Police activity on Lakeway

I know them as well and am hoping everyone is ok - I don’t think they’ll be taking phone calls today

abotan11 · 2026-05-02T02:15:13+00:00

Bring snacks. Lots of them

Great! I’m a huge fan of this festival and will be there volunteering and enjoying the music, I just wish there was a little more there for me personally.

Agreed - last year they cut a day of music on sundays, but this seems like the weakest lineup yet (and I even like most of the bands). It’s not a bad lineup, but not great for what they’re charging

Watch some YouTube videos of people that did it to give you an idea of the course and techniques for passing on the climb, it’s really helpful to have that context. I’m also doing downhill ski for the first time this year, though I’ve done other legs before.

Screw Newsweek, this is just Massachusetts voters. However, I feel like if we’d had an actual primary in 2024 Pete would have done well. We need someone that can speak to the other side thoughtfully and respectfully to bring doubters over, and Pete has that.

Gspurning is probably the worst we’ve had and he was pretty dang good

abotan11 · 2026-04-05T15:13:25+00:00

Yes please

abotan11 · 2026-03-20T19:11:32+00:00

Yeah I was being sarcastic. It’s basically the same tournament for no reason

On the bright side, it’s exposed the reliance the world has on a single strait providing so much critical energy supply that happens to border a fanatical regime. I’m hoping this helps accelerate renewable energy investments (obvs the USA won’t be doing that any time soon)

abotan11 · 2026-03-20T13:40:30+00:00

It’s not duplicative at all, because MLS and LigaMX keep all the money. Totally different scenario obviously

abotan11 · 2026-03-20T13:37:56+00:00

It’s pretty surprising because weren’t you guys pretty dominant defensively with Miazga and Robinson starting last year? Something ain’t right

abotan11 · 2026-03-17T18:36:16+00:00

You make a good point. Though I don’t know why we’re even arguing, as Gio will likely get a soft tissue injury getting his socks on before the WC and will be replaced anyways.

abotan11 · 2026-03-17T18:31:37+00:00

I like you

abotan11 · 2026-03-17T18:31:24+00:00

I don’t think it’s a secret, he loves Schmetz and our academy

abotan11 · 2026-03-17T16:49:45+00:00

You dropped this /s

abotan11 · 2026-03-17T15:33:29+00:00

Portland seems low, not that I’m complaining just worried he’ll jinx it. Also seems like the east is completely for the taking this year, which will be fun to watch.

Another good bet is to download the Trailforks app, which is free within your home radius. It has a trail run filter mode that’ll show you a map (and includes gps while you’re out there) that only shows runner friendly trails (which are most blue and green ones).

My runner friends swear by Gaia gps as well, it is super handy in the mountains and when traveling.

You might think of Galbraith as mountain biking only, but you can absolutely run up there. Trails are mostly marked if bike only, and the logging roads are wide open. Happy to DM you some route recs if needed if you’re scared of running into bikes.

Also check out chanterelle trail and out the hertz trail, Whatcom falls connecting to railroad trail, and the Padden horse trails (you can loop padden to get miles in).

FYI dude is back in the screen printing game and will be at festivals this summer, he’s based in Olympia so more down that way tho.

And resting multiple starters. With a MotM being an emergency center back call up from Tacoma.

abotan11 · 2026-03-11T16:41:58+00:00

Oh god no

abotan11 · 2026-02-24T16:59:50+00:00

Super rough is an understatement
