Guard Drill and the 3 sisters


i got hosed going to kc and drilling it with the other racers this weekend do to guard drill, so i ended up doing a 2hour loop and hitting the 3 sisters in tulsa sunday. had alot of overcast and i thought i would make it without getting wet, but 10 min. into the ride the heavens opened up and drinched me for the rest of the ride. the power tap quit soon after so i didn't get any ride info besides time and rpe.


i had a military fit test before the ride. ran a 1.5 mile course in 9:33. Not bad for someone that runs once a year.


i rode with brad nelson who is a full time guardsman. he told me that he dosn't race and rides only ms rides and fundraisers, so i put on the heavy commute tread to make sure i got a good workout in. ya, well he held his own for the whole ride no problem. funny how i figured he would be a little slower just becaue he does centry rides, but he was realy strong.


after the sat/sunday drill i went down to camp gruber, just east of tulsa. makes me glad i am in the airguard. those army guys were sleeping in non a/c bunks with open shower/bathrooms. ya not me, so i hooked up with a nice a/c spot to sleep via brad nelson who lived 12miles away. heck ya!


i got back tuesday and drove up to buhler to ride with jay hawkins for a few hours and loosen up the legs from the run on sunday. man running sucks!
