Starting to get into Racing Season

The family at Chester Lake

Well, things are stating to get busy again as both Tasha and I get ready for up coming races. I know we have both done Diablo so the season has started but there are lots more coming like the Blackfoot 100k that Tasha is ding in about a week and a half and I have the Crazy Soles Trail Marathon on May 31st.
I am looking forward to crewing for Tasha at Blackfoot at I was a racer last year so this year I get to see the other side of things. It will be Tasha's first 100k and longest running race for her, but I know she will do great. It is always good to see a race from both sides, give you a new respect for all the people that organize and volunteer at these events. I am just hoping the weather will be as nice as last year.
The Crazy Soles marathon should be a great time. I have never really ran in that area before so I am really looking forward to seeing a new place, plus I can have a soak in the hot springs that are close by afterwards. My son Kael will be running his first race there which is a 3km kids fun run. Tasha might end up having to carry him a little bit but it will be fun for him no matter what.
