Qucik Catch Up

Not much new in the life of the Kippenbergers...a few mid term exams, some dog running, some bikiling, and a little hanging out. I raced last weekend, and got absolutely slaughtered! I am not sure what happened. I have been feeling pretty decent on the bike, but I felt like a pile of poop @ Spanish Lake.







None of these pics officially demonstrate the amount of pain and agony I felt, so I guess my poker face is still pretty solid. I crashed twice for no reason...I assume I was fighting fatigue and it got the best of me. Regardless, I had fun; I am heading to BoCoMO for more pain tomorrow, then back here to STL for Faust Park CX.

I did some top secret race-mods to my steed last night (which kept me up way too late), so I am hopinig that helps out a bit. That reminds me, I need to glue a tubular as soon as I get home, b/c on my last lap at the cross ride last night, I ate shit going up hill and rolled a tubie! How is that even possible? Micah?

Well, that is about it. I have finally touched base w/ Micah and Thomas...still playing a game of phone tag w/ the Teej...Lance, if you are reading this entry, lay off my boy a bit, so I can get my fix!

Lost and Found

I have certainly been a stranger lately to many; however I have not been lost. I believe preoccupied may be a better descriptor of my life. As per usual, school is blah, blah, blah and work was blah, blah, blah...now, on to our not so regularly scheduled programming.

I remember promising a certain picture dump of all the things of new around the house...well, that day will come possibly sooner than later. Who am I kidding, you will never get to see that. I do have some pics for your viewing pleasure, so without further adieu:



- State track was amazing! I learned a lot racing w/ the likes of Tom Brinker and Russ Murphy...there were some fast cats from Australia as well, racing for the newly updated Lindenwood Cycling team.

- Pic of Tom and I in the points race maybe? I am not sure.




- We headed down to the river in July to show all the kids from Logan a good ol' fashioned Rolla good time...I think I managed to have the best time on the river period!





See above caption for description...yeah, I really did have the most fun.





This is my buddy Steve and I at Chiro Games...think of it as the Chiropractic Olympics. I ran a 5k and a 5 mile race...yeah, that is right, I ran. I held a pretty decent pace for the 5k, and finished in 18:39...my 5 mile on the other hand kind of stunk, as I came in @ exactly 35 min. Bummer. Maybe next year I will actually run more than a few times and see how that pans out. The top 3 were pretty much pre-decided...I took 7th, and probably could have trained well enough to take 4th. Something to shoot for, if you are into running.





The Logan Boys @ Castlewood. We get out when we can. The mountain bike and cx bike have been the steeds of choice since track ended. I am still running a bit too. Yoga rounds off my workout regimen...I may even start lifting again?!?





This was the best part of the Tour of MO...standing across the finish from this guy...look at that sexy biatch!


Speaking of sexy, look at those Chops! K looks ok too...ok, K upholds the sexiness, and my chops are a very close second:)

So, that is what I have been up to. I have some pics of the house, some bike stuff, winery visits, and BBQ's yet to load up. Those will come.

This week is the famous SORSI homecoming. I will be in seminars from Wednesday to Sunday. Saturday night, we get all fancied up and go to a banquet and dance. Maybe I will take some pics of that too. Anyway, I would really like to post on this thing more often, so Email me and heckle me about it ever so often.

Thanks
