Flat Out Ridiculous
Tonight commenced the first annual Swim Bike Mom event: Me Change Tubes 2011. Okay, so I have changed a tire tube. Twice. In my entire life.

H20 Tunes
As you know, the folks at H20Audio asked me to write a review of some of their products. I was uber excited. I had been trying to decide which underwater apparatus to purchase, so I was thrilled to give H20Audio’s products a try. Plus, I really love music. And swimming. So swimming + music = love, true love. Basically, the […]
Ridin’ Solo
Sometimes the hardest part about triathlon is moving forward when you’re riding solo. When you are the only spinner in the room, there is no music, the lights are dim, and it’s 4:30 in the morning. Or, the only bike on the road. The only runner on the path. The craziest lonely fish in the […]

Wednesday Wisdom: Diet Derailleurs
Beware the diet deraillieurs. (Oh, you like the bike humor.) Yes. Diet busters lurk all over the place. But really, what is the biggest diet buster of all? Here are the clues: sweet, but not chocolate pint sized, but not ice cream delicious, but not edible [Insert scary music here] The biggest diet derailleurs are…. ….children. […]
Running is Crack
Yesterday was recovery, which I should have loved. Especially after the tough week of training, plus crazy race up Mount Everest. But yesterday, I was in a foul mood….all…day…long. I even woke up today in a foul mood. The mood continued until lunchtime, when I broke away from the office humdrum for a 2700m swim at the pool. After the swim, […]
