Sixteen Tons

It is probably a good thing we didn't know how much work it is just to get ready for PQ. Everybody is doing something with the gear list and training.
It's a good sign however. The workload has just split up without much discussion. That means that the team is on the same wavelength.
Lisa is working on the climbing gear, it seems easy, just get what is on the list. But no. She has to go to this site for this piece and then over there, then the ropes guy says "no you need this" then this one isn't right. Granite Sports has been great in helping us out.
Haven did the early research on gear and the best prices,and him and Lisa got the trip to Moab for the ropes course together. And he is dealing with a new puppy at home.
Paulette is working on the kayaking gear and setting up the weekend training sessions (and putting up with her new computer geek)
Of course Jason (aka FNG) isn't doing much. Just looking for gear and money and packing to move. Slacker.
Of course they all are working, training 3/4 hours a day and trying to be somewhat normal (?).
The good news is that the race will be easy compared to getting ready.

Thanks for reading
Now go play in a coal mine
