Race day! The alarm went off at 4:30. Yuck. I forget how noisy tent camping can be. We listened to some coyotes during the night and one of us snored. I’m not saying which one. We pulled on our clothes which consisted of new socks for both of us, and new pants for me. Which ...
A little over a week ago, Sheri and I did our first ‘big’ adventure race. It’s summer and all of the usually modes of transportation were included….kayaking, biking, hiking and orienteering. This was RRRR – for Run, Row, Rock and Roll in Fairbury NE. We had the choice of the Sport Course – ...
We did another beer run a week ago, the Mud, Sweat, and Beer trail run. It would be a lot more fun if I liked beer!! But I do like the trails, the people, and the atmosphere! This was in Ashland, NE at a golf course with beautiful views of the platte river. ...
Last Saturday we did a beer run. The Lucky Bucket Beer run. It was out at a state park and was on a pretty nice trail. I thought it was going to be through the wooded dirt trails and wore my trail shoes, but it ended up being on pavement the whole way. It was ...
Team Knotheads is preparing for our upcoming race on June 14th. We had our first trail ride last week on single track. I’m not entirely sure we were where we were supposed to be but we didn’t get kicked out. We really didn’t see anyone for that matter. We rode for about an hour and ...
Last night I finally got a new to me bike! The week before I had went to the bike shop and looked at the Specialized Women’s Jett. It’s a nice ride. They were going to get a smaller one in for me to check out but in the meantime I found out about my friend ...
Sigh. I want to upgrade my bike. I have a 16 + year old mountain bike. It’s been good to me. I rode a lot more before I got married and had kids. Highlight was a hiking/biking trip to Moab, Utah. Beautiful place, great memories. I really want to go back again. But my bike. ...
Sunday was the Lincoln Marathon and Half Marathon. I ran the half. The only pictures I ended up having are the ones my mom took where they came and watched. Oops. This was the first time I ran the Lincoln Half and it was pretty cool to see the town come out and support the ...
The weather here is still trying to figure out if it’s spring or winter still. We get a nice day or two, followed by cold. I am so ready for it to warm up! Next week is a 5 mile trail run, there will be hills!…which I need to plan another 5 miles after ...
A couple of weeks ago we did another trail run.It was cold. Very cold. -10 to -20 wind chill cold. But we had signed up for another trail run and there would be no cancelling the event. So 2 of us still went. I enjoy being part of the group that does these events and ...
