Because I Can: December 2008
http://julsnz.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Saturday, 27 December 2008. I bought an expensive heart rate monitor about 4 years ago, when I started trying to lose weight. It was good when I was walking, as it told me I needed to work harder as I got fitter. Wednesday, 17 December 2008. Rotorua Half Ironman Photos. Photos taken by Arthur H - for free! Finally finishing the Rotorua Half Ironman. You were the star of the show, no doubt. It was without a doubt one of. I got all my gear to...

Because I Can: April 2009

Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Wednesday, 29 April 2009. Well, not quite, we missed it by 1 hour 16 minutes, but 6th out of 22 in the veteran's category was pretty shit hot! Firstly a catch up. I'll add photo's later. We enjoyed the trails - Brian didn't want to venture off anything greater than Grade 2. Afterwards I suggested we should look at bike shops. The second one we went to 'browse' in had some good discounts on last years bikes. So surprise surprise! Sorted out ...

Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Monday, 22 March 2010. A serious hurt fest. The ARC 8 hour adventure race. I knew it was going to hurt! What a great event though! I arrived at our bach in Whitianga late Friday afternoon. I unpacked everything, caught up with my sister and her husband, who were staying at our bach, then headed down to register with Janie in town. A pair of socks - I actually need some! We were given the race book, but no maps! Then onto the bike, and up hi...

Because I Can: A week to go!
http://julsnz.blogspot.com/2010/03/week-to-go.html
Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Friday, 12 March 2010. A week to go! The ARC Operation Blue Moon adventure race is a week away, I have not lost 15 kg, and I haven't done enough training. I will get my butt seriously kicked. Time for some new goals, and major motivation. I have been going for short jog/walks, and although my knee hurts, I can live with it. The farm is very dry again - three years of dry autumns in a row, is not great! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Because I Can: February 2009

Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Tuesday, 24 February 2009. Always wear your helmet. After 3 days of eating toffee pops on our boat (and catching fish of course! I decided I better get back to the programme. I needed to do a 3 hour bike ride. Problem - only an hour to do it. Blow it an hour is better than nothing. I can touch type very fast, a great asset in todays computer world! So I joined in the brigade that wore helmets before they became compulsory - sigh! I remember...

Because I Can: Hay making time
http://julsnz.blogspot.com/2009/12/hay-making-time.html
Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Sunday, 13 December 2009. A highlight of my younger days was haymaking time. When I was old enough I got to 'turn' the hay with the tractor and conditioner. It was a good way to get a tan! We used to line up for a 'sip' of beer. DB Draught in those days in the big 750 ml bottles! The grass gets cut for hay tomorrow night. The weather is looking good - fine right through, (good for the Rotorua HIM). Most of the hay will be in big bal...Why a...

Because I Can: Fishing
http://julsnz.blogspot.com/2010/03/fishing.html
Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Monday, 15 March 2010. Brian's marlin went under weight - In game fishing competitions there is a minimum weight fish should be, before they are eligible for prizes. It is meant to help promote tag and release. Brian used a tape measure which is calibrated and thought the fish weighed about 95 kg, before boating it. Unfortunately is was under 90kg. But we've got smoked marlin for tea!

Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Friday, 12 March 2010. Just as I posted - Brian rang - he's just landed a striped marlin! They're in the trailer boat competition in Mercury Bay, so they might get a nice prize for it, as well as some smoked marlin next week. Yum! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Tuesday, 22 December 2009. All I want for Christmas. While Brian shouted himself (well officially us) 3 top of the range fishing rods, I got this:. It is a genuine McGregor's weed grubber. Yah! I was so excited I went out tonight and spent 90 minutes getting rid of weeds on the run off. It actually proved to be a good workout, and I've got a blister to prove it. Thanks very much Brian, such a thoughtful gift! I have had three lovely girls, ...
