Yeah I know it is April but today was like Christmas for me. The other day I ordered some new Oakleys and yesterday heard through the TrainingPeaks Team grapevine that FedEx was on route with team kit. I was pretty giddy when I saw the FedEx guy roll up to the door at 10:30 with [...]

I started training with a power meter this year. I actually thought about it last year but this year the deals on PowerTap wheels were too good to pass up. I have to say it was a wise investment and I look forward to training with power going forward. Why? For one thing it is [...] Who needs enemies? Haha, I kid but I had some fun on Twitter and Facebook yesterday. It all started with a faster than expected long run to which I tweeted…. Now my Garmin works perfectly well. Perhaps I needed a smiley face at the end, or a wink or something to highlight my sarcasm. [...] If you spend a lot of time in a pool you know the effect it can have on your hair. My barber always tries to sell me on some expensive shampoo to clean out the Chlorine. My friend Adena gave me some samples of TriSwim shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion. I normally get really [...] Well it is official! Thanks to the support of all my friends and followers I made the cut and I am one of 20 TrainingPeaks Athlete Ambassadors!

I am pretty stoked about being affiliated with such a great company, brand [...] My transition to barefoot running. Want to stir up a debate at your local running or triathlon shop/club/race? Bring up the subject of barefoot running. Seriously, try it sometime and then sit back and listen :) Or just go online and read about all those who rave about it and all those who rant [...] If you look up you might see a small change.

I forgot how much shit you have to pack for a triathlon! Wetsuit, bike, wheels, shoes, runners, shorts, shirt, spare workout clothes, regular clothes, nutrition the list keeps going and going and going. Thankfully I remembered this little resource from last [...] Almost two years ago I bought a Garmin ForeRunner 305, mostly because it was neat to see the GPS data from the mountain bike rides, and a little because having the breadcrumbs meant I could always find my way home. Garmin has a great (when functional) online site where you can store and share your [...] But you can buy comfort! Well you can buy speed but it can get expensive. There are less expensive options that will add speed and there are plenty of options to add comfort. I took this Winter to add some comfort and maybe a little speed on the P2. It is the perfect time of [...] |
