The High Life

Posted in Festivals/Events by sarasheehy on 28 July 2010

My volunteer duty at the Galena Grinder was to sit at the very last trail junction and call out racer’s numbers to the timing booth at the finish.  This allowed the timing booth to announce the finisher’s name as they completed.  About halfway through my duty the race director, Marc, delivered me an ice cold Miller High Life.  I was understandably excited.

Marathon Racers

The marathon race at the Galena Grinder was a grueling 45 miles.  The winner completed the race in a nauseating 3 hours and 39 minutes.

A view from a high ridge looking down into the Yankee Fork drainage.  I’m cheating – this image was taken by my fiancée Mike.

Biking and Sheep

Posted in Adventure Sundays by sarasheehy on 19 July 2010

Happy Monday!  What did you get up to this weekend?

On Sunday I headed to Galena Lodge to mountain bike some of the shorter trails while Mike did a test run of the Galena Grinder course, which he’ll race in next weekend.  At one point, I eased my bike (Gisele) through a band of grazing sheep.
