My mom and dad used to call me “Squirrel”. I used some of my squirrel skills during this epic training weekend. See if you can spot them. #teamorca #guforit #saltyssquad #orangemud

Recently miss a goal you wanted to achieve? How do you deal with it? Hear how I dealt with missing my goal at XTERRA Oak Mountain. Sometimes you just have to step back, clear your mind, reset… then get back to work.

Well, this took a lot longer to get out that I wanted. I had most of it recorded, except for a camera whose batteries died in the middle of the shoot. I re-shot what was needed, but then THAT camera was stolen. Arrrgh!
Anyhow, I pieced together clips from the first take and re-shot some last night to complete the video that lots of folks are asking me to publish. Soooooo here it is. Hopefully it doesn’t seem too janky since it’s bits and pieces. Would love your feedback!!

Dan came up with this wild idea of how to get in a bunch of mileage in one weekend. I was suckered into it… 50 miles in 48 hours…

I’ve gotten a ton of questions asking, “What is this crazy sport you’ve been doing lately?!?!” Well, it’s easier to show you a few video clips to help explain. One thing is for sure, if you like adventure, a challenge, and have the desire for something tough, then you’ll probably be hooked after giving one of these a try.

As I read this blog post from Jordan Winar, I have such a wide mix of emotions. Happiness that Jordan thinks highly enough of me to write this, humbleness that I don’t feel like I am worthy of it, and elation that I made the decision to change back then. I fought back tears reading the intro where Jordan put into words what I was feeling back then, something, that for some reason, has been hard for me to explain. Thank you, my friend, for the reminder to stay vigilant in my quest. Read the article.
