Life After School: Yuki Bar 24 Hour AR
http://stephaniemarion.blogspot.com/2011/05/yuki-bar-24-hour-ar.html
Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Yuki Bar 24 Hour AR. This past weekend Marsha Hamilton and Stephanie Briggs attacked the Yuki-Bar race, put on by the Bushwack folks in the Pilot Mountain/Hanging Rock state park area of NC. The race started Friday night at 7pm and I'd never done a 24 hour race w/ a nighttime start. Basically, it meant that you had to scramble more to get your gear together quicker, but we didn't have to find a place to sleep on Friday night . Sweet! The paddle was uneventful, but just fast and rock...

Life After School: Siege on Ft. Yargo
http://stephaniemarion.blogspot.com/2013/06/siege-on-ft-yargo.html
Wednesday, June 5, 2013. Siege on Ft. Yargo. A kick-ass, fun race put on by the Trailblazer Adventure Racing Club. Low entry fees, beginner friendly (6 hours), great venue with fun trails. If you are thinking about trying an AR, do this race! Ok, done with the preaching. Jenn and I raced as 2 females. Several AR pals were there volunteering or racing and it was a good atmosphere. Actually, yes, that is us in the back of the pack. Here's the thing about paddling. We suck at it. OK, we probably aren't that...

Life After School: December 2012
http://stephaniemarion.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 11, 2012. The race worked like this: 30 checkpoints, split into the following legs or segments:. We finally got a reprieve from the climbing with a bit of fun downhill single-track. Yay! Of teams wound up just going across the out-of-bounds Kawana area to get out of there. Here, we all debated what to do next, but we ate a few grilled cheese sandwiches provided by the volunteers (mad props for that! And I was still jealous! Here the volunteers had chicken soup for us! We transitioned to...

Life After School: January 2012
http://stephaniemarion.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 9, 2012. I haven't written in a while because my husband, Kurt, died in July. I wish it weren't true. Nothing can describe what this is like, but if you want to know you can ask me and I"ll do my best. Here, of course I usually talk about running and riding bikes and swimming and other fun stuff. So I'm going to continue to do that, but I couldn't ignore that this has happened. Since I wrote my stats up last year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). After 22 years of school, I'm finished!

Life After School: October 2013
http://stephaniemarion.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 9, 2013. I've been on a little hiatus this summer from my sporty blogging etc because of two things. The first is a hip injury that flared up in July and has left me unable to run or do pretty much anything except for ride my bike. The second was a crazy work/vacation trip that kept expanding and really wrecked my training. After Hawaii, work got ridiculously busy and kept me in California basically until last week. I got sick, of course, which stunk, but the work was pretty fun, a...

Life After School: June 2011
http://stephaniemarion.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Last weekend, Jenn and I got around to doing a race we've been meaning to do for a while- the Special Operations Adventure Race in scenic Highlands, NC. Jenn is from Highlands so she knows the area and we have a free place to stay so it is a complete Win- Win- Win! Note, however, that the word 'scenic' is often code for 'hilly' in describing races. I'm just gonna toss that out there. Out of 11 teams. Way to go Team Will Race For Food! Thursday, June 9, 2011. So the summertime is n...

Life After School: July 2012
http://stephaniemarion.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 9, 2012. The Ridges 5K Swim. This past weekend, Lorna conned me into a weird training extravaganza in the North Georgia mountains. On Saturday, we tackled the 3 Gap ride in the am and then the Coosa Backcountry trail in the pm. I turned in my best time on the 3 Gap (shaving at least 10 or so minutes off of just last week). Me and Lorna at the top of the 3rd Gap. I knew then it was going to be an adventure. After the first crowded leg, I left myself look down at my watch for the first time, a...

Life After School: Misc. Fall Activities
http://stephaniemarion.blogspot.com/2013/01/misc-fall-activities.html
Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Once again, I'm publishing this well after I meant to. Things are looking a little out of order and unkempt on the blog, so I apologize. This fall I've been fairly busy with doing some fun things. Most of which I've forgotten about but. I joined a womens rec soccer league. I had a ton of fun doing this, and hope to do more of it. However, I lost a toenail in the process. Yuck! It was a pretty great weekend. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
