Lisa, Jeremy, and my friend Randy (who is silent on Trifuel — muahahaha I am exposing him as payback for the dream) were all getting ready to head to Vineman. Yet for some reason it was only like 10-12 miles from us, so Randy was going to pick up me and Lisa (I think Jer…

I guess I should be glad the pool is closed for health reasons, as opposed to letting people swim in it while it’s unsafe. However, I’d me more happy if they could figure out how to get the chlorine levels right. I mean, really. How many pools does 24 Hour Fitness operate? How long have…

Wow… a week long SOLO adventure raceis going on now in a Costa Rica near you! My friend Paul (of Team Sole) is racing… and his son and Karen are there as his crew! It should be fun to keep track of how he is doing, and I can’t wait to hear what crazy stories…

You know it was a good weekend when one of your first thoughts Monday morning is about how you finally got up without using your hands. My quads love me. Needless to say, I didn’t work out Sunday, but slept and hung with good people. I will probably swim on the way home tonight. But…

Explore the West Southern CA Sprint (1st race in series) April 8, 2006 After being strongly encouraged onto a team for the second race in this same series, and craving navigation practice, and missing my mountain bike, and missing seeing AR friends, I decided Friday afternoon to just sign up and get out there.

I’ve chosen my first race of the year… Explore the West Southern CA Sprint. Oh wait, it’s today? Ok I guess I should go get ready. I decided yesterday, actually, to do this one. It should be fun — I’m doing it solo, which I’ve never done with any AR. This means I’ll really get…

Yesterday was an awesome run — I just needed to get back out there. Yes, it was a bit wet. Ok, it was pouring (for reference for those of you near me, I ran from around 4:15-5:45 last night). But it was somewhat less raining for part of the run! And it was going to…

First training reminder: I’ve always loved the run of tris. I love the feeling of getting off the bike, and just me and the ground spending time together. Yet lately it’s the run workouts I’ve been missing?? I just don’t get it. Gotta fix it though — sometimes I get too confident about not losing…

It’s a good thing I like Dora from Finding Nemo so much. Her “just keep swimmin’!” song is often in my head. This morning I was being crabby… didn’t really want to bike commute, didn’t want to go to work, didn’t want to run… etc etc. Finally realized a swim might be nice, and realized…

Today’s bike ride home I was flying. I hit every light just about perfectly, and was feeling great and strong and smooth. I was making great time, and it didn’t even feel like I was working too hard. I even thought a bit about how lucky I am to be able to have such rides…
