U.S. paratriathletes shine at CAF World Paratriathlon San Diego
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Nearly 50 paratriathletes from five different countries participated Saturday in the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) World Paratriathlon San Diego, the first of three international paratriathlon races offered by the International Triathlon Union in 2013.
The race helps to set the stage for athletes who already have their sights set on the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, where paratriathlon will make its debut on the Paralympic program.
"I love that our sport is starting to get a little more credibility," said Patricia Walsh, a TRI-6a competitor from Austin, Texas. "What I see is the numbers have doubled in the past two years, so I think what's happening is we're starting to get some of those really elite athletes from other sports and disciplines like Paralympic swimming, Paralympic cycling. As a result, we're seeing our competition really take a big jump, which I think we all wanted. It's really a fantastic time to be in paratriathlon."
A number of athletes are just starting to shift their focus to triathlon, with the USA Paratriathlon National Championships set for late May and the ITU Paratriathlon World Championships in London in September. Aaron Scheidies, a TRI-6b athlete who hails from Seattle, Wash., just finished the Boston Marathon on Monday before jumping into his first multisport event in San Diego.
"It's good to be back," Scheidies said of his return to triathlon. "It's good to race on the paratriathlon circuit, and it's a good start on the road to Rio."
Paratriathlon has made great strides as a sport in recent years, but the athletes are still limited on the number of races featuring international-level competition in the U.S. Having one of just nine races on the ITU schedule here at home is special for local athletes.
"I'm from San Diego, so it's a big deal," said Jamie Brown (TRI-5, Carlsbad, Calif.) "That in conjunction with Gwen winning yesterday, it's an awesome experience for all of USA Triathlon. It was great - a lot of the ITU races are hard for my family to get to, so I have a lot of support here. It was a great chance for them to come and see me race here, and I couldn't ask for anything better."
In addition to CAF's role as a Title Sponsor for the race, the foundation also had members of its new elite paratriathlon team in attendance. Over the past 20 years, CAF has raised more than $40 million and satisfied close to 7,000 funding requests from physically challenged athletes.
"If it weren't for Challenged Athletes Foundation, paratriathlon wouldn't be where it's at today," said Mark Barr (TRI-2, Houston, Texas). "They're really pushing paratriathlon to the next level, so it's a huge honor to be on the elite team and I hope to represent them well."
Jim MacLaren, who was inducted into the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame on Thursday, was the inspiration for the beginnings of CAF, and the organization continues to provide support to athletes who hope to break into sport instead of sitting on the sidelines.
"CAF was really born out of triathlon because of one man, one triathlete who was injured," said Sarah Reinertsen (Mission Viejo, Calif.), who has been competing in paratriathlon for 10 years. "This is such a great stage to show Californians, to show Americans, to show the world what paratriathletes can do."

Or 'Asics Super Six - the Sequel'
It was that ankle so could have been related to that. All fine now though.
Not been around here much for a variety of reasons but have managed to keep running in order to get into 3 figures for the monthly mileage. Did a leg of the Round MK Relay last weekend through the mud and puddles and was pleased to have an average pace that started with a 9 (just).
I think you should be fine hopping into the middle of a half marathon plan, 20 weeks seems ages!
No reconfiguration letters in my dept yet but short staffed yet again. I was filling out a referral to Occ Health and realised that the sickness added up to 13 weeks out of the last 26!!!!!!
Most pressing news though is that we had it confirmed this afternoon that MiL will be going home on Monday. I think the social worker needs to have a think about his strategy of not communicating any plans to relatives until the care package is confirmed.

There is increasing concern among the public and the scientific community about climate change. Understanding the potential impacts to both natural and man-made systems is critical to the Corps, especially as we plan today for water resources that will be sustainable in the future and make permit decisions that will affect development trends and the waters of the United States. The most important influences of climate change on Corps missions are changes in temperature; changes in precipitation quantity, intensity and form (snow vs. rain); and changes in sea levels, winds and wave patterns.
How Does Climate Change Affect USACE Mission Areas?
Climate change impacts affect water availability, water demand, water quality, stormwater and wastewater infrastructure, flood and coastal storm infrastructure, wildland fires, ecosystem functioning, coastal zone functioning, navigation, and energy production and demand. All of these factors affect the water resources projects operated by the Corps and its non-Federal sponsors. Many of these were designed and constructed before climate change was recognized as a potential influence.
The entire portfolio of USACE Civil Works water resources infrastructure and programs, existing and proposed, could be affected by climate change and adaptation to climate change. This affects design and operational assumptions about resource supplies, system demands or performance requirements, and operational constraints. Both droughts and floods can affect the operations of these projects. Numerous regulatory decisions made by USACE will need to be informed by climate change impacts and adaptation considerations throughout the U.S., especially in western states.

HPBA Files Comments in Response to DOE RFI
HPBA Files Comments in Response to DOE RFI
On December 5, 2011, the Department of Energy (DOE) published a Request for Information (RFI) in the Federal Register seeking comments and information from interested parties in an effort to determine the need for changes to any of their existing rules. DOE stated that it was seeking comments as part of its implementation of Executive Order 13563, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review," issued by President Obama on January 18, 2011.
As part of the Executive Order, all agencies were directed to conduct periodic retrospective reviews of regulations "that may be outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome, and to modify, streamline, expand, or repeal them in accordance with what has been learned."
In response to the RFI, HPBA submitted comments to DOE on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, urging DOE to abandon the agency's overly-burdensome and unnecessary regulation classifying both decorative vented gas fireplaces and vented gas log sets as "direct heating equipment" (DHE). In addition to the improper classification of decorative vented gas fireplaces and vented gas log sets as DHE, HPBA also commented on the improper imposition of heating standards on non-heating products, a lack of justification for the alternative requirements imposed under the new final rule, and the procedural irregularities in the rulemaking.

Service and Food was great!
Our visit was great. Have to state that our second room smelled awful...like mildew or mold. Really hard to breathe. Maintenance came in with room spray...that helped so we could fall asleep. Still awful in the morning. Really, really awful.
I stayed for one night only for a triathlon. This resort wasn't accommodating and no early check in or check out was offered. Also, nothing was complimentary and the food at the café by the pool had very few healthy options. This wasn't convenient as everything else required driving with the exception of an expensive steakhouse at the resort.
We stayed one night at the resort for a triathlon on the premises. The hotel was great and very accommodating. Would definitely book a long weekend here!
it was one of the greatest experiences i've ever had!
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Doug Winter: The 1894-O has a higher mintage figure than the combined numbers of 1888-O, 1892-O and 1893-O, but it is scarcer than any of these three issues.
This formerly scarce date has become far more available in the past few years. It is seen more often in circulated dates than the other New Orleans eagles from this decade and is easy to find in grades up to and including AU58. It is slightly scarce in MS60 to MS61 and scarce in properly graded MS62. MS63 pieces are very rare and I am aware of just three or four that grade higher than this including one Gem.
The 1894-O was formerly an extremely scarce date in Uncirculated but a number of hoards have been found in the past decade. The first of these appeared around 1994 when at least fifty Uncirculated pieces came onto the market. Since then, hundreds more have been found.
Enough circulated 1894-O eagles are known to suggest that this date, unlike the 1888-O, 1892-O and 1893-O, actually saw commercial usage.
STRIKE: This is a well struck issue that is typically found with good detail at the centers. On some, the hair directly above the ear of Liberty is weak. The stars are often fully detailed on the radial lines.
SURFACES: Nearly every 1894-O eagle shows a good number of abrasions but this date is, on the whole, considerably less abraded than the 1892-O and the 1893-O. It is possible to find an example with acceptable surfaces.
LUSTER: The luster is usually satiny and slightly subdued. There are some semi-prooflike and prooflike pieces known and these are seldom choice.
COLORATION: The natural coloration ranges from rose-gold to green-gold and even orange-gold. Some examples have an inner ring of color that contrasts the fields and devices. Others have dark high points from improper storage.
EYE APPEAL: This date has better eye appeal than many of the New Orleans eagles from the 1890's. It is a well struck issue with good luster and color. The collector should be able to find a pleasing MS60 to MS62 without a great deal of effort.
DIE CHARACTERISTICS: There is a diagonal die scratch that connects the RT in LIBERTY. On some coins, the curls on the neck are partially detached as a result of die polishing.
MAJOR VARIETIES: There is a single variety known.
Variety One: The date is placed slightly high in the field and to the left with the 1 closer to the truncation than to the denticles. The mintmark tilts to the right, is placed high and near the arrow feather. On a number of coins a fine die crack encircles the reverse and joins many of the letters.
American Numismatic Rarities 9/2005:1319, $21,850

Running for Red, White and Blue
What it takes to make the women's United States Mountain Running Team
Photo by Joe Viger
Earlier this year I decided to compete for a spot on the women's United States Mountain Running Team (USMRT). Mountain running is not only a melting pot of road speedsters and trail running uphill-downhill specialists, it is one of the few ways a trail runner can represent her country on a world stage. For me, the chance to wear USA on my racing jersey was reason enough.
I began training in early April, incorporating track work and tempos for the first time since college. I lifted weights and focused on speed. I was told the qualifying race was going to be a fast course—cross-country like, so I worked hard to get faster. I entered races in the La Sportiva Mountain Cup (a proclaimed "European style mountain series" across the country consisting of half marathons to 30Ks) to get myself accustomed to shorter, faster races. Suddenly it was June and $750 in airfare later, I found myself flying from Colorado across the country to run 4.8 miles.
I was headed to North Conway, New Hampshire, to run the sole qualifying race for the USMRT—the Cranmore Hill Climb—on June 25, 2011. Directed by Paul Kirsch, this year's United States Mountain Running Championship would be a short race at the Cranmore Mountain Resort—one of the oldest ski resorts in the country. This would be my one shot to make the team; you could call it the "Olympic Trials" of mountain running.

Birding characters
Birds are strange and bizarre animals. Perhaps they are no stranger than people, but birds are entertaining to watch. It may be because in some ways they act very similarly to people, and at other times they act so differently.
Birds are on my mind right now, since the birdfeeders are full, and Audubon is rolling out the winter bird-seed sale to help raise money to support the building and programs at Audubon. The bird-seed sale offers a significant sales price on quality bird seed. More information is available at www.jamestownaudubon.org.
Why feed birds? Watching a birdfeeder is like watching television. There's drama, love stories, beautiful characters, gluttons, bullies, murder and mayhem. It's the ultimate reality show. Let me introduce you to some of the characters at the feeder.
The flashiest bird at the feeder is probably the cardinal. There may be as many as a dozen cardinals at a feeder, downing sunflower seeds like shots of whiskey at the bar. The males, bright red, are almost always in the company of brownish females. The males fight away any birds, including their mates, that get too close to their food. By the end of the month, one may start seeing some signs of affection. The males will feed the females seeds. Scientists call this "courtship feeding.' Birders who witness this just say, "Aww, how sweet."
The chickadee is the sweet, next-door neighbor of the feeder. In Gilligan's Island terms, they are the Mary Anne to the cardinal's Ginger. These tiny birds tolerate people quite well and can even be trained to eat out of your hands. They fly out to the feeder, grab a seed and carry it back to the tree, where they bash it to pieces. There is an elaborate system of who eats first and, with careful watching, you can learn to pick out individual chickadees and figure out who is top bird. Chickadees love to eat suet in the yard, which is just beef fat, but in the wild they eat the fat and scrap off dead animals.
Blue jays are the mafia of the feeder. These flashy birds are loud, pushy thieves. They come in gangs, loudly announcing their arrival and pushing other birds off the feeder. Once there, they start swallowing food and storing it in a special pouch in their throat called a "gular pouch."
They steal off with the seeds and stash them all over the yard for later use. Blue jays are also known for imitating the sounds of hawks, which they occasionally do just to spook all the other birds off the feeder. This is the birdfeeder equivalent of yelling "Fire!" in a movie theater. Blue jays may be the bad boys of the birdfeeder, but they do all kinds of interesting things to watch.
Juncos tend to be the aimless teenage boys of the birdfeeder. The brown females tend to migrate farther south, leaving the males up north. Watch them push each other around, occasionally even clawing at each other while flying. Particularly pushy Juncos will push around cardinals and other birds, though blue jays will usually put them in their place. Juncos hang out with each other and in mixed flocks of other birds when they're not at the feeder.
Mourning doves are the "not so bright, but lovable" characters at the feeder. They waddle along the ground on bright pink legs, picking up the seeds that others tossed down from the feeder as not good enough. They affably waddle through life until scared, when they fly away at tremendous speeds, often mistaking a window for the yard. Outside the yard, look for them along the road, where they eat road grit to help them digest their food.
Cooper's hawks add murder and mayhem to the feeder scene. These small hawks are bird specialists. They lurk near the feeder until all is quiet, then fly out swiftly to grab unsuspecting birds. Their short wings and slight build give them incredible maneuverability. They can be seen weaving in and out of the branches of a tree at high speeds as they chase their bird prey into the open. If the birds at your feeder seem unusually jumpy, or if they all stop moving for minutes at a time, look into the sky and surrounding trees for a hawk nearby.
There is, of course, much more to any birdfeeder story. There are the cute nuthatches calling like tiny trumpets as they walk face-first down the tree. There are woodpeckers of various sizes visiting for suet and fatty seeds. There can be exotic visitors, like redpolls and evening grosbeaks, that come to the feeder from faraway lands.
Audubon's birdfeeders have cozy couches and reading material right next to them.
If you don't have feeders of your own, feel free to use Audubon's. The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is located at 1600 Riverside Road, just east of Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. Audubon also has everything you need to start feeding the birds, from birdfeeders to bird seed to bird books. And don't forget to order bird seed through the winter bird-seed sale. More information is available at jamestownaudubon.org.
Jeff Tome is the senior naturalist at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary, where he hand feeds the chickadees and spends a little bit of time each day watching the birds at the feeder.

When Alicia Cooley, a 38-year-old from Barrington, began feeling depressed early in her second pregnancy, she attributed it to the recent death of her father-in-law. It never occurred to her that the feelings she was experiencing could be a perinatal mood disorder.
"I was very close to my father-in-law. We had a very difficult three weeks prior to his death, and we had to make the decision to take him off life support. I attributed my feelings of depression and grief to losing him. I also injured my knee and was out of work for awhile, which didn't help." Alicia's husband, Dale, tore a ligament in his knee at the same time, so he was also out of work. Tight finances and worries about his upcoming surgery were adding to the couple's stress.
Alicia's entire pregnancy was difficult. Since she was over 35, the doctors did a lot of tests on her as she got closer to her due date. Things were further complicated by the fact that the baby was breach. Doctors talked to Alicia about the possibility of a C-section, which she did not want. She had recurring nightmares that she died on the operating table.
Alicia tried a number of home remedies to get the baby to turn, but nothing worked. One day when two doctors were pushing externally on Alicia in an attempt to get the baby to turn, the baby's heart rate dropped and doctors had to do an emergency C-section.
"It was the scariest moment I've ever had. Her heart rate was dropping and all of a sudden they were cutting. After her birth, I had flashbacks for two weeks." She was later told this was a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder.
While still in the hospital, Alicia made one attempt to breastfeed the baby although it hadn't worked with her first child. The baby kept trying to position herself right on top of the scar from the C-section.
"I knew she'd be fine on formula. I didn't have the mixed feelings I'd had with my older daughter about trying to make it work. This time I just thought I've got enough going on."
Something else was wrong as well. Alicia noticed immediately that she didn't have the same feelings toward Sarah, the baby, as she had toward her first daughter, Megan, who was 18 months old at the time. She had no symptoms of depression at all after Megan's birth. WWith Megan I was just stressed from the lack of sleep and difficulty with breastfeeding."
"I knew something was wrong. I knew I shouldn't have been feeling like that. I was elated after the birth of my first daughter. This was just different. With Sarah I was grateful that we were both alive and OK after the surgery, but I didn't feel a connection with her. I was really exhausted and just wanted to sleep."
Fortunately for Alicia, her postpartum depression was caught before she left the hospital. As part of the state-mandated screening process, she was given a questionnaire to fill out to determine if she had, or had the potential for, postpartum depression. Given her score, she was referred to a counselor.
"I'd heard about postpartum depression, but no one ever thinks it will happen to them. I'm very conscious of depression because it runs in my family, but it still didn't occur to me I could have it."
At home, however, Alicia found her depression and anxiety worsening. She was tearful all the time, couldn't sleep much, and had no appetite. When Dale would come home from work, she would say "I don't know what you feel like having for dinner. I already fed the kids, but I'm not hungry so I didn't cook anything." Then she'd go upstairs and go to bed. That, she said, was completely out of the norm for her. She says Dale would ask her what was wrong and she would say "I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to be a mother to two. One I could handle."
To further add to the complications, Sarah developed colic and both Alicia and Dale were sleep-deprived. Then Alicia was diagnosed with pneumonia. "So I was dealing with feeling lousy from that, the depression, the constant needs of an infant, and trying to keep my 21-month-old occupied and not have her feel left out because of the new baby."
"I thought of running away. I kept thinking if no one was here I could get into a cab and go to a hotel and just sleep. My constant thought was 'I have to get out of here.' I didn't feel any bond with the baby, or any obligation to her. I felt like anyone out there could do a better job than I could. My husband, my mother-in-law, a stranger off the street."
Alicia went back to work right away, part-time, as an occupational therapist at a rehabilitation hospital in Philadelphia. She said work was the one place where she felt competent. "No matter how sleep-deprived I was, I could do my job. At home I felt like I couldn't do anything right."
Alicia first sought help through a social worker, then she was referred to a psychiatrist who had other clients suffering from postpartum depression. The psychiatrist tried different medications for Alicia's depression, but she experienced a number of side effects and complications before they found what worked for her.
"My social worker has been so great in helping me finally express my feelings about the pregnancy and birth, and just anything in general that was bothering me. I really trust her."
At her therapist's suggestion, Alicia brought her husband to one of her early sessions so that he could better understand that what his wife was battling was an illness and not something she could control.
"I think that made a huge difference in his understanding, but he wasn't going to talk to anybody about it outside the therapist and myself. He's not a joiner. He's not big on going to meetings. I do know he was looking at some Web sites and trying to find out as much as he could. He felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders, and I felt like it was on mine. He was helping me to the best of his ability but I needed more than he alone could give."
Also at her therapist's suggestion, Alicia also began attending a support group. After almost a year of being a virtual shut-in, she was able to make friends and connect with other women who knew what she was going through. Other mothers, many with their first child, often looked to her for advice since she had two children.
"It was such a relief to be around people who knew what I was experiencing, and not feel judged. It was hard to spend time with 'regular moms' because they just didn't understand how it takes over your whole life."
Two years have now passed, and Alicia says that although she still experiences the normal stresses of any mom with two children under five, things are much better.
"My recovery was so gradual. There wasn't a giant turning point. Probably about nine months after Sarah was born I started noticing I was feeling better. I had the strength to plan her first birthday party, and three months prior, I wouldn't have been able to handle even that."
Looking back at all she's been through, Alicia says she knows how fortunate she is to have gotten the help she needed.
"I think I did a good job of faking being normal at first to other people, but I just felt hollow inside. It's like being at the bottom of a well. You can look up and see that the rest of the world is up there, but you can't fight your way out, and you don't have the strength to even try. You feel hopeless, helpless, and like a terrible mother. No one should have to feel like that."

Crossing the Prince Edward Island - Page 2
Trophy Series Leader
Bradford is more than just a prolific racer: he is also currently leading the 2012 Trail Runner Trophy Series, which tallies results from 138 trail races in the US and Canada and compiles points for those completing both shorter races and races of marathon distance or longer (Bradford is leading in the latter category). In addition to regularly placing at the top of Trophy Series races, racing frequently has helped Bradford amass a huge point total.
"I hadn't really entered the series intentionally, but I got an e-mail early in the season that told me I was leading it," he says. "Now I'm kind of excited about the idea of winning it. Some races, like the Lean Horse [100 Mile, in South Dakota], I wouldn't have entered otherwise."
Bradford placed fifth at Lean Horse on August 25 – barely ten days after finishing his PEI crossing. Since March, he's won Moab, Utah's Red Hot 100 Mile, Nevada's Coyote Springs 100, Wyoming's 52-mile Rocky Mountain Double Marathon, the Black Hills 100, Wyoming's Happy Jack 100, and Colorado's Grand Mesa 100. He also placed 19th at Colorado's Quad Rock 50 Mile, and ran the occasional non-ultra race. He has ambitious plans for the rest of the year, including the Boulder 100 Mile in Colorado and the American Discovery Trail Marathon, where he hopes to hit a Boston Marathon-qualifying time (3:05) before his 35th birthday launches him into the next age bracket. The only catch – he will run the Breck Crest Mountain Marathon in Breckenridge the day before. (Update: after a 5:05 effort at Breck Crest, Bradford clocked a 3:20 at American Discovery Trail.)
"I don't really train during the summer," he says of his hectic racing calendar. "I mostly just recover between races."
Most remarkable, perhaps, is the fact that Bradford had hardly run a step before 2009.
"It was just another one of those mid-life realizations that I was out of shape and needed to live better," he says. "On New Years 2009, I ran the next day, and couldn't make it a mile. I wanted to run a marathon but ran a half first…eventually I did the Leadville 26.2-mile, and fell in love with trail running."
Since then, he's been busy running nearly every weekend during the summer (and spring, and fall).
"But I'm not sure why I started winning this year," he concedes. "I just started running much faster this year."

Time to Stock Up?
If any of your money-related resolutions involve sticking to a budget in the coming year (and we hope they do!), we have good news and bad news. The good: Many economists predict that the price of gasoline will actually decrease in 2014. The bad: Prices for a lot of other basic staples are expected to rise. Here are five big ones you'll be shelling out more for this year — and why.
Gorcery-Store Food (Including Bread, Produce and Chocolate)
This year, food prices are expected to rise by 2.5 to 3.5 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Price Outlook. And to add insult to injury — chocolate is one of the foods that is expected to rise most in price, due to increasing butter prices. Aalst Chocolate, a Singapore-based chocolate maker, told CNBC that it was forced to increase prices by 30 to 40 percent last year. You can also expect to pay more for breads, cereals and other wheat-based items, in response to a rise in wheat and wheat flour prices. And prices for pork could climb 5 percent or more.
Want some milk with that more expensive wheat-based cereal? Be prepared to pay more for it too. Milk and other dairy products are expected to increase in price for a while, according to the USDA. During the last part of 2013, the farm price for fluid milk rose 4.9 percent and the wholesale dairy index rose 1.1 percent. The USDA report suggests that retail prices will continue to rise, at least in the short term.
Handheld Electronics
The makers of electronic gadgets rely on minerals that must be sourced from the earth, and the supply of those minerals is "constricted by China for political reasons," Gregson says. "California will have a tough time reopening its mines for eco reasons. This means the price of electronic goods will rise."
Some Apple analysts have already predicted that the iPhone's next incarnation may cost $50 more than earlier models. (On the bright side: Blackberry's CEO just announced that his company hopes to lure iPhone customers away with the release of a new smartphone this year that will cost less than $200.)
The housing market began rebounding in 2013, with housing prices increasing 12.5 percent in October from the year before. If you're looking to buy a house this year, economists say you can expect to pay more than you would have last year. Economist John Burns predicts a 6 percent increase in housing prices in 2014. Others predict smaller increases in the actual cost of housing, but rising interest rates will likely make the out-of-pocket costs of purchasing a home go up.
During 2014, the prices for shipping services via the U.S. Postal Services are scheduled to rise by 4.2 percent. Beginning on January 26, the cost of a first-class stamp will rise three cents to 49 cents. However, you can save three cents per stamp by stocking up on "Forever" stamps before the price increase. That means you can buy stamps at the current price of 46 cents and they will remain valid forever.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (28 votes).
Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: Very tough 6 mile raceIn full: It was the hardest 6 mile race I have done, but I really enjoyed the challenge. The atmosphere coming into the finish was brilliant!Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: perfect 6 mile circuitIn full: Hated it last time loved it this time. To have a race within 2 miles of my house is quite novel. This ones perfect. Runners of a high standard mingle with us also rans and run a loop that climbs and dips like a roller-coaster.A good test of fitness and discipline. If you go to fast at the start you may be blowing bubbles up the gradual but relentless climb after four miles. Well organised but the course is the best feature of this race. Everyone should try and nail it at least once.Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: A challenging but enjoyable race + cake at the endIn full: On finding out this was a hilly race only 2 days before, I was a little apprehensive, but then again where I run I can't avoid undulating terrain. This seemed a very clubby race (admittedly I was with my club too), and a fairly small field, so again apprehensive at being at the back of the pack.Well, to sum up, yes it was a tough race, and don't think I've ever run down hills so steep, though uphills were ok, and the last half mile is a very quick downhill. My legs felt like they were running away from me, but WHAT A FINISH! Lots of cheering from everyone, and being able to run so quick into the finish (not like some where you can see the finish but it never seems to get closer).Best of all was getting a new PB by nearly 6mins was great. Cheap race but free cake would be a nice touch. Date of review: July 18, 2011
In short: stunning scenery, challenging hills, friendly receptionIn full: Will absolutely enter again next year, the last 300m are a fast down hill into a large well supporting crowd. Loved it !!Date of review: July 17, 2011
In short: A tough challenge, but well worth doing. It was stunning running through those beautiful villages.Date of review: July 17, 2011

I have to attribute the coloration to the All-Trumps.
Yep, see it most of the time. This happens when the dough dries. Keeping them covered helps to eliminate or minimize them if you find them objectionable.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
I wish I could elaborate further on those little blisters (looks like a case of heat rash), but we have never set about to study them in depth. We see them on well fermented dough, as well as frozen dough. They also seem to be more prevelant on lower absorption doughs. For these reasons, we have a feeling that they are in some way, associated with oxidation of the dough skin, but we haven't consucted a study where we have attempted to control them.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
today at acme(grocery store chain) i found some gold medal bread flour that is distrubuted by general mills. it is labled as unbleached, unbromated, enriched flour. protein content is 4g per 30g. ingredients are wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, iron, thiamin, mononitrate, riboflavin, and folic acid. 5lbs for 2.50 cents on sale!is this similar to the all trumps used above. if not, would it be similar to KA's Bread flour?
Peter --I went back to correct my yeast measurement, and according to a yeast-conversion table I downloaded from www.theartisan.net, 1 teaspoon of IDY weighs 2.7 grams. This would put my corrected yeast percentage at .177632%. You gave a corrected figure of .1982% for 1 teaspoon. May I ask what you used as a reference? Is that figure a result of your own personal weight measurements? Just curious in the interest of accuracy for future formulations.
MWTC --I've never done a side-by-side browning comparison of oiled vs unoiled dough or one with different kinds of oil. I've pretty much stuck with the EVOO for any of my pizza-related oil needs. Since my experience with the All-Trumps is a bit limited, I don't know whether to attribute that golden browning to the flour, oil, or a combination of the two. Perhaps Peter might have a more informed opinion than mine to contribute. TAKE IT AWAY, PETER!

Vice President Biden says it's too early to decide whether he will run for president in 2016 — there's too much left to do under President Obama.
"There are a whole lot of reasons why I wouldn't run," Biden told CNN. " I haven't made that decision and I don't have to make that decision for a while."
The veep added: "In the meantime, there's one thing I know I have to do no matter what I do. I have to help this president move this country to the next stage."
Speculation about Biden's political future highlighted Inaugural Weekend.
Biden himself fueled much of the talk, thanks to his appearance at an inaugural party for Iowans — who will open the 2016 contest with caucuses — to his animated handshaking during Monday's parade on Pennsylvania Avenue.
One factor in Biden's decision: Will soon-to-depart Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton also seek the presidency in three years?
"Look, I haven't made that judgment, and Hillary hasn't made that judgment," Biden said on CNN. "But I can tell you what, everything that should be done over the next two years that I should be part of what would have to be done whether I run or I don't run."
Again, he noted: " If this administration is successful, whoever is running as a Democrat is better position to win. If we are not successful, whoever runs as a nominee is going to be less likely to win."
