My gosh, people! Who knew that there were so many people knowledgeable about anemia and/or have the resources to do such research in my little circle of people who read my blog that feel motivated to share their wisdom and support with me!? I can’t believe the support through blog posts and emails. You people are [...]

Gary was googling something or other tonight and found this short video clip on YouTube of my Aquathlon finish from Nats. I was sure to enjoy the finish chute since it’s not very often most of us get to say we’re a national champ, even if it was a small field. I crack up every [...] Here’s a link to some photos from the Hot Doggett 100 ride last Saturday. I did make it through 66 miles, so if you know what to look for, you can find me in the crowds. Kind of like a “Where’s Waldo” puzzle. Have fun with it. OK. OK. Here’s a hint: I’m in pictures [...] Jason has done a sprint triathlon before, has run some marathons and swims regularly. His goal this summer is the Duke Live Center 1/2 Ironman, so a big part of his preparation is building up his bike mileage. He’s got a nice Cannondale from a family member and he’s out riding a little further each [...] The good news is I figured out what’s wrong. The bad news is I have another DNF– OK, it was a training ride mountain century and still got in 66 miles, so I did get in a workout before I threw in the towel. I’m sure to someone who has only read my blog posts [...] The frisbee drew blood when I caught it sandwiched in my forearms, that sharp-edged little bugger. But that’s the only downfall of Gary’s new workout for me designed to engage direction-changing & momentum-changing run muscles in my hips & knees & such. We switch between kicking a soccer ball around to each other and tossing [...] So we have our flight and housing arranged for Germany. Gary the expert planner setter upper guy has got us planned and set up for as good a price as we’re going to get. A nice place with a kitchenette about 3k from the race site is reserved and waiting for us to fly out [...] After a nice open water swim with a tired Paul McCall, I came home and downed a gluten free beer on an empty stomach. Because I was thirsty, that’s why. I felt pretty good after the first few minutes…in the swim. I felt pretty good after the first few minutes of drinking the beer, too, [...] It wasn’t necessary, but Vigo insisted when I turned in my chip today at Blackwater Traverse Du. I thought I was over being sick and ready to race, but I was wrong. The first mile was fine– felt pretty good and I was out in just over 6 minutes. A little quick, but I was [...] Well I decided to do the Blackwater Traverse Duathlon after all, so we drove up this evening. We went via Virginia Beach, through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel and up to Maryland. We learned that the bridge/tunnel toll is cash only. We also learned that if you park and go in the building, they’ll write you up [...] |
