Salsa Two-Four
This weekend I am riding in the Salsa Two-Four race. It's a mountain bike race at Afton Alps where you see how many laps you can ride in 24 hours. Yes, I am riding it solo, but no I am not one of those crazies who literally ride their bike for 24 hours straight. I'll be taking a lot of breaks and even sleeping for a lot of the night. I only have enough battery to get two night laps in.
If you're in the area come out and watch, I'll have a follow up post on how it all went.
Hoping for good weather...
Fantasy Football Draft Day for VFL league
I had my first fantasy football draft last night. I ended up with the 3rd pick. I thought it went pretty good and I am happy with who I ended up with. I used the Fantasy Guru Draft Analyzer software this year. I thought it worked great, beat writing down everyones picks and crossing them off my cheatsheats through the draft. This made it a lot easier to manage and helped me with my picks.
Here is how I ended up with in order of draft:
Maurice Jones-Drew (RB)
Calvin Johnson (WR)
Tom Brady (QB)
Jamaal Charles (RB)
Steven Smith NYG (WR)
Mike Sims-Walkder (WR)
Marion Barber (RB)
Garrett Hartley (K)
Joe Flacco (QB)
New York Jets (D)
Steve Slaton (RB)
Chester Taylor (RB)
Lee Evans (WR)
Devin Hester (WR)

What do you think of BP?
Just a list of things on the net about the BP spill. I'll add to this as I run into more.

Apple Duathlon Results
I did the Apple Duathlon this morning. I wasn't expecting to do great, finished right where I thought I would. 2hours 15minutes and 56seconds.
It was pretty tough. For those of you who don't know it is a 5k run, 33k bike and another 5k run.
The first run went well, ~26mins. I followed that with a 1hour and 10min bike ride which is also decent. However, after getting off the bike and running up the big hill I cramped up hard. I had to stop and stretch my hamstring. I actually thought there was no way I was going to be able to finish. Luckily the stretching worked and I was able to finish at a very slow pace, 36min run.
I am glad I did it and hope to do it next year mixed in with some more training.

Earth Day Run 2010
I finished in 2:07:49. I didn't push myself this year and amazingly I wasn't really sore at all afterwards. It was kind of nice.
Next up is the Apple Duathlon.
