AM - 9 miles, lots of loops on the grass at the horsepark.

PM - 4 miles.

We decided to nix the ski plans for today, since it wouldn't have been good for Andrea's hamstring. So I spent the day cleaning / organizing gear, lounging by the pool (plotting adventures), and then we went bowling. Rolled 302 for 2 games (149-153), slightly better than the 295 from last month. At this rate I'll be a pretty good bowler by 2018.

Here's the full results of the bowling showdown. The take-home points are that the Murphys are a very strong bowling family, Fritz is unstoppable the day after a marathon, and when Allie hits the wall in bowling, it goes downhill fast :-)

Fiddy - 82 - 97
Allie - 83 - 37
Redd -  100 - 101
Jake - 149 - 153
Andrea - 85 - 119
Fritz - 160 - 155
LuluWalls - 97 - 81

And the Murphys (on the bumper lane!)...

Abby - 127 - 86
Andy - 90 - 105
Anne - 123 - 144
Rob - 138 - 131 

No mountain pictures today, but a couple hours of this is good for the soul too...

That's about what I bowl. My bowling PR is 209. However we went with some friends on Friday night and I dropped a 60! WTF. It was dark and "cosmic bowling" so hard to see the arrows on the floor but still very humbling.

Awww jealous of the outdoor pool!

From Jake K on Sun, May 20, 2012 at 19:05:28 from 67.182.215.126

haha clyde it takes a major lack of focus/effort to bowl a 60! :-)

Bur we weren't really USING the bumpers!

From Jake K on Sun, May 20, 2012 at 19:31:57 from 67.182.215.126

I will agree that I don't consider your performance (or Anne's) totally aided.

From SlowJoe on Sun, May 20, 2012 at 19:32:17 from 69.131.141.92

Wow, runners are really bad bowlers. I never knew that. 37, wow!

Jake - Rio de Janerio, 2016, you could be part of the US team if you could only double your score or so.

From Fritz on Sun, May 20, 2012 at 21:18:38 from 67.182.226.25

Clyde, I hate those cosmic bowling places too. Luckily the place we go to hasn't changed in 30 years.

Nice bowling Jake.

Rob- You and Anne would be a good bowling team.

From Lulu Walls on Sun, May 20, 2012 at 21:39:38 from 166.70.240.95

Oh crap. If I knew the scores would be published I would have stopped the chatting and focused. Good thing no one knows my real name...

OMG, 37! was this person playing blindfolded? how embarrassing is that.

From allie on Sun, May 20, 2012 at 21:54:41 from 174.23.154.194

also, i didn't realize the high elevation at olympus hills until we stepped back outside. i definitely think that contributed to the crash. i also didn't take a gu between games. live and learn.

Thanks for posting the bowling results. I wanted to make it but it wasn't in the cards today.

Oh man, here I was thinking I was living it up at Snowbird when the real show was just down the hill at the bowling alley! If I'm having a good day and have taper and fueled well I can hit a 100+...otherwise, I'd need to be in the bumper lane - or competing against Allie :)

From Jake K on Mon, May 21, 2012 at 08:22:17 from 155.100.226.54

I think the altitude makes a difference. The conversion for a 37 when you take it down to sea-level is 41.

RAD - out theory is that your best game of bowling is going to be after a 12+ month layoff from the sport, when you are completely carbo-loaded. :-)
