750m swim, 3k run. I'd wanted to do one of these last year, but was always busy. This year I vowed to do at least one, and I suckered Laura into doing it too. I figured.. cycling's my weakest sport, just swimming and running sounds fantastic. And it was! It's a pretty early-starting event for an evening event (6pm), but we got there early enough to set up our transition areas and get in one loop...

it's really happening again.  3 more days of work!  one more Saturday...and then *poof*!  overseas again! I'm doing some last-minute projects, like triman  's little bike shoe lift and making my own pull buoy (none of the American ones are up to Coach's standards.  so...make my own for $6!  will probably blog about it later.)  and even though I knew it would be hard, trying to see everyone...

I had the best of intentions. I really planned to follow the prescribed workout schedule. But with my colleague out and me taking VUTO next week, I didn't do the Tuesday workout and my Wed workout did not follow the 'plan'. I did, however, go on a 24 mile bike ride Wednesday after work. I couldn't convince anybody to join me, but off I went to Berry Springs Park on my own. As luck would have it, a...

lesse, Last Sat ran 4.5 miles then did the first of Tx Iron supported long runs on Sunday. Started out pretty frosty and I had issues with my Garmin so naturally I'm last out of the parking lot at BS heading east on the LBLT. I tried to maintain the distance between me and Praveeta, did pretty well for a mile, but when I looked at Garmin and it said 11:25, I knew I couldn't keep up that pace. We ran...

Today was a long run. It deserves When I went to pick up my packet, as I was leaving I saw this woman waving to me and realized it was Wendy, a friend and co-worker. She and her hubby were just buying running shoes to train for a half marathon. I decided that even though I had previously run parts of the course on TZ training runs, thought it best to drive the route. First thing I did was blow past...
