Adventure Race

What a crazy thing to do...but it was so much fun!
It was a six hour adventure race that included running, mt. biking, and kayaking. The best way I can explain what an adventure race is…it’s like a scavenger hunt with a topographic map. Shawn is by far the Navigator of the bunch…but I’m learning a lot! We started down town Reno then biked and ran all over Peavine mountain…my favorite part is when Shawn said, “it will be quicker to carry our bikes on our back up up up and over these hills”…I wish we had a picture of that…unfortunately there are no pictures of that part of the race.
Lucas is the best because he stood around and watched the whole thing!


Lucas screen printed our Team Jersey’s “Bio-Fuel Kills Orangutans.” What a cute little baby!



Race Meeting...Rules


Shawn figuring out the map…I’m helping so much.

Out of river to the bikes


Transition...yes we have nice Butts!


Me starting on the bike

Finish....5:36 minutes later...boy was I tired...But I still think a Marathon is the worst thing I have done!

Point Reyes

Yeah backpacking in Point Reyes is beautiful, relaxing, and Fun!
Lucas, Shawn, and I camped on the coast (CA) for two days...good times!

Summer Fun

The semester ended around the middle of May and we have been enjoying our summer break…until June 9th when summer school starts.
Lucas played another show in Tahoe last night…and booked another show for august in Sacramento, Ca,…and has another one tonight at Davidson’s Distillery (the Local Harley bike club in town…so Reno people you should GO!)
My friend, Shawn Tuckett, and I have been training for our first adventure race on June 15th. We are going to first do a 6-12 hour race that will qualify us to participate in the 24 hour adventure race in August. On Memorial day Shawn and I went hiking/Running to practice our navigation skills for the race…I never knew a map could tell you so much. We parked his jeep off some dirt road, picked a point to trek to (Carson Hot-Springs), and went running through the hills! Ohh what fun. (I will hopefully post pictures…but they are on Shawn’s camera.)
Today, however, I did something I have never done before…to make a long story short…I got a new Mountain bike yesterday and this morning at FedEx Shawn says, “There is a mountain bike race up Peavine today. We should do that instead of a 150 mile bike ride….” I didn’t want to do it…BUT Today I raced in my first mountain bike race! What scary crap, well down hill at least, but I'm still alive.




Ban Bio-Fuel...it kills Orangutans (That's what my jersey says...thanks to Lucas.)



The start of the race, pretty low key.



Shawn looking super RAD!
