This is pretty cool… Looking at the results from Rocketman, I was in 26th place coming off the bike in my age group. I finished 17th in my age group overall. I passed nine people in my age group during T2+Run. Four of those people were already ahead of me after the swim, and the […]

Yesterday’s post started a little bit of an interesting discussion about bricks over on Google+. At the same time, this thread over on Beginner Triathlete was going on talking about the same thing. There seems to be a wide spectrum of opinion out there about the value of bricks for 70.3 distances and beyond. I […]

Received this email from a friend who’s coming to do Rocketman 70.3. He isn’t training…he’s just going to show up and do the race. I am in full taper and playing with a very cutting edge technique….I imagine my full workouts and “trick” my body into feeling as though it has properly trained. This takes […]
I have some friends coming in to race Rocketman 70.3 with me–one from California, one from Tennessee, and two from North Carolina. Actually, I’ve never met one of the guys from NC, Adam. Adam is coming down with Dirty Matt. And a friend of Dirty Matt’s is a friend of mine. Just to stir the pot, […]
These are happening right in the heart of the time in a program when I get a little bored and take my foot off the gas. Luckily, I’m not using a training plan this time around. I was travelling last week and have a cold this week, but in between I was able to squeeze […]
Do I care that he used PEDs and/or blood doped to win the TDF? Not a bit. Do I care that he bullied other riders and threatened their careers if they didn’t go along with his program? Absolutely. Fan boys, you can say all you want about all the great things the guy has done […]

I’m pulling the trigger and getting some coaching this year. I’ve been quasi-diagnosed with ODD by some lesser-known psychologists, but I’m actually pretty coachable. The way I look at it, if I’m paying someone (or committing my time even) for coaching, I’m going to be all-in and do what they ask of me. Even if […]
If you are thinking of running the Space Coast Marathon, DO IT! You will not be disappointed. Small marathon with almost all the perks of a big marathon. Pros: Local (for me) race, the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Nice to be able to relax around the house for several days leading up, sleep in my own […]
I decided on a fall marathon to try to fix what ailed me in the Florida 70.3 run. Luckily there’s a great local race, The Space Coast Marathon, over the Thanksgiving holiday. Using the FIRST training plan, I hope to keep up with my swimming and cycling as best I can on the cross training […]
About 2 years ago I had a really strange numbness in the top of my right foot around the third and fourth toes. I could “activate” the numbness by rubbing a little spot just below my ankle. There wasn’t any pain involved, so I didn’t think much of it, but I asked my doctor about […]
When I first started running just after the turn of the century (haha) I sought out some experts and tried to leverage their knowledge as best I could. That meant using the Hal Higdon (awesome running coach) Novice Marathon program, reading message boards that focus on training, and finding some locals who gave me good […]
One of the downsides to telecommuting is that it’s very easy to become withdrawn, especially if you are a natural introvert like me. I find myself going days on end without leaving the house unless it’s for a quick trip to the gym,and I’m usually under water for most of the time I’m there. I […]
