I'm game.

Recently I took part in a sports event that involved running, kayaking and mountain biking. It is in teams of two. I did it with a friend from the neighbourhood.

It starts with a short fast run. I like that and although far from being my fastest, I was right up there. Then the kayak on a river. Water level was low so you had to pick your course well to avoid the rocks. There were some rapids too. It was tiring but fun. Plus we laughed with fellow competitors along the way.

Then there was a tough off road run followed by an hour of mountain biking. We finished in the top ten but doing it was worth much more than the placing. There is a great sense of comradery between the competitors. Plus I got to see many people I don't see very often.

The event is finished with a meal together, sharing food, a laugh and a beer!!
Times like that I forget completely about my situation and live in the moment. If you are overburdened by stress and worries, go mountain bike king. It works every time.Because you are forced to focus or you fall/crash!!

I was in my moment and although focused on the race, I did momentarily think about W........ each time I saw her and kids smiling at us at different points during the event.

After the meal I bought raffle tickets and gave one each to our sons. Last year they gave out that I didn't bring home the prize!!This year WE did.
