This is the second time I’ve tried to write this (the IE window got closed on the first try).
Fortunately for you that means all the boring garbage I wrote about the days before the race will get surmised into this:
- Mary swam with me in the lake without a wetsuit, she’s tough!
- The desert botanical gardens are …
Read More- It’s very close to the race now, so close that I can feel it. In fact one week from know it will all be over. In fact one week from now I’ll be sitting at the awards dinner chowing on some good food. I’ll know the results of the race, how I did, how others did. And it will all be in the past. I’ll have a nice week of …

14 days. It’s been a long cycle so far, and that’s all that’s left. My training is pretty much done – at this point there are only a few more days of potential fitness gains before the race, after that all I can do is tire myself out.
Training has been going pretty good. I’ve had some rough days – mostly …
Read MoreHave had a couple great workouts since my last post. Good to the point where it makes you nervous.
To start with yesterday I had a great swim in the morning – a broken Ironman distance (3×150 EZ + 2×250,2×500,1×750, 1×1000). The main set was fast – I got through 1500 meters in 19 minutes swimming time, and finished up …

Read More- Sorry for the delay in the updates, between being sick, juggling life, and training keeping my website up to date. On the sicky front my cold has moved from a normal cold to being all in my sinuses. From the viewpoint of impacting my training – there’s hardly any impact any more. My sinuses tend to drain after I get …
Read More Well after spending most of last week successfully avoiding getting sick (while having a great week of training), I got nailed yesterday. I’m not sure if I got it because it was just strong then me, or if my race + super long weekend is what did me in…
Regardless, I got sick and as a result my swim today, and my 20 …
Read More- Well it’s been a few days since I’ve posted an update. Things have been good to great on the training front, although I’m still fighting to keep the cold at bay. My bike ride yesterday (more on that in a bit), I think opened me up to it a little more. So I’m definately feeling it a little today, will try and get some …
Read More - It’s been a tough week so far. Being only the third day of the week, I’ve had some real highs and some real lows. The highs being my run last night – 21 miles in ~2:37; that’s moving.
