It's certainly been a dark day today with the two tragedies. One that took the lives of people living their dream, and another that ended the chances of those kids realizing theirs. Too sad.

To get a "true" resting heart rate you need to record it as soon as you wake up in the morning, even before getting out of bed. Preferably it's done when waking up naturally...an alarm elevates the HR. A lower resting heart rate doesn't mean you circulate less blood throughout your system - it means you have a higher stroke volume per beat. Your heart is physically larger and stronger, so it can circulate the same volume in less contractions. If I remember correctly, 220-age to determine MHR is used primarily in sedentary populations and has little relevance to athletes. This formula was derived from a series of tests done in Scandinavia back in the 60's on a cross section of the population there. RHR is decent indicator of fitness, but VO2 max is better. Anaerobic threshold is another good one, but doesn't have a linear correlation to ones aerobic capacity so it can be misleading.

This comeback is almost as heroic as Armstrong's. Good for him. Hermann Meier wins

Well, I'm glad the money went back into the park. I was afraid it might go back into the general fund and pay for city officials' green fees or something.

$5 bucks on Allison...it'll be close though. Is this gonna be on the next "Girls Gone Wild in the Backcountry"?

Yup...through Sandpoint, ID is the best way to go. The roads are usually better for driving fast. The only problem is the border patrol guy will usually want to pull you over to search your car, because it's the most fun he's had in hours. And don't forget you bump ahead one hour when you head to either Banff or Hyalite.

Don't forget to include Muir on Saturday and Dan Larson Sux.

Don't forget about your evil little dog. Amber was friggin genius. I thought it was pretty obvious to everyone till the PM's were posted and I saw how many people fell for it. That cracked my shit up.

I just saw some of those Marmot shorts at Second Bounce the other day. I'm still puzzled by them.

Huh...that's what I thought. The pillars to the right were just as fat, albeit steeper.

another one:

Here are some pics from this last weekend. Things shaped up nicely.

G1. (Thanks Lambone)

Oh yeah...make sure you have a 4x4 w/ high clearance. The road is starting to get interesting.

Hyalite was fat this last weekend.

That's the funniest shit I've heard in awhile.

snow good. rain bad. I'm going to Hyalite though. Have fun in the rain suckers

geez...you guys are back early.

Hey...I thought it was Tacoma's turn. Oh, never mind.

The AMGA is a member of the UIAGM/IFMG. Permissions given to UIAGM members are transferrable to AMGA certified guides overseas. That's what I understand at least.

Any one who is going to make the kind of money he is going to make will have a screwed up sense of reality. The argument could be made that high school sports offer more kids the opportunity for education than not. This kid is phenomenal...it's too bad he's not going to college first, but what would you do if you were offered 30 million a year to play a game?

Check out what my dog caught last night

Chubby and Tubby just went out of business because of places like Fred Meyer. Fight the power.
