Tri-Tip Tri-Top Challenge...

Yes, it may hit 90 today while I'm on the hills to compete in the Challenge. Three local hikes in San Luis Obispo County in four hours or less. The payoff, a delicious Tri-Tip Sandwich or probably Tri-Tip salad at Firestone Grill downtown. First, it's Cerro San Luis, a lot of people in this town call it Madonna Mountain...the next is Bishops Peak...the final The P on Cal Poly's campus. I've done the first two. Cerro probably will take a little over an hour. Bishops about an hour as well. The P, I have no idea, I've never done it before. I figure, since I'm not running the First Annual San Luis Obispo Marathon, I needed to do a physical challenge too. Seeing as that I'm climbing Yosemite's Half Dome on May 27th, I need to be ready for anything! I've got gels and mini cliff bars from Pismo Beach Athletic Club to take on the hills. I'm freezing a couple bottles of water and then bringing a few snacks for the car in between stops. I think the biggest question is 'can we get it done in four hours or less?' The driving from place to place, the quick clothing changes and the 'I gotta pee' breaks, we shall see. I'll post pictures somewhere and tell the stories in the next chapter of...Tri-Tip Tri-Top Challenge. Stay tuned... Oh yeah, if I don't make it in under four hours, I have to wear a life size toothbrush costume all day and at a Cal Poly Baseball game, mortifying for sure!!!
