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!
Ed Sheffield and I ran the 2010 Sonoma County Human Race, a 10k race through Howarth Park (aka Spring Lake), over to Summerfield, ending at Herbert Slater Middle School.

Our good friend Mari was recently married in a beautiful wedding at Nestldown in Los Gatos, CA.
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.
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.
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?
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.

After I decided I wanted to hunt wild pigs I was faced with a challenging question: how?
Hunting with a bow and arrow sounds cool, but I don't think I'm that hardcore. Crossbows are interesting but a little medieval for me. Dropping from a tree with a big knife sounds like a recipe for disaster. I guess there are other ways to do it, but I decided I needed a rifle.
