Welcome! As you might notice I'm currently into bicycle racing and running but through the years I've engaged in a variety of activities (and I'm looking at getting back to some of them in the future).
Estacada TT #1, April 2009	In July 2005, I took the track class at the Group Health Velodrome in Marymoor Park in Redmond, WA and thought it was fun (but a bit hard). I soon joined the Seattle SuperSquadra Cycling Club (Team Zoka) for the 2006 season and began racing mostly time trials and track races - though I have done the ocassional criterium race. In 2008, Team Zoka became Team Cucina Fresca and what started as a year of change ended up being more of than just a team sponsor change as by mid year I moved from Washington to Oregon and switched to being a member of Team Oregon and have been competed in only time trial races since the move.
I'm not sure exactly when in 2006 I decided to sign up for the Seafair 5K but after doing it in 2006 and finishing it in just under 34 minutes, I ended up hooked (especially after seeing an ad in "Runners World" magazine for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend) and having to find other runs to do. Since that point I have finished five 5K races, one 12K race, and three Half Marathons (Seattle Half Marathon 2006 & 2007, Walt Disney World Half Marathon 2008). Since doing 5K and Half Marathon runs at Walt Disney World in January 2008, I haven't done any other running events (but there's always a possibility)...	Walt Disney World Half Marathon, January 2008
