A Low Speed Tip Over! So What?
This was a great share from my friend, Yoda… the 7 Habits of People with Mental Toughness. I read it this afternoon coming off an almost-50-mile ride with Coach Brett where I almost broke apart and into a million little pieces. And I had a Low Speed Tipover (LST) at a stop light. We were […]
The Same Silver Comet Curse and a Constant Balancing Act
Last year, I wrote a post about the famous (er, infamous) Silver Comet Trail (SCT), and it was called The Silver Comet Curse. A little adventure on Saturday solidified the fact that I am never showing up to that blasted place again. At the trail, I met one of my athletes , ZM (real name […]

A Coach T-Bone Post about Bike Trainers: “I’m A Thousand Miles From (To) Nowhere”

How to Speak Triathlon (and a few SBM terms!)
One of my good SBM Army members suggested that I compile a list of “triathlon vocabulary” and post it. I already had a big list in the book, but I thought I’d repost and add something here. Hope it helps! (And feel free to tell me what I missed so I can add to the […]
Getting to Know Andy Potts
First of all, I cannot believe that this happened. What a GREAT weekend–thank you All3Sports, Dynamo and Andy Potts–not only did I get to meet my favorite boy triathlete, but I learned SO much. Between the Q&A last night and the Swim Clinic today, I’m just blown away. So thank you all. The Q&A at […]
