The past five days my coach has delivered some wonderful presents. That is to say, high intensity workouts. I’m now starting the final week of a five week training block leading up to the Geneva Continental Cup (aka Musselman Triathlon) in New York and the NYC Triathlon eight days later. My training block started off […]

Ok, I don’t want to do a list of 53 not so funny things that make yesterday my favorite holiday, but the number refers to one reason this years July 4th was awesome. It’s a product line called Nutrition53, created by Bill Romanowski, that I’ve been sampling the last few weeks. Thursday night I talked […]

Today I posted for the first time to the Garmin Blog. It was all about my new Garmin Edge 705, and the longest story ever about a 15 minute bike ride. I just wish I had some pictures of me standing on the side of the road, wearing a Speed Racer jersey. It was my […]

I’m having to remember how to post to my blog without MS Live Writer. it’s not hard, but when I’m using other people’s computers I can’t add pictures I’ve taken. Among the events where I took pictures that will not be posting until I’m back in Seattle tomorrow is the Mt. Diablo Hill Climb Time […]

Socially, this is quite challenging because 80% of the good stories I have from the past year, which I would normally use as ice breakers when I meet somebody, have already been told. […]
