Sports Chiropractic and ART Therapy
Sponsored Post. FTC Disclosure Here. I have posted many times on social media that I have been “saved” by my friend, “Dr. Miracle Man Hands” (a/k/a Dr. Hamid Sadri of 1st Choice Sports Rehab). As a coach and a triathlete, I often recommend sports chiropractic (which here includes ART – Active Release Therapy) to my athletes […]

“How to Survive Anything” – A Post about Fear
The Swim Bike Family headed to the lake yesterday for a little morning of fun, open water swimming and wetsuit testing, to be followed by lunch and a stop by Cabela’s (a/k/a where all things are Southern, fishing, hunting and camouflage). The Expert has decided that they (and I mean they) are going camping; so there were camping […]
What I Weigh and The Other Numbers
I have decided to share my data numbers regarding my measurements, clothing sizes, and weight. People have asked. People have doubted. People have said that I don’t understand them because I am “skinny” and near my goal weight. (I enjoy that last one!) So here they are. I have lost almost 10% body fat. I have lost […]
One Thing to NEVER Say to a Tapering Triathlete
Here it is… The one thing to NEVER say to a tapering triathlete. (And chances are… it’s been said!) (For a companion post on how we, as triathletes, should hold up our end of the bargain, check out yesterday’s blog.) And…drumroll please: “I will be SO glad when this race is over and everything can go back to […]
Why Triathletes Rival Toddlers on a Scale of One to Selfish
As I rounded the corner to almost-taper this weekend, I thought about interesting things that happen during this pre-race twilight zone. Triathlon race season is a crazy time for the athlete and the family of the triathlete. Our significant others and family have undoubtedly been making sacrifices for us to make it to the start line. Sometimes these sacrifices are […]
The Romanticizing of a Monster
Addiction is a hideous thing. And alcohol addiction is a real pain in the ass, the wallet, the waistline and the mind. Some of us can have a lovely glass of wine with dinner. Others of us, well… nothing less than a martini and a bottle of pinot grigio. ABC News anchor Elizabeth Vargas just yesterday bravely shared […]
That Damn Business of “I Am Enough”
“Girl, you better get your head right,” said our strength trainer at the conclusion of group strength today. This was after we were supposed to do some crazy ass ab/pike/thing with a giant blue ball. I put my feet on it, and proceeded to almost break my knees and face via the floor. (I am not his […]
