Another Brick, Another Day
The Expert and I went on a brick mission today: thirty-four mile bike ride and a three mile run. Oh, and ah-ha! Took the TMAT Pro for its maiden voyage today. Made the Expert try it out too. He said the TMAT officially made me block the entire transition area, keeping him from accessing his stuff. […]
Product Review – TMAT PRO
As a super blogger on TriCrowd (okay, so I added the “super”), I was approached to test and write a review for a new product: the TMAT PRO. If it’s free, then it’s for me!! Here comes the legal mumbo jumbo: I was given the product to test and in turn, I am writing a fair […]
Naked Naked Naked
I realized that I get alot more reads when I title a post with “naked.” Fooled ya. Okay, well, just because you visited, I have this for you. Now, aren’t you glad you stuck around? Apparently, people do ride bikes naked, and there’s a whole movement surrounding it. Okay. One more picture. This is […]
Peachy Photos
Well, we all know how awesome race photos can be. That being said… apparently, the Peachtree folks only caught me at the starting line with Mountain Goat…and at the finish… for posed pics. Despite my horrific grin in the above picture, and the level of cheesiness below…. Whew, I dodged a big bullet for […]
Outdoor Spin
I decided to make the forty minute trek to my favorite gym today to attend Mike McBlessings’ spin class. Mike is the founder of a super organization, the Getting2Tri Foundation, and he teaches spinning a few days a week. Today, Mike had rolled all the spin bikes outside near the pool. Outdoor spin class! Outdoor spin […]
Naked Co-Workers
Potentially awkward naked moment happened to me today. In my weightlifting days, I always changed clothes in front of people. Everyone did. But turns out in the “real” world, outside of competitive sports, not many people drop clothes in front of others in the locker rooms. “Normal” people apparently don’t appreciate it. So, I […]
Peachtree Road Race 2011
Today was my first Peachtree Road Race. Apparently, I could not call myself an Atlantian until I ran the Peachtree. Well, guess I officially live in the ATL now. Atlanta is hot. Understatement of the century. And this race was H-O-T. Hot hot hot hot. Hot. I met Mountain Goat at her condo in Midtown […]
Open Water Sunday
Today was only my fifth open water swim (ever). Much better than my first (for sure), and pretty successful overall. The Expert and I got a late start out to Lake Lanier. Ended up being a little crowd of “normal” beach goers (those with umbrellas, sans tri suit and goggles). We had a few […]
Spinning Etiquette
I love spinning class. I can’t get rides in during the week, so it’s the next best thing. But really, correction: I love spinning class with Coach Monster, McBlessings and a scant few others. I have had some bad spinning experiences to date, outside of my little Concourse Athletic Club bubble. Yes, a bad spinning instructor is […]
