2010 Silicon Valley International Triathlon (SVIT) Race Report
My second Olympic-length triathlon of the season was the Silicon Valley International Triathlon held at San Jose's Lake Almaden. Teammate Bingels and I did the Olympic-length tri on Sunday after his wife Jingels did her first sprint triathlon the day before. I had an okay swim, fast bike, and started the run with stomach cramps. I ended up finishing 11 minutes shy of my 2:30 goal. Bummer dude.
Next triathlon: Silicon Valley International Triathlon

A month before the race I tore my soleus and a week before the race I came down with a pretty nasty head cold. All my preparation was going down the tubes! I pulled it together though and had an awesome race on the Olympic course at the 2010 Avia Wildflower Triathlon!

Doing it wrong: hunting wild pigs at the Geysers
I guess I have the pig hunting sickness. What started as a fun hobby almost killed me and two friends this past weekend. What sucks is that I'm not deterred. If anything I am more determined to stalk and kill a wild pig on public land.
Hunting wild pigs on public land: East Cow Mountain
I'm determined to stalk and kill a wild pig on public land. Judging by the pig tag return data, I'm probably not going to be successful. Too bad I'm stubborn.
Wild pig recipes: Spicy Boar Chili, Wild Pig Meatloaf, Boaring Lasagna, and Honey-mustard Smoked Ham
A colleague and good friend from work, Jeff Meyer, made me a bet that I wouldn't actually find and kill a pig. The terms of the bet were that he would cook the pig and provide the beer for everyone at Centellax to enjoy. I'm not sure what I was supposed to do if I didn't get a pig, but, well, it didn't matter, did it?
1/2 done! My sixth quarter at UC Davis' Bay Area Working Professional MBA Program
Halfway there. A year and a half down, a year and a half to go. How do I feel about it? Mixed emotions.
Business school is challenging, and attending part-time while working full-time is even tougher. Don't get me wrong, each assignment is reasonable and the tests and exams aren't too difficult, it's the cumulative effect of case studies and textbooks and textpacks and optional (read: not optional) readings and group projects and homework and tests and quizzes and exams.
