Training, work, life… all of it seems to be in "zoom" mode. Work has a bazillion things due last week. That ended up having me work a good 20 or so hours over the weekend, and still putting in longish hours all week. At least I'm hourly 😉 Training has been rocking. Well, Sunday on…

… as you are all happily playing on Trifuel today. It looks like for some reason my work computer can't connect to trifuel or trilife any more. Started sometime yesterday, and it's not the "remember our internet policy" page that the company sometimes has sites open. *sigh* It hasn't even been a day yet and…

Finally rode the commuter bike on the commute today! It means my tri-bike has no pedals right now (as the bike shop is ordering some cheapo looks for the commuter, and while waiting the good pedals are on the commuter bike). I also got a flat. I think the tube on the bike wasn't really…

… or something. Anniversary of what, you might ask? Well, that’s the tough question. There is definitely the easy answer: My first tri was this day in 2004. On a borrowed hybrid bike, and reverse order (Redlands Tri). Wooo 2 years of addiction. But there is also the answer that I seem to remember more.…

Swimming (with Lisa) was good yesterday. She doesn’t look at all as broken as I was worried about! And her swim form in particular looks great as always. This morning though my bed was too warm, and I had been up to late. I may run this evening, or I may let the BAAR Brawl…

This has been a good week so far… Wednesday night I met with Coach Tony at the pool and got some AWESOME swim tips. Many of the actual bits were the same as I'd heard before, but he gave me a wonderful visualization tool: You are swimming in a tube. This tubes is parallel to…

There is something about sharing goals that makes them more real for me… but first I’ll start with the beginning. A fellow blogger on the other site I use posted a great “1st 50k” report, and I told him so and that someday I’ll be there. He told me he’s read my IM report, and…

So after all the effort of the last week or so and getting back into regular working out, I have cold or something. And it has gotten colder here, so although that doesn't really bother me, my running pants are packed somewhere as I'm half moved, and since I'm already feeling cold from being a…

So tired this week, and since it's also post a 24 hr deal I'm taking it easy. Monday was the official day off (from driving to work and from working out). And last night I was considering running to karate, but I was just too drained. Instead I've been working on some crochet xmas gifts…

This last race was, well, quite a learning experience. Warning: this is very long…. It started as a team built from eCamp — myself, Ryan (another participant), Chris (a volunteer), and Duncan (a friend of Chris’). First I rolled my foot (but it is doing mostly better so I still raced), then Duncan got hit…
