California March 2009 Way to Cool and Jtree Camp

A picture and brief story of my latest excursion. This was my 9th trip into California in the last 12 years and my 5th just to go to Joshua Tree National Monument.

It must be my favorite home away from home.

Nic keeping nutrition simple while we drive.

American races are just a little bigger show.

For a brief race description it was my fastest 50km so far in a time of 4:58.33 but I really didnt race a great race. Starting off a little fast paid its toll later on as did running out of water between aid stations because of a bad race plan. Lesson 1 and 2 learned and on to the next one.

JTree National Park an amazing playground and home base for us as we partook in a Level 1 coaching certification course over the first 3 days of our time in the park leaving us little extra time but we did still manage to get climbing and running over these days and once all was said and done with the course we got for some more climbing and adventuring run/hikes.

Like always a great trip with my travel companion. Love ya


What makes me tick

Short and sweet this first entry will be.

WHAT MAKES ME TICK

Its the sensation I get when I push my limits, I explore new realms, where my views of whats possible, get to expand.

The below pics will share some of the raw forms of where those sensations are currently being drawn from.
