes got plenty of wet hay all day. His flanks are getting a little sunken in & thats not good so I'm keeping a close eye on him.

For my training I ran 3.5 miles of hills this morning then my 4x100 yard striders. Glad its done.

Choke in a horse

How is training going? I'm not feeling well. Didn't run today, yet.

Just as C was leaving tonight, I mean, she wasn't even out of first gear pulling away, I realized The Pie was choking. I had to run up to the house and yell for Lan to come help me in the barn. Poor Pie, he had snot all over & was rolling outside in his run. Lan & I brought him into his stall and spent 5 minutes trying to give him some mineral oil which Lan was finally able to get into The Pies mouth. I think all the stress of fighting us about the oil is what finally dislodged the food in his throat. Now for dinner The Pie only gets a handful of soaked grass but I'll go out later and give him some more, and he'll get his usual amount in the morning~ but still soaked.

The first time I experienced Choke I wasn't even there. Wifi was staying over at Amys house with Argo. I had been by to visit that afternoon & on the way home Andy called, said the vet was on her way there. I went back and there was snot everywhere but by then Wifi was much better. The vet came out, gave her a gallon of mineral oil, supplied me with 10 days SMZ's and charged me $350.

The second time it was Sunshower. This time I had a clue what to do and I had also just read an article earlier that week in a magazine, which just happened to still be out in the barn. So I tried to clean her throat by hand but she wasn't having any of that so Lan then helped me shoot some water into her mouth with a syringe. It worked, it got dislodged. She got wet food that night too and the days afterward.

It has happened to Sunshower a few times since then so I always keep mineral oil on hand for choke and colic. The vets charge $20 for a gallon of it and I can get a quart for $2.50 so I stock up regularly. I know they can still get pneumonia but I can't have the vet coming out once a month for this. The only thing the vet does that I don't do is the SMZ's and if they don't get sick then its wasted money. If he does get sick then I will call the vet.

As for training, I am feeling exceptionally tired and am not motivated to run, not at all. I'll go get my clothes on now and get on the treadmill but I wont be happy about it, lol.

Oh yeah, LOVE our new bed. I woke up during the night and the first thing I realized was that I was warm underneath me, not just on top. I felt like I was in a heated nest, cozy and everything. Yay new bed.

Spin & Strength went well...

How is training going?  Started the day out well and then it went to hell.

I wasn't able to do my run, just could not get into it & my left ankle kept cramping. After the Achilles tendon issues I 'ran thru' last year, only to injure them badly, I do not mess around with burning pain. When the pain started I just walked and completed a measly 1.6 miles, mostly at a walk. My training called for a 40 minute run so I'm going to complete it tomorrow.

Today I did complete the spin/strength class at the YMCA and that whole class felt good. Thursday is endurance day so I surprised myself when i was about to do all of the 50 sit ups on the stability ball (even though I wasn't very stable) and everything else as well. I need to get some dedicated GYM shoes, the ones I wear from home always have chicken shit on the soles & leave messes on the gym floor.

Torrey asked who was going to do the Sound to Narrows so I raised my hand. Its Saturday June 11, 2011. 7.6 miles. Its 6 weeks after I will finish my half marathon so 7.6 should feel like a walk in the park. Its too early to register online yet but I've got it penciled onto my calendar.

Its a good thing I live in the same area as this race or I'd die from the hills. Could you imagine living in Nebraska and trying to run a hilly course? That would suck.
Here is the course. The top of it is where Fort Nisqually is located, I played there a lot when I was a kid. Mom used to take us out to Point Defiance (that's the name of this park, in Tacoma, Washington) to play when I was in elementary school. At least once a month we went there and I seriously thought we owned it. Most of it is surrounded by Puget Sound so there are excellent views everywhere you look. I can't wait for the race, I'll definately take pictures.

Thank goodness they aren't making us go down into Owens Beach, the climb out of there would stop any sane person from running in the race.

I need to go add it to my race calendar on here.
