Today was a rough day in a sort of awesome way. I swam well enough, exiting the water in 5th. Then I took the lead and dropped a 1:58:06 56mile bike split on my Cervelo P5 – which I am still having trouble believing. Two things contributed to the bike course being faster than previous […]

Christmas Karma
For Christmas this year I agreed (with myself) not to do gifts (the video below shows my one exception). I may have muttered this to a few people around me, but was secretly hoping that someone wouldn’t get the memo and would send me something awesome. Karma, however, was quick to bite me for that […]
Recovery
I’m sitting in my room watching last night’s episode of Lost with my legs up. This is the best part of morning workouts. What makes today particularly nice is that I am sipping on Clif Shot Recovery Hot Chocolate. It’s awesome for cold weather training. I get to rehydrate with hot cocoa! Yesterday I went […]
SFO –> SEA
I am back home. I’m not sure why I picked such a late flight out of Oakland, but now it’s midnight and I’m exhausted. The past two days were a jumble of quick hello’s and goodbye’s and I was squeezed paper thin trying to see as many people as possible in my final hours of […]
Crash, Burn, I almost got Chicked.
Honestly, Karma’s a b****. And for some reason it’s been catching up to me really quick lately. I made fun of Brian Davis for a giant pimple on his face, and that night I woke up with a volcano ready to erupt. Then I spent a week responding to wishes of "good luck" with "I […]
My Future’s so Dry, I Gotta Wear Socks
Treasure Island Triathlon is now a Duathlon. I have to say, the ecological damage the oil spill is doing means a lot more to me than the fact that I now have to run 6.5km really fast in order to get into a good group on the bike. All the poor birds! A little knowledge […]
Dude behind the Camera
In Lausanne last year I was lucky enough to have a video documentary taken of my experience. The goal was to provide video footage for USAT to use in making a film about a first-timer’s trip to a world championship. It would have turned out really well, except that I crashed, and it’s not exactly […]
All-Comers Swim Meet
This pictures has nothing to do with the post. I just think it’s funny to see Jillian laughing as I tell her to hurry up and win us some beer money. Last night I raced in the University of Washington All-Comers Swim Meet. It was awesome. I did the fly leg of the 200 medley […]
Blind Reincarnate
I had a plan for a post of my own for today. Actually, I was hoping Brian could share how exactly he managed to break his wrist and end up owing me $85, but he can’t type (or ride a bike over railroad tracks, apparently). Last night, while my wrist ached with empathy pains, I […]
Getting Home
I wanted to let Aaron’s accomplishments stand at the top of my recent posts for the time it deserves, but our trip home together has been a journey that I have to write about. Sunday afternoon, after celebrating with pros, Brian Fleischmann, Brandon Rakita, Chris Foster, John Dahlz, and Jillian Petersen (Above) Aaron and I […]
