Reprint from USAT: One Athlete, Three Titles in 2010

Here’s a reprint of the my interview with USAT writer Lindsay Wyskowski.  You can find the original here.  This is super awesome to get the recognition for all the work I’ve done through the years.  Turning 40 can be a positive thing, folks!

2010 Season in Review, 2011 Season Ahead

It’s that time of year again.  The focused triathlon training, tapering, peaking, and racing are behind me.  No one will see me at the pool for months and my running / riding paces drop to levels that many people don’t actually believe even when I tell them.   It’s also the natural time for reviewing the previous year and planning ahead.

2010 Halfmax Nationals Race Report

Here’s the second half of the big double.  Less travel but double the racing and double the stress (more on that later).

Tri Nats – The Remy Angle

Remy seems to enjoy going to races.  I hear concerns about “dragging” one’s child to races they don’t want to go to, but I guess he’s still young enough to find entertainment just about anywhere, especially if it’s outdoors.  This post describes what Remy did at USAT Tri Nats while Mommy raced.

USAT Triathlon Nationals Coming Up

My first of two A races is coming up this Saturday.  It’s an Olympic Distance triathlon (1.5k / 40k / 10k) in Tuscaloosa, Alabama that serves as an age group national championship.  I did this race last year and had a really good performance.  I believe I’m more fit this year, so I really hope I can nail the execution and realize the benefits of all this training I’ve been doing.  Right now, I’m feeling oh-so-typically several days away from ready.

Triangle Triathlon 2010 Race Report

Triangle Triathlon was on two separate days this year.  One on Saturday and one on Sunday.  Some people picked both days, but I didn’t feel the need for that degree of self flagellation.  I picked Sunday.

Another Toddler Video and Race Schedule Change

I know Remy’s seen kids jump rope a few times, but not all that often, so I’m not sure where he got the idea to try it out himself with the yellow drawstring from my running tights.  Gary was quick enough with the camera to get this video documentation of the event.
