In case you are trying to make “good choices” and find yourself heading toward the words “organic”, beware! Appearances CAN be deceiving:
MYTH: Organic companies are small and environmentally friendly.
Find out where your food comes from. You’ll be surprised. If you think that tiny little organic food company has a halo over [...]

After Louisville last year, I attempted multiple times to get back on the training bandwagon but each time my knee told me, “Uhm. Not yet!” It was pretty disheartening when even swimming would hurt – kick drills were verboten and an odd push off the wall could terminate a session early.
I had settled [...]

You might remember that one of my chosen blogs is Steve Stenzel’s “Steve in a Speedo?!“? Well he’s been doing a series called “Does it Work?” reviewing tools that triathletes use on a day-to-day basis. Yesterday’s entry was Steve’s review of four online training logs … Beginner Triathlete, Buckeye Outdoors, Daily Mile, and Training [...]

We all have our favourite “go to” sites when we’re in need of information – bike setup figures, swim techniques, new interval workouts – and they fill a very important role in the 21st Century athlete’s Big Bag o’Tricks, but what about blogs?
For me, there is a pretty hard set of criteria [...]

For the next 4 Mondays, the LMS crew is putting together their Wish Lists for The Big Day.
While some of these ideas might be classified in the “Dream On!” realm there will be plenty of things that are more rooted in reality!
Nov 30: Jen brings out the handmade, artistic side of [...]

I don’t normally like re-posting someone else’s words. But this? This is worth it. When immersed within the triathlon world, it’s hard to remember how the rest of the world sees us. And for those that cross the finish line, once you’ve accepted the accolades and given yourself a well-deserved pat on the back [...]

Wow. Been pretty quiet round here. Guess it’s officially the “Off Season”.
helllloooo!
After a few days, then weeks of frantically wondering, “What’s Next? What’s Next?” I’ve sashayed gracefully into, “Ah! This ain’t so bad!” Meaning no agenda, no “program”, no specific workout. My knee still being semi-bunged up is of course contributing [...]

Well. It certainly was a fun-filled week! Tom and I arrived a day before TJ, Alisha (TJ’s signo) and Norma Jean who opted to drive down with bikes in tow, and were greeted with sunshine, warmth and that delightful KY accent. Trying to stretch our legs, we walked down to the waterfront [...]

Sunday dawned clear and the promise of hot hot heat … a perfect training opp as we headed bright’n’early to the Valley. Too bad I’d had a crappy sleep, bumping my hip hematoma twice in the night – a jarring painful, take-my-breath-away experience. Got to the race site in plenty of time but forgot [...]
