My alarm was set for 5:30 am. Went off, I rolled out of bed at 7:30, jumped in the car and was at the White Pine trail head by 8:30. 2 hours behind schedule. Off I went. The goal was and hour to Red Pine lake and another hour to the summit. Back from summit to car in 1:30. Reaching but reasonable. 9 miles round trip. 3622 feet elevation gain. <br />

So I realized that I didn't take any photos after this of the head wall. It is very steep and I went off in the wrong direction. Had to traverse across a bolder field to get back on the right trail and back to the ridge. Bummer. Cost me 20 minutes. <br />

Total time car to car 3:49. Sore quads the following day. It was a great run down. Made me conflicted. Need some more warm and dry to pick off a few more summits in Summitember. But, I could feel some nice carved turns as I was coming down.<br />

I love Snowbird. When I started to ski in the 5th grade, my parents put me in lessons at Brighton. Not a bad thing, as you know I actually love Brighton too. But....., my goal in the early years was to get good enough to be able to ski the Bird. My junior year in high school I bought 20 tickets and have rolled them over every year since 1988. <br />
<br />
I was married September 1, 1994. Melissa and I have made it a tradition to go to Snowbird for our anniversary. We have gone 4-5 times int he past 18 years. Always a great retreat. Thanks to Cathy for spotting the bill for us on our 1st year anniversary. On my list of "favorite places." Melissa and I actually went to celebrate our anniversary on the 2nd and stayed until Monday, Labor day the 3rd. Kids and church and trying to maintain a semblance of adult responsibility kept us from stretching the trip a little longer. <br />

Well we are in the mountains after all. Let's knock off a summit. It was tempting to just ride the tram up and call it good. But, Melissa and I hiked up Peruvian Gulch to the top of Hidden Peak. </div>

I hope a dude adventure becomes an annual tradition. Up next, Wind Rivers? Moab? Grand Canyon? The committee is open for discussion. Thanks to my friends that helped me celebrate at my birthday party. It was awesome. skinnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17960108165541594264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573594986389747545.post-68450239467115908612012-09-09T15:08:00.003-07:002012-09-09T15:10:24.982-07:00Kings Peak Day #3 7/27/12Day 3 - Summit Day! We woke up, pretty much broke down camp and stashed our packs in Chad's tent. If felt great to be hiking without the 45lb pack. We were all feeling pretty light and good after a decent night sleep. To this point in the trip there had been no rain. A full 48 hours in the Uintas with out rain or thunder is unheard of. Clouds started to gather as we headed out for our summit attempt. I had faith that we would make it. And in fact the thunders storms split all around us. There were some boomers as we were near the top that hastened our return and we didn't get wet until we were off the ridge and down hiking. But I digress.....<br />

Our coal was to cut the below the shoulder and pick up the trail right at the base of the headwall that leads to Anderson Pass. We had 4 miles from Base Camp to the Summit. 2100 ft elevation gain from camp to the summit.</td></tr>

No one got eaten during the night. From the Red Castle camp we had to back track about a half mile to get the trail that would take us up to Smith Fork Lake and over Smith Fork Pass to the Kings Peak Base Camp. Spirits were generally high as seen below. Notice Rob is not in the picture. I think he was enjoying the solitary of hiking by himself. And maybe he was tired of us already. You never know.<br />

I think we were all in bed by 8:30pm. Enjoyed some fantastic man conversation.

A couple of months ago I sent out an email to all of my buddies asking if anyone wanted to wander into the wilderness and summit Kings Peak with me. 5 hardy souls relented to my constant badgering and came with me. The story is that last summer I went on the 50 miler with our scout troop. Bad news, there was too much snow blocking the trail on one of the more dangerous passes. I was thwarted. I really wanted to check it off my list and I thought it would be a cool opportunity to do a 40th birthday trip. Think "City Slickers" So off we went.</div>

Players in the game: Andrew "eddie" Burt, John Spencer, Geoff Shehan, Robert Marsh, Chad Dunford and myself. </div>

It is a little bit of a drive. We stuffed 6 full grown men and 6 packs into Chads Yukon and were off. Johnny and Geoff got the shaft of having to sit in the way back. We put Andrew in the middle seat to minimize whining. We would get plenty of that on the trail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
We arrived at China Meadows trail head. Last year when I opened the door and got out of the car I was literally swarmed with bugs. This year. Nothing. I did not get one bug bite for the entire trip. I guess a benefit of a dry year. <br />

A simple update. I ran up Milvue Peak. You start at the "Elbow" in Millcreek Canyon at the Mt. Aire trail head. The trail splits, you go to Lambs Canyon Pass. What I am finding is that on my Wasatch Mountain Club topo map any trail that is marked with "H" for "Historic" = Bushwack. I am good with that. Makes me feel like I am taking the road less traveled. </div>

A nice shot heading up the non "historic" trail to Lambs Canyon Pass. I love Aspen stands.</div>

One of the genetic traits that I picked up from my grandfather Homer is that I like to take pictures of butterflies and flowers. Weird, I know. I think Homer took a picture of every flower he ever came across. He was a fantastic photographer. It has been great running in Millcreek. There have been thousands of butterflies. As you run down the trail, they come up all around you. Pretty cool. These stood still long enough for me to snap a photo.<br />

I get up regularly at 5-5:15 from October through June. Summer comes and it feels like I am lucky to get out of bed by 8am. This is so counter intuitive to me. It is warm, light and wonderful. And I struggle every morning to get out of bed. This morning is no exception. My alarm was set for 5:30am. I got out of bed the first time at 6am to get Jonas out of bed for swim practice and then got my lazy butt out of bed and out the door to the trail head by 6:30. My favorite comment of the morning after Melissa tried unsuccessfully to kick me out of bed the second time, "Why do you set the alarm so early if you never get out of bed? It always wakes me up." Well you know what road is paved with good intentions? It feels sometimes like I am heading down that road. Anyway, I got out of bed, out the door and up Millcreek Canyon for the latest summit on the quest for 40. It amazes me that I can be in the mountains in 3 miles and totally alone in 5. I love it.<br />
<br />
Nothing too funny/exciting or awesome happened on this trip. It was quiet, cool, no wind and beatiful. The only thing I heard was the birds and my heart beat. A good way to start the day. <br />
<br />
Time up: 56 minutes<br />
Time down: 32 minutes<br />
Elevation 8621(1900 ft gain)<br />
Mileage Round Trip: A little over 4<br />

But, I am OK with that. It was a choice. I was planning on racing the Echo Triathlon. A race I had not done since 2008. I have determined that the summit goal stretches me physically. Anytime I go up and down a mountain my quads scream at me for a couple of days (A Good thing). So I laid off this week so I could feel good on race day, Saturday. I was a little bummed this week because my sleep has been poor at best and I missed workouts on Wednesday-Friday because of work and family obligations. Last week is a week I don't need to repeat anytime soon. Tiring, physically and emotionally. That is another story. When Friday afternoon rolled around I was quite ready for the weekend. Left work, went home, cleaned the house (we all have chores), took the kids to dinner, did a little fun shopping with the kids at Old Navy, packed for my race and was in bed by 11. Way to late by Shawn standards, especially on race night. Anyway, Saturday morning rolls around and off to the races. <br />
<br />
It is much easier getting two adults to a race than 2 adults and 5 kids to a race. One of the benefits of having teenagers is that they can watch over their siblings. Melissa and I left for Echo at 5am, arrived in Coalville, and rode to the south beach "resort" at the lake. I am a "fan" of Echo Reservoir. The last several years it has been a great hiding place for our family. It is a mud hole this year. They are repairing the dam and have drained the lake to late October levels. A good 40 feet below last year. Very low. This proved problematic for the tri swim. Anywhooo, got to the lake, set up my transition and got ready to race. You can see here that I have my "game face" on. I have moved up and age group this year. Had to show everyone around me that I was serious. Just kidding. <br />

What is missing from the picture is the half mile slog through dirt, thistles and mud to get to the water. As mentioned above in normal circumstances this is a fantastic race venue. Close to the water and generally pleasant. The water was a murky mess. When you put your head down, literal pitch black. It was brighter when my eyes were closed. I was glad that I have been playing a lot of water polo with the team the last few week. Heads up came in very helpful. <br />

The gun. I am the one on the far right of the photo with head up, long arms, high elbows. I have a confession to make in 20 years of triathlon I have never purposely hit another person until this race. A gentleman was swimming to my right side and hit me in the head with his hand not once, not twice, but three times on 3 successive strokes. Triathlon etiquette requires that if you are the one making the contact you back off, you are on someones line. As mentioned, I have been playing some water polo the last few weeks. The offender received some of my Chuck Norris like water polo swimming skills in return. He backed off after that (just a little elbow rake to the back, happens all the time at polo).<br />

Melissa missed the swim to bike transition. As mentioned, far away and at this point of the race congested. No photos of the bike. Which is a shame. This is the first race that I was able to use my full race set-up (<a href="http://stringhamadventure.blogspot.com/2012/06/boise-703-ironman.html">Boise was a blow-ou</a>t). It was awesome. Super smooth and fast. Up Echo Canyon I was riding 20mph, Down was about 32mph. The thing about this set up is it just feels fast. I averaged 22.5 mph over 25 miles. 1:08 split. The 22+ was exactly the pace I was training for at Boise. Really happy all the way around. Which is why I had this big smile on my face as I went out on the run. Melissa challenged me to improve my transition time. I have been long blamed (literally from my first race when my mom was yelling at me to get going) that I am not very fast in transition. Bike to run I had the 16th fasted in the race. Better. <br />

Close up of big smile. I found out after the race, that I started the run in 2nd place in my age group. This is a huge change. My triathlon life could be encompassed in these words. "Out of water fast, blown by on the bike, try not to cry on the run." As mentioned I actually picked up many spots on the bike and it was just fun. Being said, the lack of sleep and lack of stellar run work-outs the last month caught up to me. I was about 10 seconds off my Boise half pace (7:30). I averaged a 7:40/mile pace. 45 minute 10K. For an Olympic race to be competitive you have to be at 7- to 7:15. I think I could get there if some pieces come together. <br />

I finished 5th in my age-group in the top 20 overall. 10-15 minutes faster than the last time I did Echo in 2008. Post race massages always feel great. <br />

I am swimming, riding and running as fast as I have ever been. On the way home Melissa asked me if 10 years ago when I was turning 30 that someone told you that you would be faster as a 40 year old what you would think. That question made me pause. Then, I would have said you were crazy. Now, I think I can be even stronger. Feeling great, loving life. It does take more time to recover now. Got home from the race and crashed. Napped for like 3 hours, went to a concert and drove to Bear Lake at 11 o'clock at night. In general, I think we are crazy. Gotta run more and go get some summits in. Did I mention that my wife is awesome. Thanks for your support Melissa.<br />

Up next Kings Peak.<br />

I have decided that the 2-1-2-2 workday would be pretty cool. Having a full day off in the middle of the week would be great. Don't see that happening on a regular basis any time soon. It was great to be able to celebrate the 4th of July with the family..... and get summit number 2 in.<br />
<br />
First lesson in adventure, have everything packed and ready for out the door the night before. I intended to be out the door by 6:30am. Didn't leave until 8am. All good, had to get bag ready, drop Jonas off for flags, eat, etc, etc....<br />
<br />
The original trip plan was to get both Church Fork Peak and Mt. Aire in today. From Pipeline to Burch Hollow trail to ridge head west to the Church Fork Summit then east along the ridge to Mt. Aire, down Mt Aire and back to the car via Pipeline to Burch Hollow trail head. Due to the late start and some significant bushwhacking on the ridge (Melissa and I look like our legs were attacked by a pack of wild cats) and that we needed to get back to other role (parents) we just went up and down the Burch Hollow trail.<br />
<br />
Up: 1:44<br />
Down: 1:04<br />
Total 2:48 <br />
Elevation gain: 2305<br />
Mileage: Just over 6 <br />
<br />
A look from Burch Hallow trail down in to the valley. That is Grandeur at the far right of the photo.<br />

Fun to have Melissa go with me<br />
<br />
We can never have just one thing on the calendar. We hurried down the mountain to our annual 4th of July picnic, which is a favorite for everyone. <br />

<br />
This was a great boating session. We couldn't get the kids out of the water. I love it when they fight over who is up next. They all had pulls of 20-30 minutes each. A couple of great quotes:<br />
<br />
Jonas - "Dad, I just want to get in and work on getting back and forth across the wake." Melissa and I literally turned to each other and gave each other a high 5. We have been waiting 5 years for that sentence. Jonas is getting quite good on the knee board. <br />
<br />
Samantha - after a 20 minute ride on the knee board "I can't move my fingers, can someone pull the wedgie out of my butt?"<br />
<br />
So good that we were on the water from 3 until 8ish, Melissa and I didn't even get in the water.<br />
<br />
This may work out after all.<br />
<br />
Happy 4th of July!<br />

I promise this isn't a mid-life crisis. That is still 10 years away. Those of you who know me know that I am happier when I have a goal. Finish LOTOJA, finish 5 LOTOJA's, 1000 mile July, do a 70.3 Ironman, assess readiness for a full Ironman, etc, etc, etc.... The list goes on. So I have been playing with this idea for a couple of months. I wanted to do something really cool this year. How about Kings Peak on my 40th Birthday. That would be cool. I got snubbed out of the summit last year, It would be a great opportunity to bond with my friends. My birthday is on a Sunday this year. Nix. Still going to Kings Peak, in July. Very excited. So here is the goal: 40 summits in my 40th year. I am planning on hitting hiking/running/climbing 40 different summits in our Wasatch range (with some Uinta's thrown in). <br />
<br />
Within this loop there are <a href="http://www.feedthehabit.com/outdoors/peak-bagging-in-the-wasatch-the-core-77-peak-list/">77 summits</a>. That is crazy. That is a lot of mountains. Doesn't make 40 sound like too many.<br />
<br />
<img alt="the-core-77" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2266" src="http://www.feedthehabit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/the-core-77.jpg" width="500" /><br />

My decision to get to this goal has been a journey in and of itself. It seems, I am pretty busy. I work for a great company named <a href="http://orriant.com/">Orriant</a>. Orriant helps people set goals and become healthier. We teach people to stretch themselves to make improve their health and make them their best self. This goal will stretch me. We teach people to write down their goals and make it public. This is me making it public. I am trying to put up or shut up. <br />
<br />
So when I decided 40 I initially thought 40 by my 40th birthday. Reality check. Job, as mentioned above is keeping me pretty busy (It seems there are not a ton of healthy people in the US). Church calling, always something there. Water Polo, team is gaining momentum, excited about that project. <a href="http://stringhamadventure.blogspot.com/">Wife</a>, who is awesome and incredibly supportive, seriously. And then these guys.....<br />

I have been thinking about them a lot. Jonas now has feet that are the same size as mine. I think that might be a precursor that my family is growing up. I really don't want to miss that. So the 40 in 40 goal was extended to hit 40 peaks before I turn 41. August 19, 2013. Very doable, but still a challenge. This has helped me determine what I am really focusing on is BALANCE.<br />

Recently, I have taken to stacking rocks in my yard. I love balancing the rocks of different sizes to make something cool. It is a great metaphor. If one rock looses balance, they all fall. Draw your own conclusion.<br />
<br />
40 in 40 started today. I checked one off the list today. Grandeur Peak. Trail head is 4 miles from my home and it stares at me from my office window in Sandy. Right there between those two buildings. <br />

And proof, The sign says.. "#1 6/29/2012 Grandeur Peak 8299ft" I'll work that photo out a little better. At the end of this I want to become a Wasatch trails expert so I can do it again in 60 years. Then I can wander into the mountains, lay down and die. Before then, I have a lot of living to do.<br />
<br />
It is good to have a goal. If you want to join me, let me know. Set a goal and let people know. It is all about balance. See you in the mountains, at the pool, on the road and lots of other places.<br />

My goal is/was to reduce 1/3 to 1/2 of all of our stuff. So far I have 5 Suburban loads full of "stuff" that went to the DI. Here is the good stuff. If you are interested, send me an email or text/call me. This batch of stuff was originally my grandparents. Much of it vintage/antique.

You might find that strange, seeing that I can travel to the best skiing on the planet in 25 minutes from my front porch. But still, I really want to go on a ski vacation for a week or so with my family. Maybe, Tahoe or BC. You know the whole, ski in, ski out lodge thing could really be up my alley. Here is the kicker. In this dream I take my family, Me, Melissa and my 5 darling children. The best part of the dream is that on this ski vacation all of my children can self manage and are excited to go skiing. Boots, hats, gloves, skis, poles, goggles, you name it they can get ready themselves, get their gear to the snow and then proceed to smoke me down the mountain. The only persons boots I want to buckle in this dream are my own and of course, Melissa. If I were take this dream and distill it down to one image it would be this: We are boarding a 6-pack chair lift and my wife and 5 fore-mentioned darlings board the chair laughing and genuinely enjoying each others company. I get on the next chair, by myself and get to watch 12 skis, 12 poles, 6 helmets, 12 gloves, etc that I didn't put on (except for Melissa's boots of course) gracefully glide up the mountain, whilst I reflect on the pain and sacrifice to get to this juncture. This is my magic moment......<br /><br />In case you were wondering, The Stringham Family is not there yet. Oh, man.<br /><br />This post could be a guide to how to execute a ski day with 7 souls 5 of which are 12 and under. I think a lot of people think I'm crazy (I am), but today, even I thought "This is not worth it." Cue vision of dream here to help stay on target.<br /><br />My stated goal is to have a family that enjoys recreational activities together, especially a "culture of skiing." We go to Warren Miller, we shop Labor Day sales, we plan over snow reports. To this point I have driven this. But there was a slight shift in the "force," perhaps you felt it. When the snow started to fly earlier int he week, my girls (Manth and Milsey) started to say things like "Dad, when can we go skiing?" "Oh my gosh, look at that powder" this morning as I was laying in bed I overheard Samantha and Amelia talking, one said to the other "I am so excited for today" response "Why?", "We get to go skiing!" "yeah, it is going to be awesome!" Bless their hearts! Let's go skiing!<br /><br />The one thing that you need to know when you are a good skier that then has a family your standard of a "great" ski day changes drastically. There is no "first chair", very rarely is there any powder. There is lots of "edgie-wedgies" (not the same thing as happens to your underwear), there are lots of gear explosions as witnessed <a href="http://stringhamadventure.blogspot.com/2010/11/family-ski-day.html">here</a>. And there is a ton, I mean a ton of time spent prepping, organizing, checking, re-checking, finding again after Peter pulls stuff out of bags, stuff. Every skier does the quick-checklist as they pull out of the drive way "Skis, boots, poles, gloves, hat, goggles." Times that by 7 and you have a task on your hand. This clearly falls into my territory. As we get ready to go skiing, I look to Melissa for help, and, as you all know, she is incredibly supportive of all my "endeavors." But on skiing, she kind of looks at me like "hey, this your gig, dude." I am OK with that. Anyway, I pack, which is doubly difficult for the first day of the season. I have a list of 13 essentials everyone needs to go to the mountain, times that by 7... you have 91 items that have to be found and put in a bag. Our rule is that every kid has their own ski bag, in which the 13 items go and essentially stay there all ski season. Melissa, loves to organize, they are even color coded. Makes it very easy, well..... not easy, but better. We load the gear and it's off to the mountain. Being the fun dad that I am, on the way up we drive past the "red church" untouched parking lot, time for "doughnuts," Not the kind you eat. Kids (Jonas, Samantha, Amelia, Megan and Peter), you are not allowed to do this. Unless, I am in the car, of course. Melissa quote: "You can never take the teenager out of the man." Nope. Anywhooo..... up to Brighton.<br /><br />We arrive, no car sickness (this is an improvement). The second great phase of pain. Assembly. It is cold. Really cold, we play the count every digit the temperature is falling game up the canyon. Ummmm... it reached "0." We did score the best parking spot in the lot, however. So in the assembly phase, you take out everything you diligently just put in the bag on all of these very wiggly, and complaining loudly (because of the cold) children. As a father, you can't win here. There is no order that will satisfy everyone. I have tried oldest to youngest, youngest to oldest, we have moved to if you are out of the car and not whining, you get help. Otherwise, it is up to you (insert vision of dream here).<br /><br />Everyone dressed, I think this took us about 20 minutes and up to the lodge, another 15 minutes. Envision the 10th mountain division in formation, hiking up the mountain, preparing a frontal attack. I sent everyone up to the lodge because I had to go pick up my employee pass. Remember that everyone was dressed. By the time I got my pass (10 minutes) and I found them, most of them had their boots, helmets, goggles, socks and gloves off. Seriously? I had a choice, Re-dress or eat. Eat. If you have learn anything from this post and you are interested in having a "ski culture" in your home. Take this advice. Eat early and often. And..... Throw all nutritional concerns out the window. We had fries, 1 chocolate chip cookie, one sugar cookie and brownie for lunch. Kids love it. And always have a pocket of chocolate. It is amazing the power of a Crunch bar to fight back impending meltdowns. Sure it is bribery, but you know what? It works.<br /><br />While I am in the advice mode.... Do your best, but plan on cursing, hopefully only under your breath, but often aloud at least one time during a family ski day. It is inevitable. It is a great way to teach repentance ("Daddies aren't perfect, and sometimes get tired of carrying all your CRAP!") Sorry, I digress. Notice, we have not even put our skis on yet. Focus on patience. A "great" family ski day has very little to do with actual skiing. So throughout this process, Jonas decided he didn't want to ski today, so he was nominated to "watch" (I use that term loosely) Peter in the lodge. Okay, time to redress (another 15 minutes) and off to ski. At this point we actually get our skis on and head to.... the bunny hill.<br /><br />The Explorer lift (affectionately known as "Exploder" by the Brighton Ski School staff) is where we will get our "ski legs" under us. This part is actually really fun. Samantha and Amelia take off. Samantha skiing beautiful parallel turns, Amelia bombing the wedge, but pretty excited to show Melissa around. I skied with Duff and she was successfully playing "red-light, green-light." Duff and I get to the bottom and Duffy says "Dad, that was so fun, can we go again" I say "I love you, yep." Up at the top, I get "Dad, I'm tired, can we go home?" Here is the test. More advice. Avoid temptation to say "D@#$ IT! I packed for 3 hours and hauled all your stuff up here for 1 run? I don't think so! We are skiing, until those little short legs fall off!" Say something like "You want some Crunch Bar? We can go back to the lodge and get some chocolate." The typical response is "Ooh yeah!" By the way Samantha, while she lapped us a couple of times, is already heading back. I take Duff in, leave her in Jonas and Samantha's capable hand and head back out.<br /><br />Amelia earns the "trooper" award. Lapped Exploder 7-8 times, decided she wanted to go up Majestic, bails at the last second because of cold feet. Hike her back to the lodge. Melissa also is a little cold but motivated to get back out to ski. While I take a run she hides in the ski school so the kids don't see her. Yup, we hide from our kids.<br /><br />I swing back around and we take a run together. Just the two of us. I think the first time since 1994. On the lift she said that Amelia told her "When I am an adult, I am leaving my kids behind and skiing with The Husband" The 3 things I get from this statement.... 1) She wants to ski as an adult, 2) I will someday be a grandparent. Wow. 3) She wants to marry a man. Sweet. As we ski down it is great to be with Melissa. When we get down to the lodge, Samantha wants to take another run so Melissa takes her on Majestic. It is now my task to get all the stuff back to the car.<br /><br />In a family ski trip, if people are warm and happy, keep 'em that way. I start with the gear to the car first. A great investment is a cheap toboggan. We load all the gear (skis and poles) and pull it up to the lodge. So skis and stuff back in toboggan and back to car. Hike from car back to lodge. I take the toboggan with me for children. Climb stairs, find kids, convince it's time to go out in the 0 degree weather back to the car. "You can ride in the sled!" Cheers. Amelia, Duff and Peter in the toboggan, I start to pull. The nice thing about back to the car is you are not typically fighting gravity. I proved that. As we were making the last little pitch into the parking lot, I slipped, fell and let go of the sled. Yep, there they go my 3 youngest children careening down the mountain into to the parking lot. I am running as fast as I can after them, in boots. Amelia has the survival instinct to lean out the back and drag her body in the snow, which makes Duff and Peter fall backwards also. This is a good thing. The dragging weight slows them down enough that they glide gently under a parked PathFinder. Unscathed and unharmed. Man, I wish I had it on tape. I would be $10,000 richer from AFV. Enough to pay for my ski vacation someday.<br /><br />Get everything loaded up, heat the car up and wait for Samantha and Melissa to join us back at the car. Everyone seems to have a fun day, 3 of 5 fall asleep on the ride down the canyon. Good sign. We stop at the new Five Guys on the way home and eat more french fries. Very good.<br /><br />Unload, re-pack, put away stuff thinking "I have been working on ski gear for 10 hours now". But, gotta keep the dream alive. Try again on Friday.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMJZf2VUIVhkL9F04W56TawN6-SXOteapXzT-D2voHz_zzDKRjsNjeydl4h_zHotShcw7e_EvVo-5oy3tnRNA_dw8yrpyNKqDc9JqEOzax-E-FeXm5kHsoRhBECREUSsrR0fjkZufJbzUT/s1600/IMG_0423.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMJZf2VUIVhkL9F04W56TawN6-SXOteapXzT-D2voHz_zzDKRjsNjeydl4h_zHotShcw7e_EvVo-5oy3tnRNA_dw8yrpyNKqDc9JqEOzax-E-FeXm5kHsoRhBECREUSsrR0fjkZufJbzUT/s400/IMG_0423.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543353244873873426" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Someday, I'm giving it 12 years, Peter will be 13 and I will watch them in the chair in front of me.

Four days off for Sunday, 3 "missed" days and 24 days of riding. 24 days does not seem like a lot of days now that it is over. But this may be the longest July I have every endured. I rode for a total of 60 hours, 43,834 calories. I am the shadow of the man I used to be.... (don't know if that even makes sense, but I thought it was a cool picture).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhz7EGma5oiEenLsZQGFh3mJ-ExJ-iaXZjbJmlxIARePHqIu6ldFpCt2SEONeEsWT1QaLTtmMgrBzuxFoIxbARgGELmrnOsL_t4BNwRPqyCBDtKOZ_fPeoJYXwLAv-_NEeNhZrbIK_YGBa/s1600/IMG_0275.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhz7EGma5oiEenLsZQGFh3mJ-ExJ-iaXZjbJmlxIARePHqIu6ldFpCt2SEONeEsWT1QaLTtmMgrBzuxFoIxbARgGELmrnOsL_t4BNwRPqyCBDtKOZ_fPeoJYXwLAv-_NEeNhZrbIK_YGBa/s400/IMG_0275.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500598126039518994" border="0" /></a><br />At the summit of Emigration Canyon. Very comfortable ride (38:15, saving legs for jaunt to Alta later) On my way down the canyon I counted over 100 bikes coming up. I was tempted to turn around and ride again just to see how many I could pass, but no... off to Little Cottonwood.<br /><br />Little Cottonwood Canyon is a hard climb. There is no respite. Somewhere between 6 and 12% for 10 miles. I was 90 seconds slower than my PR last hear at the Snowbird Hill climb with 50 miles in my legs on the day and 970 miles on my legs for the month. I hope to crush my PR on August 21st. If you go to the very top at Alta you climb about 4000 feet.

Inane and mind-sucking. I even gave up on the Tour. That sound you hear is Comcast crying as they downgrade our service.<br />2) You need a very supportive wife to ride 1,000 miles in a month. Melissa, thanks! I love you for many reasons, none the least is that you support me and my crazy adventures.<br />3) I will try and make this sound kind. I never want to hear anybody tell me "they don't have time to exercise." I think I have a sound "Phooey" coming their way.<br />4) I don't think you can ride much more than 1,000 miles, be a husband, father, Young Mens President, work full time and play in a band. Just don't think you can.<br />5) My reason for this goal was to avoid a puke bomb at LOTOJA and to build strength and power in the flats and winds. I am feeling pretty good on the bike. If you see me remind me to eat and drink often.<br /><br />August is for climbing. If you want to ride with me, it will probably be uphill. Hey Rob, 50,000 feet vertical in August?

It is a great way to build miles without a) getting up very early, b) spending an additional amount of time from the family. If I go the "long way" there and home and I can get about 30-40 miles depending on the route. I couldn't do this without short hair and baby wipes. Baby wipes is what I use to "freshen up" when I get to work. It is nice that I work for a wellness company, they get what I am trying to do.<br /><br />Speaking of work, here is the progress on our new office.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlnTHCDfE18bNpzfPWlwjoPa-glWtlXhqoGUN3n91Ys2yblXqxw0soMw-Kl0uY-N0afcNGtrMPhOC52zhr5qH14NL_VgNeXqdi24FVPc2WhF8fYqLTvYUl1uJqg_d-p-bF1BGNNlxHwEk/s1600/IMG_0258.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlnTHCDfE18bNpzfPWlwjoPa-glWtlXhqoGUN3n91Ys2yblXqxw0soMw-Kl0uY-N0afcNGtrMPhOC52zhr5qH14NL_VgNeXqdi24FVPc2WhF8fYqLTvYUl1uJqg_d-p-bF1BGNNlxHwEk/s400/IMG_0258.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500584932623833874" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5wFQcirKaE26tvI6ov9wkt9Po9KyZRKkEiirh3jsnYoXpjm58eIEKer0BHXtTNOUpFUdiUOiHKq5HCW6uRwyPLCeRqRoPeV5yxCR4FHiybBM9i8yoPmddIP9nNxDXNuZlqNd7X1zz4CE/s1600/IMG_0260.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5wFQcirKaE26tvI6ov9wkt9Po9KyZRKkEiirh3jsnYoXpjm58eIEKer0BHXtTNOUpFUdiUOiHKq5HCW6uRwyPLCeRqRoPeV5yxCR4FHiybBM9i8yoPmddIP9nNxDXNuZlqNd7X1zz4CE/s400/IMG_0260.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500584924429009314" border="0" /></a><br />We have walls now.

A little less motivated becuase I know I only have 150 miles to go. I never thought 150 miles in a week would make me think "Easy." I feel pretty confident that I am going to hit 1000. Just need to "stay the course" and "focus on the fundamentals" two of my favorite post game sports quotes. Best part of today is I bumped up into a guy named "Bill" on my way to work as I was dropping down 45th South. He hooked onto my wheel and I pulled a mile or two at about 22-23 mph. He was probably early 60's. As I turned right on 900 East he yelled out to me and said "Let me take a turn," Heck why not, some one wants to block the wind for me. Can do. As he pulled past he said "You are dragging that big back pack, I can help" (When I ride to work on Mondays, I take all my work clothes, computer, lunch, etc... My bag weighs about 25 lbs) Bill pulled in front and proceeded at about 14mph. He was working hard and I thought what he did was cool. As I turned down my street to work, I said thanks he reached out and shook my hand like we had just finished a Tour stage. When I grow up I want to be that guy. It was pretty cool.skinnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17960108165541594264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573594986389747545.post-57766335355535963372010-07-24T15:15:00.000-07:002010-07-25T16:31:08.748-07:0007/24/2010 Happy Pioneer Day! in Salt Lake City, UTDate: July 24, 2010<br />Distance: 101<br />July Distance: 831<br />Partner: Robert Backman Marsh<br /><br /><a href="http://beta.mapmyride.com/route/detail/20328910/">MapMyRide - 07/24/2010 Happy Pioneer Day! in Salt Lake City, UT</a><br /><br />I kind of had a feeling this was going to be a great ride and a great blog post. We will see if I can do both of them justice. So I was behind 30 miles on the quota and needed to pull a century, no problem, throw in a couple of Cat 2 climbs, a marathon, parade, hot and cold and of course some clowns a bagpipe band and you have yourself a good day. I am not making this up.<br /><br />The day started at 5:30am, Rob Marsh knocking on my door (there is a song in there somewhere). We head for our favorite warm-up, Emigration Canyon knowing that the marathon will be coming down hoping to check out the action. Didn't quite make it to the top before we saw the leaders. There were 3 Kenyans, oh, about 25 minutes in front of the rest at mile 10. My thought "Run faster people of Utah!" When we got to the elbow, we started to see the rest of the field and had a great time cheering people on as we were going up and they were going down. I think the runners thought it was cool also. At 9 miles into a marathon, most runners are still pretty happy. Made it to the summit to see most of the runners and the sunrise. Very cool combination. Here is a photo:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0h31t2C4taNgpDnYhimVsq-81i4u5cBryKHBNMzGylZBUqpocn1_ArIImuXZviR-JNS9KtfJQ-DBaZ9tn50VOKWCkS-tEX5Lb2kFJxqypspLgVjnpAARQMkVTY7ulcOE9P2XOwm16l7MU/s1600/IMG_0213.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0h31t2C4taNgpDnYhimVsq-81i4u5cBryKHBNMzGylZBUqpocn1_ArIImuXZviR-JNS9KtfJQ-DBaZ9tn50VOKWCkS-tEX5Lb2kFJxqypspLgVjnpAARQMkVTY7ulcOE9P2XOwm16l7MU/s400/IMG_0213.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497977627269399282" border="0" /></a>We cheered for lots of folk and I planned a couple of photos on the way down.<br /><br />Dude running in a kilt.

I took the day off work in observance of Pioneer Day. Seriously, I love Utah. Really, what the day turned into was, "do every chore that you have neglected for the past 4 weeks because you are either on your bike or at work or its Wednesday Day. Mowed the lawn (first time since Summer Solstice in the back, Melissa mowed it once in the front. First time in our marriage). Taught Jonas and Robbie to wash cars (and they thought they were playing video games after swimming). This is a good deal. Got the Audi, Suburban and VW clean.

Simple answer. July 1st.<br /><br />Anyway after a long day of work, kids wanted to go to the pool, sure, I'll meet you there. Head out about 7pm, get a text that a kid at TC has hit head on diving board, off to the Marshes. Swim. The best part of the day, we are leaving at the same time, I say "I'll race you home" Kids think this is an easy win. I beat em, fair and square. Sometimes the breakaway stays away. And yes, I gave the two arm overhead salute as I finished. The kids were amazed..... occasional power of dad.skinnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17960108165541594264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573594986389747545.post-39029855866554474742010-07-22T14:25:00.000-07:002010-07-25T14:48:18.707-07:0007/22/2010 Capitol Loop in Salt Lake City, UTDate: July 22, 2010<br />Distance: 22<br />July Distance: 706<br /><br /><a href="http://beta.mapmyride.com/route/detail/20358262/">MapMyRide - 07/22/2010 Capitol Loop in Salt Lake City, UT</a><br /><br />Clearly the answer to get me out the door in the morning is to have the day and night packed full. Today is the promise of boating in the evening. I don't want to be the guy that says "Hey kids, no fun family time on the boat today, Dad has to go ride his bike." <br /><br />Out the door, Need to be done in and hour and 15, bout 24 miles, so I shoot off for the capitol. Always a fun ride. Love the view from 11th Ave, downtown, 2nd Ave, U, home. I remember back in my pre LOTOJA life when this was a challenging ride. Now it is a easy ride day. I love getting better at stuff.<br /><br />The reward for a morning ride is boating. Getting the legs in the cool water actually feels really good.<br /><br />Samantha is now up and skiing unassisted. Awesome. Notice the glassy water. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRKU2Tt73JadoGTz_FPjvXTILLGllLMkqolMfZeKfSPkfRibtv6Ojf3flD74VaHRWBD4SEWHabg7hTXKScME6q5U3XuMaAJ3jRapuDDltVxa-4DaXqxh9ji5CViN6xGXcR-Ycmq7Y8kMS4/s1600/DSCN1923.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRKU2Tt73JadoGTz_FPjvXTILLGllLMkqolMfZeKfSPkfRibtv6Ojf3flD74VaHRWBD4SEWHabg7hTXKScME6q5U3XuMaAJ3jRapuDDltVxa-4DaXqxh9ji5CViN6xGXcR-Ycmq7Y8kMS4/s400/DSCN1923.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497962123884570466" /></a><br /><br />Food and "chillin" are a big part of our boat life.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRHLiZzu7ltRYZDIhSDmQ_onX8yw1BdwWvd2HVgSCFPam42esj72CY4X9XCXo3fNTQu2lLYLA_X4kyZ7HS7z4BK5ZkUmgxHC9-VBWJtWvivF7vO98Co9i_1iu91-l7gwHC3QHzT2zsQFKt/s1600/DSCN1928.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRHLiZzu7ltRYZDIhSDmQ_onX8yw1BdwWvd2HVgSCFPam42esj72CY4X9XCXo3fNTQu2lLYLA_X4kyZ7HS7z4BK5ZkUmgxHC9-VBWJtWvivF7vO98Co9i_1iu91-l7gwHC3QHzT2zsQFKt/s400/DSCN1928.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497962149693126994" /></a><br /><br />Amelia enjoying a pull on the tube.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthowMb-VF_WCY-GZ_o1dPVCESzAKQMGIDDcy5qI-2zFlwkPoZUVvw9tn5AuwDOXtk-60iRwxsBc3zw7dS8cjCKD-f5JmxA5W4idLVfL7L3kgKmBsxaJpx-3JOFOO7ig6PCywCfDENn3Kr/s1600/DSCN1930.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthowMb-VF_WCY-GZ_o1dPVCESzAKQMGIDDcy5qI-2zFlwkPoZUVvw9tn5AuwDOXtk-60iRwxsBc3zw7dS8cjCKD-f5JmxA5W4idLVfL7L3kgKmBsxaJpx-3JOFOO7ig6PCywCfDENn3Kr/s400/DSCN1930.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497962137273413298" /></a><br /><br />Notice on this picture the failure of another goal from the beginning of the summer. I was going to try for the "no farmer tan, line tan in 2010" Decided this is impossible while riding a bike. My arms, just to my wrists and my knees only are very tan. Other wise, white.
