Life Really Does Get in The Way

March 7th, 2010 · No Comments

I know, I know, I’ve been terrible at getting stuff posted. What can I say, other than what I’ve already said in the past; life gets in the way at times.
Things have been a bit hectic lately and as a result some things have been suffering. That includes my time to write any [...]

Working on The Racing Schedule

February 7th, 2010 · No Comments

So I’ve managed to pick out a few races that I want to and I’ve also narrowed down at a least a few weekends that I want to race; I just need to decide which race.
One of the tougher decisions, that I believe I’m getting closer to making, is how hard do I want to [...]

Swimming Requires a Lot of Technique

December 6th, 2009 · No Comments

And proper technique requires a lot of training.
Ergo, if you stop training you can lose that technique very quickly. And I just discovered that the hard way this past Saturday when I got in the pool for the first time in over 2 months.
The lack of training hurt my running a bit, but overall [...]

Well, I had 2 main goals for the Devil’s Lake triathlon and I managed to hit both of them.
I only mentioned one of them last week, but I had two that I really wanted to accomplish.

Nutrient is important!

September 13th, 2009 · No Comments

I’ve said that before and I’ll probably it again. But it’s worth mentioning again since I seem to need to remind myself from time to time.
Not that I always remember to listen to my own advice or knowledge, but I try.
But proper nutrient is important whether you are talking about a race or training, [...]

Well, as the season winds down we approach the biggest race of the year. The one that Shelly and I train for all year long.
It is our nemesis and yet at the same time the race we look forward to every year now as well.

Cyclists – Follow The Rules of The Road!

August 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

I can’t emphasis that statement enough. In an earlier post I talked about sharing the road with bikes; a common problem so prevalent that you see the bumper stickers all the time about it.
But what you don’t see (at all as far as I can recall) is any bumper stickers about cyclists following the [...]

The Waupaca Area Triathlon

August 17th, 2009 · No Comments

Well, we went up there, did the race, celebrated our anniversary and had a blast!
This race is now right up there with our all time favorites and we will definitely be going back there next year to do it again.
It was very well organized with what seemed like more volunteers than there were triathletes. [...]

Anniversary Triathlon 12 | 1

August 9th, 2009 · No Comments

What do you get you get when you have two people who are married and hooked on triathlons? Well, if their anniversary is during the triathlon season then it seems to be a no brainer that they run a race together. Right?

Where A Helmet, Save A Life…

August 2nd, 2009 · No Comments

Yours!
Well, I’ve had a few too many things going on the last 2 weeks that I haven’t had a chance to blog about this until now.
But a couple of weeks ago I dumped my bike and took a serious header in the process.
The only thing that saved me from any kind of serious injury and [...]
