• An 18th Century Evening

    No, we didn’t go reenacting. Last night, Heather and I embarked on a bit of an experiment.

  • Race Recap: Taneytown CX

    Twelfth (that’s a really weird word to type)! I can’t seem to escape it. Two 12s in a row preceded by a 13. My points dropped from 395 last race to 393 this one so I suppose I did do about .5% better. I totally wasn’t into this race. I signed up without looking where Taneytown
