POWER!!!

Another post from guest Swim Bike Dad blogger, Phil… Last Saturday was both awesome and awful at the same time.   Well, it was mostly awesome…with just a splash of awful thrown in to keep it real and keep me from fully climbing atop my “high horse”.  Humility is a be-otch but we all need […]

Guest Post: The Road Less Traveled

This is a guest post from Swim Bike Dad guest blogger, Phil…  You learn a lot from your first tri.  Well, actually, you learn something from every race.  But your first tri is a treasure trove of information!  What to do, what NOT to do, what to wear, what NOT to wear.  Most of all, you learn […]
