The 2009 finale

…people say she looks like me…I wish

So this was it…the race I had been training and waiting for! Needless to say, I was slightly nervous!
We drove down to NH on Friday night, leaving Figs at our friends’ house as the park that the race was at didn’t allow dogs. We arrived in [...]

About Looville.

Ford Ironman Louisville made it’s debut in 2007 and has quickly become one of North America’s most popular Ironman races.

“This is one of the biggest amateur sporting events that has ever been to Louisville and the state,” says Jeff Schneider, Interim Executive Director of the Greater Louisville Sports Commission. “The city and state have embraced [...]

I Want To Beat Chrissie Wellington

I Want To Beat Chrissie Wellington.  That was my goal in March when I signed up for the Timberman 70.3 triathlon.  To  help with motivation, I cut a picture of her out of a tri mag and stuck it on the fridge (I actually did this for awhile but then I got a coupon for [...]

Round 2 of Questions

Yes it’s that time again.  My random thoughts over the last couple of weeks compiled in one page.  If you’ve got the answers let me know!

Cycling Tip to Tip

NSTTT start

Cycling 925kms in seven days may not be everyone’s idea of a fun time. But sharing an activity we both love to do (even on non-ending hills), viewing close-up Nova Scotia’s back road beauty, meeting new friends – and the blessing of glorious weather – made this tour a favorite on our list [...]

Push Push Push…

Human beings are programmed to want more.  More food, more money, more sex; we are greedy by nature.  There are a few people who still buck this trend and I envy them.  Being comfortable with what you have is (I think) a good thing.  But thats not the way my brain works.
