Happy Rainy Monday Evening Everyone!

Today was a monumental day for the Zoomzer family! The site is almost ready - yes, we say that a lot - the first beta launch has been sent out to a few family members and the bugs are coming in.

Later this week when we get time we'll start blogging more about local racing events. As Winter is wrapping up the roads are once again filled with cyclists preparing for Spring's races. The pool is packed again and the muddy trails are full of smiling runners. Many of our friends are getting ready for April's Big Sur Marathon. Zoomzer will be there cheering on all the runners and getting in some promo time. Speaking of Big Sur, stop by www.zoomzer.com to leave a review of the race. I don't think any one has left a review yet. Be the first!

Another popular race is just around the corner - the Wildflower race series. First weekend in May all us crazy triathletes will be down at Lake Nacimiento braving the crazy Cal Poly kids, the hills and wind, and the stupidity of sleeping in a tent before a half Ironman race. Idiotic really. Again, stop by www.zoomzer.com to leave your review of either the Wildflower Mountain Bike Sprint, the Olympic triathlon, or the half ironman. Sorry, someone has already left a review or two, but you can be the third.

Happy training everyone. Stay safe, wear your helmets, watch out for crazy drivers. We can't wait to see you all at the races!

More work than we expected

I'd be curious to know the average time of day that most people blog. I am going to make a guess and say that 90% of blogging happens after 10pm and before 2am. I think it's threefold - first, it is usually the only time of day that is slow enough to have time to blog; second, blogging is a great way to stall going to bed; and three, this time of night is often folk's most creative hour. Know the lamest part? I've done two blog posts in almost three months and I am acting like I am some regular blogger. That is officially lame. I am lame.

So another Zoomzer update. We are getting so close, I can't believe it. Site went live today and we are working though all the bugs. We're hoping to do a beta launch within a week. Just gotta get the ad networks up and running. Oh yeah that, plus work full time on our other jobs, train/exercise (what the hell is that, I don't do that anymore - i can't believe I've actually trained for Ironmans, I don't even walk 5 minutes a day now), commute, study for GMAT, apply to grad school, get second thoughts about applying to grad school. Do I follow my dreams and apply to Oxford, Cambridge or INSEAD? Or do I play it safe and save my hard earned money, which pays all those damn mortgages, and go to San Jose State or Santa Clara? Or do I blow the whole wad and apply for the two year program at Stanford. Why am I such an education brand elitist? Why am I rambling about grad school on our athletic review website blog? See post above about what time it is.

So, I am going to try and do this more frequently. Yeah right.

Let the games begin!

Welcome to our blog! It's been months in the making, but Zoomzer.com is almost up and ready for business. After almost a year of dreaming and haggling with developers there will finally be a place on the web where athletes all over the world can post reviews of their races and leave racing tips for future participants.

I've never maintained a blog before, actually I've been highly turned off by the concept. Yet here I sit on a wet, chilly NorCal Friday afternoon writing to no one in particular about nothing in particular. Oh blogs, how did this happen to me? So bare with me as I learn the hang of this. I'll start posting more regularly and will look for some interesting 'sport' news to share. The plan is to start finding news about marathon, Ironmans, 10Ks, running news, racing news, etc. etc. Again, I have no clue where to begin, so I guess I just begin...

Merry Christmas!
