100% stupid trying to come up with precentages


I'm having a productive evening.  I've managed to get a bunch of things typed up and out the door, or more like onto the interweb.  Figured I might as well keep it going and get a new post out too.  I enjoy writing these much more because they are anything but formal.  I can use crappy English and use words like "boring" if I really want to.  Unfortunately, my mommy who is an English teacher, reads this blog.  She likes to let me know when my writing sucks and when my posts are boring.  I really do try hard with our club website and "press releases".  I make an attempt proof read those articles and go over them once before publishing them.  Same goes when I'm trying to put together some sort or proposal, request, or form.  No squiggly red or green lines and were set!!



Hunt, Huff, Friesen, Brockerville, Wilkie, Forester, Gant, Pawluk
A bunch of us were in Whistler last weekend for the Whistler 50 relay.  Road relays are pretty awesome and I wish they had more of them.  They remind me of university cross country days.  Something about the team dynamic that you simply don't get in regular races, even if you have a dozen other team mates on the line.  We dominated the race too winning all 8 stages.  Fancy new Timex watches for all.  None of us ran particularly fast, but there was no pressure to do so.  We won by about 20 minutes and somehow missed our record from last year by 2 seconds.  Now the challenge is to find another road relay, hopefully with some competition and hopefully somewhere closer then Japan.  Were eying one down in the States, but missed the registration and its now sold out.  Hence the formal proposal free of grammatical and spelling errors that I was working on earlier tonight.  If anyone out there knows of any solid relays let me know!!  Or better yet, anyone who thinks they have a team that can challenge us, come out to Whistler next year and race us!

BC Cross Country Championships are tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to it and its bringing back some old memories.  The race will be in Abbotsford and it will have been 10 years since my last race on this course which was BC High School Cross Country Champs in 2002.  That year I won, beating Chris Winter and Geoff Martinson.  Best part about tomorrow?  I'll be racing against Chris Winter and Geoff Martinson.  Those guys are pretty darn legit.  I'll have my work cut out for me.  Both these guys are pretty fit right now too.  Hell with it, I'm pretty fit right now as well.  It'll be a good race.  I'll put some sort of race recap up if it turns into an epic battle.
