- One of the races I was really looking forward to this year is done and gone. I don’t know why, but I get a huge kick out of the Lake Mills Sprint, I’ve done some other sprint races and I just don’t enjoy myself – I think they are to hard. Lake Mills though, I’ve got a soft spot for. It’s a short and sweet race with a …
Read More - Well June is the month I planned to spend a lot of time racing. In the 5 week span between Memorial Day and July I have 4 races. The DeSoto American Triple-T, Lake Mills Sprint Tri, Rockman Triathlon, and the High Cliff Half Ironman. Busy month. While it will be great fun racing that much, it doesn’t leave a lot of …

My wife and I went to our Tri club’s group ride last night for a 34 mile or so hilly ride. The group I road with put me in some good hurt. I tried to give as good …

Read More - Well I’m officially done recovering from Ironman Arizona – at least according to the training plan. Looking back at Arizona I’m still amazed at how well I did. It was by no means a perfect race, but wow – 9:46 with a flat tire. Not only that I wasn’t even phased when I got the flat. A year or two ago I would have been …
