Last weekend my brother and I competed as team "GO JAMIE!!" in the new 2 man 8 hour category at Hurkey Creek near Idyllwild, CA.

Hello Everyone,

Last weekend, I think, a group of us got the adventurous bug to go to a climbing gym. I hadn't done it in years, so I didn't know how quickly I would get my climbing legs back. Well, after instructions of how to ties the road into our harness, very important, and how to spot or belay our partner while he is climbing, even more important, we got started. After one climb we all warmed up to it. It was very fun and not to expense, only $15, for as long as we wanted to climb. As a side note that $15 is the same cost for one class of yoga.

It got nice and hot last weekend here in San Diego! It was 90+ at my place and 80's at the beach. It felt like mid summer! It reminded me of some fun high school summers that involved getting up super early and going surfing, coming home and eating a bunch, then going on a bike ride for a few hours or something, then eating more, then going and  skateboarding at night or going swimming somewhere - basically just not stop exercise and food and good sleep!

Welp, I did it. I went to bed at 1am last night, then got up at 6 and rode the ~ 23 miles in to work. It was a nice morning, not too cold. There's a big hill that I have to go down right when I start the ride and sometimes it gets pretty chilly. Not this morning, though. My legs felt like jello when I got to work like I thought they would. I haven't been riding much at all lately but I surprised myself on the ride home back up the big hill. I did pretty well.
