i think bob is going to beat me, yikes!

i went out today for the first time since AR and pulled my tire for an hour and a half. i was at my friends shawna's and was able to run on some well groomed bridle trails. i was feeling pretty confident in my pulling ability but knew that bob was catching up to me. i have yet to pull for three hours straight.

as i merrily rolled along with my tire in tow, i had to cross over at one point to the sidewalk. what the heck..... i thought that pulling the tire on the sidewalk would be a piece of cake. i was wrong.

pulling the tire on the trail vs. the cement

on the trail the tire seems to glide and once you get going, it becomes hardly noticeable. hills are involved though.

on the sidewalk however, i was met with much more resistance and found that the tire just dragged behind me making it more difficult.

and so bob, i think you will be beating me at camp. i would watch out for george however, i heard that he was graduating up to a bigger tire.

AI prediction: jordin and blake will be the two at the finale. i am thinking that lakisha may be going home. and i am not even going to go into the red bandanna.

haha... ya the cement ate my Tire up pretty fast :-) I did feel some good pain next day after that 3 hours on my right calve & Achilles so been chilling on the tire for a bit but getting another one today to pull tomorrow ...hmmm maybe a downgrade to a 10 speed bicycle tire:-)

Maybe we will just team up on George!! and do a tire relay-lol
