This past weekend was the Mt. Taylor Quad. The Quad is a relay, team or individual event that includes 42 miles of racing from Grants, NM to the peak of Mt. Taylor (11,301 ft). 13 mile bike, 5 mile run, 2 mile cross-country ski, 1 mile snowshoe UP the mountain, then we turn around and race back down. I was the running leg of our relay team. I think we all felt it was a tough race since none of us really prepared for it...and the wind was gusting at over 30 mph... but we did earn 2nd place in our age group for a mixed team relay and 8th

overall (out of 36 total relay teams). Way to go team Contingent-C!

This picture is of the bike-run transition (Ryan - Me). Nice action shot!

The view of the peak from the bike-run transition.... it seems so far away.

In other news, earlier last week, while I was in Tucson for a work meeting, Dave was at home watching our utility company and maintenance men repair a frozen/busted water pipe in our front yard. UGH!
