Let's see. Going up the pass gains about 3,400 feet and dropping down the other side to the turnaround point will make 10 miles. Retracing my steps back up and over the pass sounds like an awful 20 mile training day of misery.

Without A Rope
"Get ready," Neil announced in preparation of throwing the tow rope.
Suddenly, a flying snarl of snakes was in the air and landing on the rear deck of the boat where I grabbed the tangled mess to avoid it slipping back into the water. To my utter amazement, he was tailing the boat around the lake as if there was an invisible force keeping him at a precise distance.

Moustache Unplugged #30
....hehehe, he changed the password, but I hacked back... and undetected I will take the opportunity to work on a letter....
Dear Self-Important Mountain Biker,
You were decked out in full crash gear to include a helmet with a wrap around face guard, shin protectors, knee pads, and thick gloves. Apparently, your high speed goggles were either too tinted or fogged up to notice the rules of the trail since you were to yield to me as I trotted up the single track trail and we collided...

Spartan Beast in Breckendridge 2015
What am I doing here? Look at all these people!
Six-pack abs here, lean biceps there. Chiseled torsos, sculpted butts, sweeping quads with strong calves...and all covered in new, skin tight spandex or exposed in dainty race attire. And the dudes? Pretty much the same thing...muscles, tattoos and vividly colored name brand clothing. And, everyone was sporting the latest and greatest trail running shoes. I had no idea the Spartan Race series was followed by such a fitness crazed cult.

High-Heeled Sneakers
"What are you doing back?" asked my surgeon upon entering the examination room.
"Well, it's not because I missed you," I replied, thankful that Doc puts up with me.

Triple Crown Sweetness
"So, American Pharoah, it'd be awesome if you win the Triple Crown, but you probably won't."
"The Belmont eats horses and American Pharoah doesn't have it."
"History clearly shows that American Pharoah will be the next horse to almost win the Triple Crown."

The Beer Relay
"Seriously? A trail run relay that actually deducts time, like a reward, for drinking beer?" I wrinkled my brow. Obviously, I misunderstood something or my buddy was playing a cruel joke.
"Yup! True story. So do you want to do it?" Neil repeated and appeared totally serious.
"Heck ya!"
