You never know where the day will take you.
That’s what I spent the morning hours of last Monday thinking, as I frantically–even more so than usual; )–packed my race gear and bike, along with a few swimsuits, flip flops, and board shorts. Oh, and my passport.
To say that Malaysia 70.3 was a…
Gear bags are packed, bikes are checked in, last minute shake out swim/bike/runs are done. Now it’s just time to hurry up and wait till morning. I’m fortunate to have some good company, friends and fellow athletes Haley Cooper and Mark van Akkren. To kill the time, we’ve posted up at the…
I have not been good. Not even mediocre about this whole blogging thing lately. Just like endurance sport, blogging for me is all about rhythm & right now, I’m the blogger equivalent of the seriously dorky white dude on the dance floor.

Better still, before I even hit the sack, my bike was already assembled by my awesome hosts who are not only race volunteers,…

I spent the better part of the morning drooling. Not over the beautiful day, though it was beautiful. Not over my riding partner’s strength on the bike, though Kate Major is one of the best athletes in the sport and a total badass on the bike. (Ok, maybe I was drooling over her, just a…
Yesterday I got the get-back-to-work phone call from Coach. Actually, to be honest, I initiated the call. It’s been a nice break, but I am more than ready to get back at it.
