Our Piece of History

The Exhibition chair at Arapahoe Basin has been retired. A new chair will be in it's place for the start of the 2010/2011 season.

The chairs went up for sale in May, and we were some of the lucky winners! Karyn and I and 3 of our friends purchased 3 of the chairs. Pick up for the chairs was June 11.

Thanks David for collecting our piece of history... Now what to do with it...

Bolder Boulder

Today Karyn and I had different plans. She was all signed up for the Bolder Boulder with her training coach's team.

She got up at 5:00 am and hit the road to meet up with the bus for a ride up to the start line.

I got up a little later and hit the bike. My plan was to get to the finish line just about the time she was finishing.

Karyn finished in just over an hour, and I finished in about an hour 50, at 29 miles. But instead of meeting her at the finish line, I headed straight for the young Alumni BBQ. Karyn joined shortly.

Both had a good day.

The Map of the Ride

This was a fun ride!

Sunday, May 30th..... what can I say?

So, this morning we got up and did 'normal' stuff and then headed up to Arapahoe Basin for some turns on our monoskis - yep, I did ride a mono instead of teles and that is because of the amazing float of the larger surface area of the mono in slushy snow. (yep, just a 'little' geeky there)

Then we were off for a mountain bike ride in Frisco with our friends!!! About 11 miles and 3 hours later we were all done and headed back to home.....

For those that don't know, Tucker and I 'trade' weeks of cooking. It works really well... starts on Sunday night and ends on Saturday night but I had some time and ingredients so I cooked tonight as well - before my BIG day that starts at 5 am tomorrow to run the Bolder Boulder 10K!!!!

Tonight's dinner was lobster, sun-dried tomato and goat cheese pizza... all low carb and DEFINITELY low cal and low fat - taken/adapted from Weight Watchers!!!
Here is the finished product - I'm still in my bike clothes as I 'write' this!



At least if my bike 'clothes' include the Strawberry Shortcake band-aid as a result of a 2X6 scraping across my shin as we set out to pack the car this morning?!?!?!

The many uses of duct tape!

---quick blog, had a couple of minutes between bootcamp and swim lesson ;)----




So, my good friends - knowing my love of the color PINK - bought me PINK duct tape!!! Whoo hooo! The typical use of duct tape for this crew is on your ski pole for backcountry repairs....

OR on your binding to reduce/eliminate ice buildup....

This was my first use of the PINK duct tape - sorry, guys, I know you wanted to see it on a ski pole first.... quite frankly, SO DID I!!!!!!!!!!

Painting

We helped out the Brinkman, Emerle, Holsehouser's paint this weekend... I didn't get too many good pix, but I did manage to get a couple irresistible shots of David:
