Back to work

Been working a bit. Was up at the Santa Ynez Valley National where it was 102 degrees in the shade. 102!!! So being outside for 8-10 hour days for 4 days gets a bit tiresome, actually a lot. I would get home shower and change and then pass out till it was time to wake up.

I drove across the mojave desert during all this heat. i was really happy that the truck did not break down. It was 116 according to the thermometer on the truck. I tried to find an egg to see if it would cook on the pavement, Unfortunately chickens are hard to come across in the desert so i had to search for a place to buy eggs with no luck either.

after this i was albuquerque for 2 days. Went out with one of our racers and her husband, Nina, and Jeremy. Then i had to motor on to Angel Fire, NM for the Mountain States cup Chili Challenge.

Weather here was a factor the first few days, extremely windy and a mixture of snow, and rain. I much preferred the snow. So conditions were constantly changing. By the end of the weekend it was almost dry, The sun was out for the last 2 days of racing (sunday and monday). During my time here it was amazing, the cell phone only worked the first 2 days then when everyone was there the cell service went down, too many cell phones it seems. also there was a distinct lack of the internet.

Which brings me up to now, Im hanging out in colorado, Ive got the Teva mountain Games next week.
