Men's May Challenge Thread (Page 14)

brick94513 - 2010-05-11 7:43 PM Paul, I'm confused.  XTERRA  lists the championship at Park City, but the event webpage states both Ogden and Snowbasin Resort.  Is Snowbasin Resort in Park City?

billsorg - 2010-05-12 6:27 AM I woke up this morning with a bit of a stiff neck.  Got in the shower and after I washed my hair, I completely tweaked it and now am unable to raise my arms above my head without shooting pain in my neck.  Full-blown muscle spasms.  I get this from time to time and I think it's a result of a car accident I was in when I was in my 20's.  Then again, I might just be getting old.  I popped some Tylenol and will have to wait and see about my scheduled swim workout at lunchtime. 

wgraves7582 - 2010-05-12 5:56 AM Well it is Wednesday and our son's good buddy is going in to have surgery to remove cancerous material in his knee area.  He is 13 y/o and I guess they call this Soft Tissue Cancer and it is not a good thing.  So far it is just in the knee area and has not spread so we are praying that they get it all and his recovery time is short with the required radiation treatments.  I just shake my head at the thought of that for a 13 y/o having to endure that.  His name is Cory and if you could pray for him as well I would greatly appreciate it.

wgraves7582 - 2010-05-12 5:41 AM Morning everyone.  Did some yoga and then a short five finger discount run.

Hitting the pool tonight and if this &*D(#(#$*#&$(*&#)((@**@&$* Weather ever turns nice I will return to the bike!!!

That's almost as bad as one of my jokes.

billsorg - 2010-05-12 7:50 AM Well, my neck is completely locked up.  Going to see the doctor at 4pm.  Also having an issue with swimmer's ear, so might as well get that looked at as well.  Right now, I truly look like I'm 80 years old... hunched over, walking slowly with a shuffle, and asking people to repeat everything they say.

Snowbasin is a ski resort up the canyon from Ogden. They had some of the Olympic ski events there but its definitely not on the same level as Park City. They don't have lodging at Snowbasin. I just did a quick search and anything close is pricey for that weekend. In fact I've never paid that much when I have stayed in the Park City area. I'm one step farther away from going to XTERRA this year.

Yeah, looks like the event is at Snowbasin.  The host hotel is the Marriot in Ogden with rooms rates at $99/night for Xterra competitors.
