2011 - The Ugly

Looking back at 2011, I don't think anything went truly ugly. I learned that Clif Bar is no longer making my favorite recovery drink but when I contacted them, they sent me sample Clif Roks which are now one of my favorites.

The closest thing to ugly was the water in the Potomac when I went to do the Nation's Triathlon in DC. After torrential rains and a hurricane, the Potomac was muddy with a lot of debris. To their credit, the race cancelled the swim and other than running through the muddy transition area, everything else was perfect.

About the only ugly thing was the case of distemper that attacked the kittens we were fostering. Without the valiant efforts of a few people thinks could have been horrible. As it was a few kittens didn't survive but it could have been so much worse.

On a scale of 0 - 10 with 10 being Cthulhu ugly, 2011 was a 3.
