It happened. Just over 1 mile into the run leg, I knew I was either going to puke or pass out. I was so green, I practically matched the club colors on my tri suit. Anger at the idea of failure was the only thing that kept me from just […]

Last weekend, I planned log some serious miles, and break out from my squeeze-in-a-short weekday rides or (let’s face it) super quick trainer workouts. Geared up in a brand new kit, I slung a with a musette over one shoulder holding a matching kit (nicknamed “Ninja Lycra” by the way, […]
Taking all the necessary food, flat repair, tools, and whatever else can be rather frustrating–especially if we’re trying to keep it aero.

Watching all the brave participants, a recurring trend jumped out at me–and kept staring me down as I passed rider after rider on the road: the haphazard, heavy, and sometimes dangerous […]
I love Coca Cola. Especially Cherry Coke. It’s a habit I’ve only had marginal success controlling for months at a time, and it oftentimes hampers my goals for getting in racing shape or even having a successful training session. Drink a Coke right before swimming, and you’ll quickly find that […]
I’ll tell you a slight secret–I’m rather prone to panic attacks, and there’s something about swimming that can trigger panic like nobody’s darn business. When I first started triathlon, I struggled to swim any real distance without popping out of the water like a sputtering whale. I would swim 50 […]
Watching the Tour de France this year and wondering what the heck the commentators are talking about? Why does that one rider looks like he has the measles? Everyone seems to want to wear a yellow jersey, what the heck for? The Tour is a complicated and exciting race interwoven […]
Yesterday, on a long ride with my best friend, I was having a bit of trouble with sore legs. So I decided to unclip and pull my foot up over my top tube to stretch it . . . I know, it’s starting off bad. As I slid it back […]
Just when you thought the Madone 6 series was expensive, along comes the the new Trek Madone 7 Series. The top-end for Madones, Trek has released a bevy of features in what they claim is the “fastest” road bike out there. They’re pulling out all the stops with a lighter, […]
