Steelhead Race Report
My first 70.3 really wasn't even a 70.3! Yes, of course I've done other Half Ironman races, but this year's Steelhead Triathlon was technically my first "70.3". In the last few years, I've purposely chosen races that were NOT "70.3". But this isn't the post for that,...
MEZAMASHII!!!
OK, runners. How many of you know what I'm talking about when I say I get really EXCITED to run in a new pair of shoes? It didn't start that way, I used to think, "shoes are shoes" and just go get the pair in my size on sale at the local sporting goods...
Pleasant Prairie Race Report 2012
I first did the Pleasant Prairie triathlon back in...maybe 2006? Then I think I did it in 2008 and 2009. I've always done the International(Olympic) Distance. It used to be held in August. Once they moved it to the June date, which conflicts with the Tinley Park...

About 16 weeks post-surgery. I should be perfect. No such luck. Toe still bothers me. In my attempts to try and get it to calm down, I've been taping it up. Then what - my knee starts bothering me. I'm just falling apart! I refuse to accept this is how it's going to...
2012
Lots and Lots and Lots going on. First off, Swim-A-Poolooza 2012 is now in the books. What an awesome event. I say this not just because I organize it, but because I see the smiles, emotions, laughter, bonding and all the working hard as hell for 3 hours and 30...
