Happy Vernal Equinox!!!

OK, I'm a little slow to wishing everybody a happy spring. But it's officially on.

Check out this cool article about NYARA's High Rock Challenge. I've managed to do a pretty good job of missing this over the years. And once again will be racing at Odyssey's bigger badder Endorphin Fix when HRC competitors hit the mud pits. But jeez that looks like a ton of fun. Nasty, filthy, fun challenges like the old school Hi-TEC/Balance Bar Sprints without having to paddle inflatable pool toys. Yeehaw!!

Got my first weekly Orienteering meet fix last week with the DVOA event at Nolde. Officially the Team GOALS ARA orienteering scoreboard reads:

Hare 1
Tortoise 0

One wrong turn and one trail blown past was too many mistakes to hold off the young and speedy (don't be fooled by that M40, it's a typo). Conditions were rocky, wet and slippery at Nolde as evidenced by the compass I crushed while falling. I'm going to have to do more intervals and hills before the woods get drier and faster or the hare is going to run it up like UCLA did on Mississippi Valley State last night. Hey, Kevin Love, why you gotta do Jerry Rice's alma mater like that??? :)
