Still not working but I've been busy running. LOTS of running. But more on that in another post.
Here's a run though of 2014. This was actually a bunch of fun. I had a lot of good adventures (and beer). Here's to even more adventures in 2015!
January
New Years Day run at Roxborough State Park, skiing, kicking off my Colfax Marathon ambassadorship, and a work trip to Helena, MT (where I lived and worked as a Park Ranger in 1996)
 |
| I love this run and this group of people |
 |
| Ski shadow selfie at Winter Park |
 |
| Lots (and I mean lots) of stuff to give away |
 |
| interval run at the state park that I used to work at in Helena, MT |
February
Traditional Superbowl Ski weekend to Steamboat with family, Year 3 of Team SunRype, and a trip to New Orleans to see my new nephew. Oh, and our brewery finally opened!
 |
| family shenanigans |
 |
| this was probably a top 10 ski day. Powder to my knees all day! |
 |
| you know who to contact if you need fruit snacks... |
 |
| CLARK! |
 |
| I somehow managed to find triathletes AND a trail run in New Orleans. So much fun! |
 |
| finally!!! |
March
MORE skiing, a visit from cousins, the BEST beer fest I went to in 2014 and starting to ride outside more.
 |
| Greetings from Copper Mountain from the Trail-Dryden cousins |

 |
| Collaboration beer fest with friends |
 |
| post-Sept 2013 flood carnage of Jamestown Canyon in Boulder |
April
No more skiing (*sniff*), first ride up Deer Creek in 2014, and a (sucky) trip to Santa Fe for a cycling weekend.
 |
| first trip up the big hill. With exposed legs and arms, no less |
 |
| ski hill climb in Santa Fe. Sucky trip but pretty views. |
May
May was busy! A half marathon PR, a beer festival, Rinny and TO, hosting a bridal shower for my friend that married my cousin, more beer, and the first OWS of the year.
 |
| South Denver Beer Fest. Also: shorts in early May |
 |
| Tirimisu cupcakes for Deanna's bridal shower |
 |

 |
| Will and I goofing off with our finisher medals. 13.1 for me and marathon relay for him. |
 |
| more beer at our brewery |
 |
| first swim at the Gravel Pond |
June
June was *really* busy. IM training kicks into high gear. And a trip to Idaho for the Boise 70.3 and a family wedding.
 |
| Boise 70.3 test ride out by the family ranch |
 |
| blowing Will a kiss on the run course |
 |
| The race didn't go super great, but I did manage to get in a kick ass finish jump |
 |
| cousin shenanigans out in the desert. Will is a happy boy |
 |
| rode from my MIL's house to the South Hills. She thought I was crazy. |
 |
| ride in McCall, ID. I got snowed on at the top of the pass. |
 |
| Happy wedding, Chase and Deanna. :) |
July
aka IM hell month. Nothing fun happened here. Just a lot of running and riding in the heat. My first trail race (and trail-racing related bleeding). A memorial service for my best friend's husband in Winter Park gave me the opportunity for some altitude IM training. Oh, and I discovered pie milkshakes. Ok, maybe I had a bit of fun, looking back at things.
 |
| long hot run up Waterton. I had a friend keep me company and I *finally* got to see the big horn sheep |
 |
a 16 hour training weekend needs to end with pie milkshakes.
Still not sure what Will did to earn his though |
 |
| more Waterton. If you have to run long, the view should be nice |
 |
| first trail race and first trail flesh wound. 2 weeks before Boulder. eeps! |
 |
| I ran from Fraser to the base of Winter Park. Fun! |
 |
| roasting marshmallows |
 |
| it felt weird to be at MJ without my skis |
August
Ironman Boulder. Beer. A beer fest (this one kinda sucked) - and kombucha SCOBY. More beer. A viral plague, thanks to the Boulder Res. Domesticity in the form of pickles and painting and tiling.
 |
| mile ~100 at the top of the 3Bs |
 |
| as sucky as the race was, nothing beats a finish line in your home state |
 |
| former future |
 |
| comrade |
 |
| kombucha |
 |
| tri club ladies night |
 |
| former future release of our first spontaneous beer, which ended up winning bronze at GABF |
 |
| Zipper is a good Quality Control Cat |
 |
| pickles! |

| Buffalo Peaks Wilderness hike. I thought it was 7 or 8 miles. We hiked 13.5. oops. |
 |
| Weston Pass, CO |
 |
| trail run at Castlewood Canyon |

October
Another cousin wedding in Idaho, cousin shenanigans out at the ranch, a GABF victory for our brewery, wedding anniversary #15, and more hiking.
 |
| Bronze in the wild ale category, 8 months after we opened. This was HUGE |
 |
| Rocking Y Ranch. One of my happy places on this planet. |
 |
| no visit to the ranch is complete without redneck shenanigans. Cousin Jason built a sugar beet canon. 1000 feet! |
 |
| most of the Walker clan. I love these guys. |
 |
Anniversary fishing trip where I FINALLY caught a fish. One fish.
For the entire afternoon. With a guide on a boat. |

So fun! What a fantastic year! And, you have your OWN brewery?! Rad. Can't wait to brew my own booch! Happy 2015, Erin!
Yeah. Technically we're minority investors, but we like to think of it as "ours" (as opposed to other breweries that we have zero vested interest in).
