2012 Oyster Shell Triathlon
Memorial Day Weekend after sailing the Down The Bay Race on Sunday morning I watched and took some video of the Oyster Shell Triathlon. Last year I did the race with a GoPro camera on my head. So after combining the footage from both years, here’s the video:

Running the 2012 Monument Ave 10k
After standing on the sidelines for 3 years cheering on friends and family I finally joined the 30,000 people who signed up and ran the Monument Avenue 10k. Here’s my time and some pictures of running in the rain.
Here I am running the 2012 Ukrops Monument Avenue 10k Presented by Martins.
2011 Kickball
We’re 4 weeks into the Kickball season. I didn’t want to play because I was nursing a sprained wrist so I sat out and took pictures. It was my first time taking action shots with the new camera and I think I got a few good ones. We may not win many games, but we have fun anyway.
2011 Oyster Shell Triathlon
On Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend I participated in my first Oyster Shell Triathlon. It’s an event that started about 4-5 years ago among a group of friends looking for something to do on Memorial Day Weekend and so they started this race. There were just under 30 participants this year and there have been as many as 40 in the past.
The course is a little nontraditional – it starts with swim which turns into a slog – a combination of running in water and swimming. Then a 2-mile bike ride followed by a swim back to the starting point. The final stretch is a ~1 mile run around the Deltaville Maritime Museum and back to the finish.
No times are kept and it’s all for good fun. Considering I signed up for it about 10pm at a party the night before, I felt pretty good about finishing mid-pack. It was a ton of fun and I look forward to doing it again next year.
At some point I’ll post some video [update: video here]. In the mean time, here are some pictures of the Oyster Shell Triathlon.

2011 Dodgeball
Tonight was the opening game of the 2011 River City Sport and Social Club Dodgeball Season. The Sloppy Chops might have started out with a loss tonight, but we still had a fun time.
Not how to do it
At a recent softball game I was caught on camera spectacularly missing a catch in the outfield. Better luck next time.
More photos from this game are here.
Ski Trip
All this snow we’ve gotten this winter made for some great skiing conditions on the last weekend in February.
