Big Blue Tahoe

This year's big race for me was Tahoe Big Blue. With Shooting Star Adventures having shut down, Big Blue adventures in now pretty much the only game in town in the Silicon Valley area. I was racing solo, but my good friends the PowerStrangers were racing as well, so at least I had some folks out on the course who may stop to throw me some food if they saw me curled up in a ball on the side of the course.

Jen and I headed out to Tahoe on Thursday night, hoping to avoid the Friday traffic. Believing in the power of Google Maps, we followed it's instructions right into downtown San Francisco at 1700, basically forcing us into gridlock traffic. After spending 2 wonderful hours getting from Google to Oakland, we were on our way. We were staying up at the Hearst cabin (thanks Dave + Nancy!) which was great because it allowed us to bring Taita, and to be sure we had some place for Keira to play.

40th Anniversary

Now here is a family that knows how to celebrate!

Big Foot Sighting at the cabin?

Waiting for the "probably just saw you out jogging Dave" jokes...bring 'em on. I'm ready.

Why do you want to work at Google?

The food.

Happy Birthday Shannon!

Big Blue Tahoe

So I signed up for my adventure race for the year: Tahoe Big Blue. Originally I thought I was going to be racing with Ginny as a duo, and then with Ginny and Peter as a trio, but now Ginny, Peter, Devin and Jack appear to be doing it as a foursome, leaving me as a lone solo. sigh....

Oh well, they'll need the practice as a team for PrimalQuest 2008 which they are signed up for...since this will be Peter, Jack and Devin's first adventure race ever, it should be....uhhh...interesting.

Now I just need to find a kayak, and a place to stay in Tahoe for the weekend of the 22nd.
