Me and My Rex


I'm not huge on the whole "take pictures of yourself" thing - but my lack of friends in Utah who mountain bike and run leave me no choice. I wanted to post some pictures of me representing my BU triathlon team pride in my jersey and my new love, Rex the mountain bike. Yes I do indeed mountain bike in a full triathlon kit - trust me it's been commented on before by my dad friends (I use the term "friends" loosely here) from the local bike club.

The conversation went a bit like this:

Dad - So were you on a cycling team back east?
Me - No, but I was on a triathlon team and we did group rides
Dad - Yeah....I noticed the no sleeve jersey.

Well excuuuuse me. First of all, it's a kit. Not a jersey. Second of all....Question: However do you manage to ride that $6,000 carbon aero-frame bike with that giant stick wedged up your ass? I had no idea I that someone would ever judge me purely based up on my apparel of choice. Alright fine, I'll admit that I looked silly back in the day when I was a nube and showed up to a ride in a t-shirt. Judge away. BUT AT LEAST THIS WAS SPANDEX. It wasn't what he said, it was how he said it. And his general attitude towards me after it. I think maybe he's a little put off that I do 2 more sports than him, and was able to keep up for most of the ride. Oh, and I'm a girl. Don't worry, I got him back by sticking my tongue out at him later. TAKE THAT.

Me and Rex (Do me a favor and ignore the trainwreck of a purple couch behind me. I refuse to touch it.)

The most comfortable bike shoes I've ever worn: Pearl Zumi Nylon Mtb Race

Proudly repping my BU Tri Kit - I dont think my arms are long enough to take a good picture of it

Snowbasin 2/9/2013

FINALLY found a badass chica to hit the slopes with! YEAH! Yesterday the visibility was about 0 but it was a solid day at Snowbasin. I took my GoPro along with me and then edited it into a video that looks semi-interesting. That's Kate on the snowboard, the camera is attached to my head so you get a solid look at the fog and me falling a few times. Skiing/Snowboarding Movie

Weekend

As promised, here's a blog about my weekend - I know you've been sitting on the edge of your rolly computer chair waiting for it with bated breath. Friday after my guitar class, which went not-so-fabulously, as per usual, Chris and I had a little adventure to Harpoon Brewery where we met up with my ever beloved (and apparently much talked about) bff Dave. It took us a little adventuring and a little guessing to get there but we made it there and home with lots of "I have a hunch this is the way to go"-ing. It convinced me fully that we'd be great on a European back-packing trip together. We don't fight, we don't argue, we don't get frustrated, we just laugh and follow our gut. Which led us to beer! Isn't that what Germany is all about?  Anyway, Harpoon was awesome. You just go, hear about beer, and drink all you want. I picked up a growler of the cider - highly recommended. We literally guessed what bus to get on to get home and turns out it led...
