Geocaching
Well, I started Geocaching today. I've been putting it off for over a year, but now I'm ready.
I picked up two on the way home from work today. It was a start. We'll see how it picks up soon.
I'm going to start local and work my way out from there.
Is anyone else into Geocaching?
Phillies’ Unassisted Triple Play
I thought it was cool. Eric Bruntlett of the Philadelphia Phillies ended the game with an unassisted triple play.
The second play in MLB history to get the final three outs on his own.
Runner on 1st and 2nd. Line drive. Caught ball, tagged second base, and tagged runner from 1st base.
Thought is was neat. See it on YouTube.
Illustrated Baseball Pitches
Found a good article that helps illustrated the different pitches used in baseball.
Mountain Bike
I thought that since I posted a link to my road bike, that it would be unfair to my mountain bike to not get a link 
I ride a Trek 4500 Mountain bike.
I've only been in one race with it so far... I went up to the Fat Tire Festival in Eureka Springs, Arkansas and rode the XC-Cross Country "Race to the Lake" on July 16th, 2005.
I was in the Beginner Senior Men (19-29) class. I rode 11.2 miles in 1hr 22mins at a average of 7.9mph. Maxed at 29.5mph.
This being my first race, I was very happy. My goal was to not finish last, and to average over 6mph.
Hotter-N-Hell 100
This last weekend I went with a group of guys from El Dorado Cycling (Edit: previously The Bicycle Shop) in El Dorado, Arkansas to the Hotter-N-Hell 100. We left Friday morning and drove 8 hours to Witchita Falls, Texas.
The Hotter-N-Hell 100 is a Road Bicycle ride through the outskirts of Witchita Falls, Texas... while in over 100 degree heat and over 100 miles.
We started riding Saturday morning around 7:00am. Over 9500 cyclists rode through the starting gate. My number was 9590. I found a position in the middle of the pack... and got a good start.
I finished in 5 hrs and 33 mins and averaged 18.8mph. This is better than I had anticipated... since this was my first road bike event and my first ride over 12 miles on my new Trek 1200, and my first time to ride farther that 60 miles in one sitting.
I'll post some pictures soon.
