...about me...
My favourite persuits:
- I'm a techie. I love new technology. Whether its new computer hardware and electronics or the latest innovations in outdoor gear.
- Mountain Biking. Has quickly became my #1 past time. I picked it up a couple of seasons ago, and have done it regularly (almost every day) since. I spoiled myself with a good bike this year and all the outfitting I need for free riding, winter riding and night riding. Currently mostly do technical XC, but am eager to get into free riding.
- Hiking. Tihis is only behind mountain biking because its much more convenient to mountain bike every day than it is to hike every day. I'm into nice long challenging hikes...but I enjoy short relaxed ones too.
- Trail running. I do this on days I don't mountain bike. Particularly when I'm busy with other things since it takes much less time to get the roughly equivalent workout a mountain bike would provide...though not quite the same. I also tend to increase my trail running before a hike as I find it very effective in preparing the body.
- Indoor climbing. Can only do very basic moves so far...just picked this up last season. I hope to grow to outdoor climbing in the near future.
- Adventure racing. I have entered and completed one race so far. Definitely will enter some races next season.
- White water kayaking. Very amateur here as there isn't any decent water nearby. I love the sport but unless you have an opportunity to do it at least a few times a week consistently, you can't really get good at it. I can roll very well, but thats the extent of my skills here =D
I'll write all about this stuff in my blog!
