Our First Team Meeting

Our first team meeting
Ragnar Wasatch in Utah
Planning starts with beer

Picked our hellish routes
Excited for hill training
Team Drunk In Utah

Tough Mudder (Seattle 2012)

I started out strong
Body flew over the wall
Adrenaline push

Split my pants in half
Teammate did quick stitching job
Ass still in the wind

Couldn’t do it all
Trained hard but not hard enough
Body beaten blue

Friends kept me going
Team was an inspiration
GeekWire Mudders

Bucket list shorter
Conquered Seattle Mudder
Vancouver is next

Time to say goodbye

Emergency room
Where will Tough Mudder take me
The cemetery

I paid to do this
Electroshock therapy
Time to say goodbye

Ain’t it peculiar?

I didn’t notice the similarity until 3-time Ragnar teammate Frederic de Vedrines emailed this haiku. The shirt is more similar to the front door color than it appears in this photo.

Ragnar shirt this year
is Honey Bucket color
ain’t it peculiar?

Stupid sprained ankle

From one of my favorite but often injured Ragnar teammates, Alex Hristov, also a proud Canadian.

Stupid sprained ankle,
Too bad: needed for running
But not for drinking

I am Ragnar bound

Up before the sun
Cowbell and handerpants packed
I am Ragnar bound
