http://www.chrisstreeter.com The blog of Chris Streeter. Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:14:11 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Over the weekend, I participated in a trail running 10k. I did the 10k distance, which turned out to be more difficult than my previous trail run. This course wasn't as aggressive as the Dip Sea trail, with a sloping 1000 foot elevation gain, followed by a steep ... http://www.chrisstreeter.com/archive/2008/12/288/the-north-face-endurance-challenge-10k Over the weekend, I participated in my first Pacific Coast Trail Runs event.  I did the Stinson Beach 12k which turned out to be a more difficult event than I expected.  The trail has a pretty aggressive elevation gain with just about all of the gain at the start of ... http://www.chrisstreeter.com/archive/2008/11/282/stinson-beach-trail-run A couple months ago I heard about the San Francisco Triathlon on Treasure Island.  At the time, I knew there was a sprint and an Olympic distance, but relegated myself to the sprint distance. However, after the last triathlon I did, I just decided to try for the Olympic distance.  ... http://www.chrisstreeter.com/archive/2008/11/270/2008-treasure-island-olympic-triathlon On Saturday, my local CrossFit affiliate had our Fight Gone Bad day. This was my first official FGB, and having only done it one other time, I decided to forgo the official men's weight, and do the intermediate weight (which also happened to be the women's weight). I did the ... http://www.chrisstreeter.com/archive/2008/09/263/2008-fight-gone-bad Over the weekend, I did my second 10k in 3 weeks. A running club in San Jose holds an annual trail running event with different distances. I chose to do the 10k distance as that is right now the longest distance I'm comfortable running. The course was located in the hills ... http://www.chrisstreeter.com/archive/2008/09/259/the-quicksilver-challenge-5k-10k-half-marathon This morning I did my second triathlon of 2008. It was the 15th Annual Tri For Real.  This is the triathlon which the Tri for Fun series is supposed to prepare you for.  The race was good, and I felt decently comfortable for the swim and bike.  As usual, ... http://www.chrisstreeter.com/archive/2008/09/255/15th-annual-tri-for-real Tonight I completed my first competitive 10k.  Two weeks ago, I did the Nike+ Human Race, though I don't really consider that in the same level, since it was by my self and there weren't others to get the same competitive drive. So I did the Palo Alto Online Moonlight run ... http://www.chrisstreeter.com/archive/2008/09/249/palo-alto-moonlight-10k This morning I did my first triathlon of 2008.  It was the 21st Annual Tri For Fun #3, which is prep race for the 21st Annual Tri For Real.  The race was good, and I felt pretty comfortable the whole time.  So I just wanted to post my splits that ... http://www.chrisstreeter.com/archive/2008/08/237/21st-annual-tri-for-fun-3 [fa:p:a=thailand-2008,p=2,id=2767614096,j=l,s=s,l=i] I've finally gotten around to finishing tagging, titling and describing my trip to Singapore and Thailand that occurred in March (!!) of this year.  I know that it is really late, but I guess it is better than never.  I put all the pictures up on flickr for people ... http://www.chrisstreeter.com/archive/2008/08/232/singapore-and-thailand-2008 I posted on the 5th about how the travel page now shows all my travels.  Well, I also mentioned that the page loads really slow.  I'm happy to say that I greatly improved the processing bottleneck that existed.  I implemented caching which has sped things up considerably.  Previously, the travel ... http://www.chrisstreeter.com/archive/2008/08/201/cache-miss
