Pre-Race:

After a pair of major breakthroughs at Kona and IMAZ last year, I set some admittedly lofty goals for myself this year at Kona. One of those goals was to finish in the top 5 in my Age Group; I figured a performance along the lines of IMAZ would put me in strong contention for this.

We arrived on …

I’ll post my race report shortly, but the long story short race report is such:  Race week was magical and glittery.  The few short efforts on the bike and run were a piece of cake.  My typical pre-race 1,000 for time on Monday was crazy – 11:17 @ 1,000 SCY and 12:25 @ 1,100 SCY (basically 1,000 SCM).  That …

Hi again!

Now that the Triple T has come and gone, I can say that the 2012 triathlon (race) season is officially underway, and thus far it has been a grand success.  I managed to have a great weekend of racing at the TTT, doing it as a Solo for the first time since 2006.

The next race on the docket will either be Lake …

I set a new PR for the half marathon at the beginning of April (1:19:24).  I’m quite pleased by that time.  Now that I’ve finally broken …
