A black bike says don’t f*ck with this guy. It’s like having the worst of Satan and the best of Jesus in one bike. You suck the life from other rides and it goes …

Oct 14, 2008I almost feel this is a waste of a supreme title such as this on a post this time of year, but it is appropriate. This is also a blatant rip off from Jeff Keils Blog. Anyways.

Read MoreNew PR!
Sep 8, 2008Had a PR today at Ironman Wisconsin. Went 9:46:01. 32 seconds faster then IMAZ last spring. What’s impressive is that Wisconsin has a much tougher course IMO. 52/5:26/3:19 + 7 minutes or so for Transition. I finished 30th overall and 5th in my age group. The preliminary slot breakdown is only 4 slots, but it could …
