Paddy's Pub Shillelagh Shuffle 3 Mile and the Climbing Gym!

Julia banged out a good race at Paddy's Shillelagh Shuffle (Julia is Irish????) and took first place in her age group last Sunday while a bunch of us had a blast at the Watertown rock gym climbing for a few hours with Gunther and Doro.  I know when to show up for the really fun stuff and hanging out, quite literally, with the best ski team! (Photos from Doro)

And scampering up the wall!

Lots of climbing going on

Belaying and watching.  Who's the old fart?

CSU Rules the walls!
