The new year’s flu, snot for Christmas, and how the most satisfying and effective medical experience I’ve had this year was when I was bled like something out of the middle ages. Go on, click on in and read more.

Garmin for 2011 and 2012!
I’m proud to announce that I will be working with Garmin International for 2011 and 2012! Garmin was one of my first sponsors, and my partnership with them has grown substantially over the past three years. It’s been a lot of fun testing out their products and sharing my stories, both here and on the […]
Normal Life
Well it’s back to training. I did a blow-out of winter fun time at the end of November with two days of cross country skiing and a very long day of downhill at Breckenridge. All that skiing ensured that my first full day of swimming biking and running felt like overtraining, and I had no […]
Thanksgiving
A week before Thanksgiving I went to Seattle. It was for my nephew’s first birthday, and despite the fact that he will not remember a moment of it, I’m glad I went. The trip also served to give me a pass on going home for Thanksgiving. I love my family, and I love spending time […]
Flying Without a Bike
There’s a lot of outdoor stuff to do in Colorado that I don’t have the energy for during the season, like hiking, rock climbing, skiing, and fishing. The problem is, I don’t have much of my gear in Colorado because when I moved there in February I was expecting to leave for Seattle for my winter fun time. Now it’s November, the season is over, and I just want to stay in Colorado to play. Fortunately I was convinced to fly home this weekend.

Halloween’s Super Sprint Triathlon Grand Prix
Let me set the stage: Oceanside California. Just a few miles up the coast from San Diego, Oceanside is a small town that has managed to preserve the old-California feel that many believe to exist only in the writings of the beat generation. The town is lifted up from the beach by a tall bluff, […]
Checking Back In
After my last crash in Huatulco a few weeks ago I’ve had some serious motivational issues. I barely trained in the week after the World Cup (which showed in Puerto Vallarta), and after the Pan-Am Champs I took a few days off entirely to enjoy my Mexican vacation. Back in the states I put in […]
