I wasn’t trying to do anything but have fun with my final series of four races over the last five weeks. I was disappointed in myself after IM 70.3 Worlds. Not really because of how I finished, but because of my attitude. Somewhere on that course I lost the fire and the fun, and focused […]
Confidence is such an elusive thing. As soon as you grab onto and try to hold on, it wriggles away. And there is no race like Vegas to chase it away from me. I’d been feeling good about my efforts this year in training, racing, nutrition, beer discovering, etc. and felt ready and excited to […]
Just realized I hadn’t written down any of my take-homes from Nationals, which was almost two weeks ago. At least now I’ll probably remember only the good things and totally forget the bad. I was a pretty late entry into Nationals, when I realized I couldn’t pass up the excuse to go to Milwaukee. As […]
Not every race will go as planned, and I’ve learned that many can be very surprising. Endurance races hold both good and bad surprises, but ones I can learn from all the same. And really, any time I can be healthy and outside, racing until it hurts, it’s a good day. Any any time I […]
Since I’ve been trying to up my triathlon game this season, I’ve tried a few new things. Coach G has been mixing it up in the workout department, I’m on a steady diet of Pur Pak, Bonk Breakers and beer (that’s not new) and I’ve been dedicating more effort to strength training. I can thank […]
I can usually tell how a race is going to go by the song I start singing to myself during the bike. Something filled with teenage angst, Linkin Park for example, is not a good omen. Jazz, or singer/song writer types, likewise are no good. Norah Jones or Ella Fitzgerald, while strong beautiful women, don’t […]
With the first big race of the year done (IM 70.3 St. George) and my spot in the 70.3 World Championships secured, I’ve been looking ahead to the rest of the season. My winter training was mostly focused on getting that Vegas slot in the first race, to relieve pressure from the remaining IM races. […]
My first triathlon of the 2013 campaign is done and dusted. I raced the Rage Olympic Distance Triathlon at Lake Mead, NV on Saturday. The race provided a chance to test fitness and practice on a course similar to St. George, where I’ll compete in my first 70.3 of the year in two weeks. The […]
Make no mistake about it, I don’t just represent and support the product, or the company, I wholeheartedly believe in it, and in the people who created it. Pur Pak is the real deal. A multi-vitamin that gives me 95% of what I need from supplements in a single package. Word through the grapevine is that […]
Talk about a product that’s getting a lot of attention . . . for me it started small: I’d see a drink bottle at the end of the swimming pool lane, or a logo on a white cycling kit around Santa Monica, and now I’m witnessing for myself the difference that daily vitamins and mineral […]
