2006 Dousman Duathlon

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

Most of you know that I have bum knees. The left one in particular causes me the most trouble. It flared up badly following the Holy Cow 5K, so I’ve spent the entire week leading into the YMCA Pabst Farms Dousman Duathlon icing, babying the crap out of it, and popping Ibuprofens.

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

I took the day off to spend with my family and we took a short drive down Hwy 19 to the Trek headquarters for a tour of their facilities. I’ve lived less than 30 minutes away for the last 6 years, and I’m ashamed to admit that this is my first visit.
