PM sent with @axcxnj ... I think... if I did it right

Communication is key with using one though. The shorter the rope or bungee, the caboose is more restricted and the more you need to act in unison. The more space between, caboose has more freedom I guess but could be harder to easily hear one another. It actually takes some practice. You have to...

Something jumped out at me as I was scrolling through my Instagram today. Thanks for sharing all of the pics, stories, experiences, and recaps from Sea Otter. It's really cool (and inspiring!) to see a familiar face lining up among world's top pros! At a race like this, do you get pre-race...

Really sad news. He's left quite the legacy.

did someone say donuts?

Congrats again on baby #3!! This will be an excellent thread to follow, and I'm looking forward to it. I truly do not know how you do it all, kudos to you! Considering I look like the book cover gal in the matching sweat suit on a regular day, I just might fit right in here (@axcxnj and I...

It took me a long time to see this. Now THIS was funny. @gtluke @axcxnj KT this weekend! Nice, sunny and a balmy 30 overnight!

Just wanted to put out a friendly heads up to the mtb community that there will be a SwimRun event taking place tomorrow morning, August 20th, between Randolph Lake and Mine Hill Lake and on the nearby trails. You may see some event activity and wet runners out on trails and in this general...

Utah x 1,000, if you can believe that. Even the other team member JD was maybe Utah x 200. Tamela and JD shared a hotel room before and after, pretty sure they didn't actually sleep ever but rather just talked through the night and shared stories with one another :) amazing people. It does...

Any chance there is a strava thingy for cat 3 course?

Not to turn this recap into an Aaron and Aly show, but this had to have been one of the three toughest moments in the race on my side. Being part of race staff and also wanting best for you and team... from the outside looking in, and having the knowledge of how the race, certain legs, other...

The blue dots on those tracking maps is your team's location every 10 minutes sent by the satellite tracking device (same thing that provided the live "dot watching"), right?

I'm interested in pre-riding the course but really unfamiliar with how the mtn creek trails work. Does anyone know if the course will be marked and/or course map posted, and is it open to pre-ride outside of those scheduled pre-rides? If so, do you have to be out of there by 7pm, and are the...

That Swedish Armed Forces team was able to finish on 2 of their original bikes and then 2 borrowed bikes from racers who dropped and no longer needed theirs. They are the team that previously had the rear hub blow up issue at the beginning. Same thing happened to another team member this...

I should have good service now. It's been a rough night, few teams are dropping just can't push any longer and concerned about distance and making the cutoff and it's been really really cold tonight. This has been the most depleted I've seen all teams. Of course there are two long nasty climbs...
