racing bikes: May 2010
http://kendimarion.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 8, 2010. Nationals Road Race Report. The stats: 26 starters. 6 Whitman women. Whitman women make up 23% of the field. The story: Bizzos were literally peeing their pants when they saw us line up together. With our snazzy new clear rain jackets (totally PRO) and our mouths foaming with the alkaseltzer tablets we ate moments before, at least 4 women dropped out at our very sight. I'm totally kidding about 2/3 of that last statement, you decide which two. Second to last climb. The Class of 2014.

racing bikes: The AVCs+FSA
http://kendimarion.blogspot.com/2009/07/avcsfsa.html
Monday, July 27, 2009. 1 San Jose: I'm in the Bay, Trick. 2 Portland: Let me see your hips swing. This time, apologizing profusely to Maggie before leaving her in Seattle, we packed up our new travel companion Suzie. Suzie is big and beautiful, too, but she has air conditioning and keeps a constant speed on an incline. Sadly Suzie has no loyalty to us, so it took us about 10 minutes to start her every time we took the key out. 3 Seattle: She's a whooty. Home track. Home track? It was so cool! FSA Grand P...

racing bikes: Tulsa Tough
http://kendimarion.blogspot.com/2010/06/tulsa-tough.html
Saturday, June 5, 2010. Many things have changed in the past three weeks (graduation, moving, sad goodbyes) but I am finally on the racing track again down in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After Nationals I took some time off to rest up for the long season of (mostly) track but also road. Because of this time off, Tulsa is hard. Very hard. There are some specific things I could have done to prepare more for this race:. 1 Take less time off. 3 Intervals in the sauna. But, so what, the race is hard? Today is a new day ...

No Hurry, No Worry: June 2011

No Hurry, No Worry. My Experiences in Mali as a Fulbright Student. Sunday, June 26, 2011. The Winds of Change. Rain last week at my apartment. The wind was a relief on a night when my A/C unit didn’t seem to want to blow cool air, but it made for unsuccessful blogging. I didn’t get much past the title of this post before my electricity flickered and then everything went black. It was really coming down! The winds have really been picking up in Bamako and with them, come the rains! I actually started this...

No Hurry, No Worry: 'Tis the Season?
http://alysinmali.blogspot.com/2010/11/tis-season.html
No Hurry, No Worry. My Experiences in Mali as a Fulbright Student. Monday, November 29, 2010. This morning, I started listening to Christmas music. It’s not December 1. My holiday season began two weeks ago with the celebration of the Muslim holiday, Tabaski. Http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabaski. For weeks leading up to the “fete,” it was all anyone talked about. If you took a taxi and asked the driver, “Ca va? 8221; (Only a little ok? Oumou and me dressed in our holiday finest. Finally, at around 5:30, ...

No Hurry, No Worry: Mali on the Move...
http://alysinmali.blogspot.com/2011/11/mali-on-move.html
No Hurry, No Worry. My Experiences in Mali as a Fulbright Student. Thursday, November 24, 2011. Mali on the Move. A quick aside to just say that travel capabilities these days are pretty crazy! The fact that this is possible… or that I can go from Mali to France to Greencastle in a matter of hours is pretty insane. While the physical change in location is quick and easy, it’s the mental change of place that is a little harder…. Dogon masks and art at Musee du Quai Branly. As well as some interesting stuf...

No Hurry, No Worry. My Experiences in Mali as a Fulbright Student. Wednesday, August 11, 2010. A First Time for Everything. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself! Right now I am hanging out at home and working at Chief’s (a BBQ type restaurant that is a 10 minute walk from my house). I have made a couple of short trips this summer (to DC and Chicago…. And soon to Louisville and Denver! And now—what all of you can do to help me! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This blog is my way of communicating with famil...

No Hurry, No Worry: Running Through Ramadan

No Hurry, No Worry. My Experiences in Mali as a Fulbright Student. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. This evening around 6pm, after a day of apartment hunting with a friend, working on my computer on an NGO project, and catching up with phone calls after the weekend, I psych myself up and set out to run. I pass by my guardian and his family sitting on their patio downstairs. 8220;I ni ce,”. 8220;K’an ben sooni.”. I’ll be back soon! The newly paved road where I start my runs. I can’t complain, because I lov...
