Today I had a great run along the Provo River trail. Even though the weather was not ideal (wet snow, cold, windy), I decided to head out anyway.
You never know what weather will be like on race day (hopefully not snow!) so it’s always a good idea to make sure you’re mentally prepared for anything. On [...]

Just be the best you can be at whatever you do. Always a great thing to remember. Just wanted to pass it on. Thanks @GaleBernhardt.
Just Do Something

Sometimes just doing something is better than nothing, at least for me. I just signed up for a 1/2 marathon that’s in a few weeks and I’m excited for it. I’ve never done more than a 5K in just a running event. Planned on going 5 miles today, but ended up with just 3. Not [...]
The Finish

The best part of any race. The finish. Whether it’s a local sprint tri with only a handful of entrants and spectators or an Ironman with thousands, crossing the finish line is always awesome.
If you’ve been there, you know it. If you haven’t, find a way to get there. Have a great training week!
Triathlon Brings Variety

I love triathlon training because it’s a lot less boring than doing the same thing over and over each day. That’s what drew me into the sport. I was tired of going running everyday and never changing anything. For me, that was boring.
With triathlon, everyday is something new. It’s a different workout and a new challenge. [...]

If you’ve ever been on a treadmill for a long time, this is what it seems to feel like. This is from the “Triathlon 101″ cartoon by Ben Boyd and Bob Babbitt. If you’re a triathlete, you’ll find some of these pretty funny.
Lance Armstrong Not Happy About Comments Aired on ESPN Radio
Posted on March 18, 2010 - Filed Under Cycling | Leave a Comment
This was Lance Armstrong’s tweet in response to ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser’s “run them down” comment and his hate-cyclists rant. Read more about it from FanHouse.
It’s sad that there’s people (and I think quite a few) that despise cyclists on the road. I’ve been yelled at while on my bike and almost hit a few times by [...]
