Wednesday Wisdom
What I’ve learned today: I can put everything into training, and usually, the reward is pretty good. Get what you give / the reciprocity principle / the Golden Rule / what have you.I don’t have any real Wednesday wisdom other than: listen to the body. And when the body is sporting these kind of under-eye bags, the […]
Ugly Ugly Ugly!
Here is the latest installment in ugly race photos. This has been such a hoot, there will be a permanent link up soon. These will include the reader submitted captions, which really, is the funniest part. As a point of clarification: THESE PHOTOS ARE READER-SUBMITTED PHOTOS.

Forget the Uglies
Okay, yes, I will still give away the Uglies swimsuit, but I am going to have a hard time picking the winner. And really, this little contest has turned into something way better.

Kick, Stretch and Kick… I’m FIFTY!
Well, I did it. I rode fifty miles. My time was 3:10:24, an average of 15.5mph. A few observations about the half-century distance: 1) ouch; 2) owie; and 3) owwwwwwww (&*@&#!). I felt pretty darn good at mile thirty. But by thirty-eight, my legs were hating me. Not to mention my girl parts. And I […]
Zooooooom (That was Fast!)
Hit the pool early this morning for a fifty minute continuous swim workout. I decide to push as hard as I could stand and put down a 2 mile swim (3250 meters). I finished in just under fifty-seven minutes, hitting the one mile right at thirty minutes. Obviously, I picked up the pace on the […]
