HIGH ROCK CHALLENGE

This past Saturday Randy & I competed in the annual HIGH ROCK CHALLENGE, which is a 10k run thru the S.I. Greenbelt. Along the way - all kinds of "obstacles" are thrown at us, such as: scaling up a rock mountain, climbing over a cargo net, pulling ourselves up a rope hill on a dolly, shimming along a 2 ft high drainage with rushing water, all while running along a muddy terrain (and let me tell you as the day progressed, it got muddier!)

Here we are at the starting line (team # 37) w/o a clue what we were getting ourselves into:

a little over 2 1/2 hrs later we arrived at the finish line & were BEYOND EXHAUSTED...but were damn proud of ourselves that we finished the course!
...and a minute later my legs called it quits & sitting in the shade seemed like a better plan :) I found out a few hrs later that the organizer added AN EXTRA 1.3 MILES TO THE COURSE, just to make it a bit more challenging (thx matt!)
click on the video below to get a glimpse of what we went thru. It was A LOT of fun, but man-oh-man was it tough!

DMB - MSG opening night

Last nights show was a MUST ATTEND! Orig 04.14.09 was going to be the release of Dave Matthews's new album "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King", but that has been pushed off until June. In the meantime, the start of the 2009 tour began & Dave and the boys played, danced & sang their hearts out (and so did I). The energy was insane in the Garden ....I couldn't believe that every seat was taken - and I mean every single seat behind the stage!!!
