Well some insane person (me) signed up for a second 70.3 race in one year. After doing the Ironman 70.3 Texas triathlon in April…. I signed up for the Oilman 70.3 race in November. Why? Well, after cheering us on in Galveston in April, my sister’s sister-in-law, Melanie, was inspired to try a 70.3 race […]
This is the second year I’ve done the Seattle Rock n’ Roll 1/2 Marathon. I really do love this race. I can see it would be fun traveling to other cities to do a Rock n’ Roll race. It is well organized, nice swag, and super nice medals. I am hoping to do the Chicago […]
[brightcove vid=30865127001&exp=1699266750&w=300&h=225] I’ve never had to fix my own flat tire. Out of the thousands of miles I’ve ridden, I’ve only gotten a flat ONCE!

3:30 AM. I’m up and panicking about cut off times. The closer we get to the date of my 70.3 triathlon, the more information gets sent. Just 5 more days to go. The first setback is that my swim wave, the 40-44 year old women, leaves LAST. This means that I won’t have any “buffer” […]
If you haven’t seen this video yet… you should. It’s a great act of sportsmanship. Which is the way it should be. Always. To make your goals… you have to have to have a little help from your friends. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaXVk5GBx-s?rel=0&w=480&h=390]
My April 10th race is pretty much all I have thought about since November. Of course there is the usual work, family, home life, kids, friends, etc. to keep up with… but every time I go to the gym, I have April 10 – 70.3 on the brain. I have a calendar where I map […]
