…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 […]
triathlon training
Swing Low…Sweet Chaaariot…
Today we were back to Lake Del Valle in Livermore. I gathered up my “Lil’ Lady” Iron Mel, Moddie the Tree Frog, our 3 bikes, bike trainers, wetsuits, various paraphernalia, and off we went from the Larkspur Ferry Terminal at 6:15 a.m. We arrived and had a “pay it forward” moment – Jim K. had […]
Swim N Spin…Alligator Arms…& a new You Know You’re Iron When…

Bike Marker at Nicasio Reservoir & More “You Know You’re Iron When…”
Sunday was the Bike Marker, after the Swim and Run Markers on Saturday. H came with me, and we met Mentor Margaret, Moddie The Tree Frog (smile), Bike Coach Les and Jennifer at Nicasio. It had been really super nice weather when we left the house (about 55 degrees), but as we wound our way […]
Who Was Yasso, Anyway?

Tennessee Valley Run with Paula
Today we were to do Strength Training (I think), and then do another Run/Walk combo for about 40 minutes (5 min/1 min). It was a “buddy run,” and Paula, another lawyer I’d met at the Kickoff, and I met at Tennessee Valley. Paula is an old hand at this – she actually did the Lavaman […]
