Central America

We love going off the beaten path. Training and racing. This is way off the beaten path on the Caribbean side of Panama. Deep jungle. Like see wild -animals-deep-jungle. Like see spiders and their webs that could have you for lunch jungle. So we were excited about the island of Roatan off Honduras race next month. Only thing is.......they just cancelled it. But we have flight tickets and rooms. They hopefully will have the race early 2011. Hopefully.

SC Velo mountain bike race

SC Velo put on a great event today @ Bonelli Park. Race directors Al and Omar have got it down. The course was challenging and big fun. I borrowed Corey's single speed and mixed it up with the blinged out carbon 29er's. I liked the fact that I was possibly the only steel framed, v-braked, inner tubed, not-a-single-piece of carbon SS out there. Do I sound envious? Okay I was. But had I been riding any one of those eye candy bikes today wouldn't have made a bit of difference. I managed a 3rd place and Corey's trusty old steed really pretty much performed.............flawless.

Today's mail........

Bills. That's what I typically get in the mail. But today this arrived. An official County of Los Angeles Gold Seal Award signed by the board of supervisors. All for winning the Los Angeles Triathlon Series race a few months ago. See what racing can do for you? So train smart, race hard and recover well. Schedule an appointment for sports massage with us and you'll be one step closer to getting one of these!!
