…so, last week “started” with the Wine Country Century – which pretty much just sucked all around – and the China Camp run, which actually wasn’t so bad since Kathryn and I got to share the time together. It’s nice to do a “buddy” thing where I didn’t feel my buddy was just treading water […]

Use Your Planks (& Your Grumpy Husband) To Your Advantage!
So. This morning I had an appointment at the mechanic at 10:00. I took the car in on time (a-ppoint-ment…), and was excited because my friend Sharyn was going to meet me at the mechanic’s, to go for my “scheduled” run together. We dropped off the keys at the appointment and (funnily enough), one of the […]
Tuesday/Wednesday workout; Playlist; Turkey and Bike Story
Last one first. You gotta read this story HERE – oh lord. And I thought I had turkey problems! Yesterday was a Swim ladder, and a Brick spin/run. I had a bunch of “clean up email” stuff to do, and “suddenly” it was 3:00 – time to get the whole thing in! So I strapped on […]
Wine Country Century & China Camp “Hike”
Saturday, H and I did our “big event” – the Wine Country Century. Click HERE for the route map. We went into this having been told it was a “moderate to easy” route, and so we figured that what we would be conquering was more the distance than the “geography.” Well, we were definitely misinformed. […]
Quick Update – China Camp bike with H, training.
After the Saturday swim with the Team, Sunday was a “honey do” day. H also wanted to get out and do a ride – since we have the 100 mile ride coming up on this Saturday. Thank goodness that we decided to go out and ride at 5:00 p.m. – because unbeknownst to us, the […]
Missy’s Country Music Marathon (longer post)
This was Missy’s longer post on the Country Music Marathon that she “completed” (see the writeup for why that comes with “bunny ears”) on Saturday. 22-Mile Marathon or not, she’s a rock star! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Yes, it has taken me 48+ hours to send out any news regarding the marathon weekend. Here it is. First, congratulations […]
S.F. Bay Aquatic Park Swim & Country Music Marathon; Run Marker
So, first, Missy’s update from doing the Country Music Marathon. Missy is my “Tennessee Teammate” – she found me via my blog, and we have been “training together” ever since. The best part was that I asked my IronTeam members to send her good luck emails for her race, and a bunch did. It meant […]
Some of my Favorite Videos (Triathlon, Inspirational, etc.)
Needed a little inspiration today – here are some of my favorites:
Swim Marker Update – OK I feel better now…
This was the email from Sedonia about the Swim Marker I did yesterday – I feel better now :-) – for some reason I can’t get the “titles” to go on or the columns to space correctly, but so it goes. The columns are: Marker, Distance, Time, Min (not sure what the difference is there), […]
Argh – Swim Marker slowin’ down…
Was out today to do a 2,000 swim marker – finished it in 42:18. I actually checked my watch when I was at my 1,000 and it was 21:14 – so I am pretty solid at that time. Teensy negative split. This means I’m actually slowing down. Grrr! And the funny part was that I […]
