5 Day Countdown
I haven’t blogged much. Because I haven’t done anything worth blogging about. In fact, I don’t even have something good and solid to complain about. Oh wait, that’s not true. [I have lots to complain about.] But, as five days until 70.3 is ticking down, I realize I have alot more to be thankful for. I really […]
Come One, Come All
I have been asked to be a part of this year’s USAT Southeast Symposium here in Atlanta, on November 5th at the OMNI Hotel. I am so excited. Excited is an understatement, really. Following the close of the event at 6:00 (and following the closing session with double amputee and two time Ironman, Scott Rigsby) we […]
Taper Schmaper
The word taper sounds like “tapeworm” to me. I wish I had a tapeworm – that would be more bearable than the taper. And the benefits of tapeworm are skinniness. The benefits of the race taper are pure insanity, mild depression and serious doubt. Oh, and rested legs, hydration and whatever. This morning, I […]
love true love
The Expert and I have been married 10 years tomorrow. I am posting this today because he is convinced that we were married on the 18th of October, 2001. We were married on October 19th. I pointed him to our invitation. It’s all some big conspiracy theory, he says. To which I respond: if today is […]
Stop! Hammertime
So I went to spin this morning. I showered. I put on my cardigan. Then I put on the Expert’s pants. What?!? Oh yes. I accidentally brought his pants to the gym. His black dress pants. Hammertime! Check it out. (The quality of the photo is brightened in order to show you the goodness of the […]
Wetsuit Part Tres
I have only swam in a wetsuit three times. Why? 1) Georgia’s got some pretty warm water (sometimes); 2) Haven’t encountered a wetsuit race (yet); and 3) Because I *@#$!^& hate my wetsuit, and I would rather grow icicles from my eyeballs and enter the starting stages of hypothermia than wear it. Ugh. I hate the way […]
Change Happens
Like it or not, things change. People change. Places change. Lives are altered in split seconds, by bad decisions, by non-decisions… by simple little twists of timing. Two weeks from tonight, the Expert and I are going to be eating a carbed-up meal, hydrating like crazy, and preparing to sleep on the night before our […]

Look at this crazy contraption. This is Trigger Point Performance Therapy‘s product, The Grid. And Swim Bike Mom readers can save 10% (details below). Now, The Grid is not to be confused with the traditional foam roller. The Grid is the traditional foam roller’s hot, younger sister. (Super Hot Younger Sister – The Grid) Love at First Lay. Er, […]
Working It Out
Went to my favorite spin class this morning. Just kidding. But it’s not my favorite. (Actually, nothing will ever top spin instructor who taught with his eyes closed the entire class…. anyway). The mix1 raffle is over, and in case you guys missed it, SBM friend Karen W. won the gear, as picked by Rafflecopter. […]
