Thursday, June 18, 2009. I haven't posted in awhile because I have been traveling like a mad man. A quick catch up. Once I got back from Costa Rica, I had an opportunity. To go to Japan for a couple months and left the next day. After Japan, I used frequent flyer. Miles to visit Hong. I've decided to stop traveling and enjoy a summer at home.or at least 1 days drive around home. Hong. Kong Blew me away.never have I seen such a diverse place. No wonder English in the Business.

Mike's Adventures: December 2008
http://mikewaring.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2008. Thought I would post about a recent Ski Trip. Where is this winter you may ask.in my front yard! After shoveling the snow off the sidewalk for several days of snow fall, it piled up to my waist. This is at 200ft above sea level. Even got some downhill skiing off Salmonberry street the other day. Long walk up. Enjoy the photos and Merry Christmas. Note the snow level compared to my F250. Gives some perspective. A different view of my neighbors cars buried. This time last year...

Mike's Adventures: September 2013
http://mikewaring.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 15, 2013. Star Crossed Cyclocross Cat 4/5. The weather was super warm for Seattle Cyclocross, around 70 with higher than normal humidity. Walking from the parking lot, all you could see is a few riders and a cloud of dust rising up. This is the first corner 200 meters into the course. Imagine 240 people all taking this corner.it was a mess, but that is why it is called Cyclocross. At least it wasn't pouring rain and super slick. As I was 2 mins into lap 5 I heard the announcer say the l...

Mike's Adventures: July 2009
http://mikewaring.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 13, 2009. Costa Rica-Day 3 part 2. As we were hiking, this was part of the beautiful country we enjoyed. The further we went the mountains, trees, valleys and mountains were breathtaking. Below is a shot of our trail as we went further into the jungle. The roads got smaller, muddier, the bugs came out, the bugs and birds got louder and louder. As we were walking a Tucan fly by and into a tree. The shot below is from 100meters with a 300mm lens. Give it up for RAW format for croping. The vall...

Mike's Adventures: March 2009
http://mikewaring.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 28, 2009. Costa Rica Manuel Antonio Part 2. The adventure continues. I do believe this is the day the Montezuma oro Pendula began taunting me. This bird by the end of the trip became my photography adversary. Showing itself only long enough for me to scramble with a camera, only to fly away out of range or behind a branch. We hiked up to a vista and had a gorgeous panorama of the area. The beaches below are where La Playa de Puerto Escondido (Puerto Escondido beach) is located. A couple o...

Sunday, January 25, 2009. Gemini Bridges-Golden Spike-Poison Spider. Below is the last day of the Moab. Trip photos. Our 17.5 mile day grew to 33.5 when one member of the group got fed up of the hike-a-bike sections of the golden spike to portal trail and decided to go down into poison. Spider greatly increasing out day. This is a panorama photo. Note there are two pictures of me in this photo. Kind of weird. Here is the group going over the gemini. Bridges. Really cool arch. Tire that had to get a tube.

Mike's Adventures: Xterra Phillipines
http://mikewaring.blogspot.com/2012/04/xterra-phillipines.html
Sunday, April 15, 2012. Xterra Philippines-the Tour de France feeling in Xterra. Pre-Run: No way to find the race course here, it winds around villages. We had a kind phone call to wake us up at 0345 to remind us breakfast was at 0400 and the busses left at 0445. Super early morning, but with that heat, no problem. By the time I got back to transition I was over 2 hours a bit disappointed, but I hadn’t passed out (worried a few times), had survived running out of water, a few hill walks where I was...

Sunday, July 3, 2011. Ironman Coeur D'alene 2011. With a 4am wake up. Alarm, I got ready for the day, made some oatmeal and at the advice of my coach, chugged down an ensure. Man 4am is early. Getting to the race start, I ran into Scott Archibald from Multisport. After a brief chat, we got back to setting up the final bike stuff and prepping for a good start. Good to know there is at least one other MsM. Member out on the race today. 8217;t feel sore- infact. Swim: 2.4 miles, 2 lap course. Start, I didn.

Mike's Adventures: August 2011
http://mikewaring.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 8, 2011. At 7 pm the night before the race, I went to the local Rite Aid and picked up a digital thermometer. Luckily I didn't have a fever. I bet you can guess where this race report is going. I actually would pick these for a ride over my pair of SIDI Domidators for MTB riding. Can't wait to practice with these sockless. I made it a point to going through T2 as fast as possible. Boy did those new MTB TRI shoes make a difference. So easy to slip off and leave on the bike. I somehow manage...
