I was feeling bad that I haven’t taken any pictures since I got to California, and also that my post yesterday completely digressed from what I intended to talk about. So here is a picture of what I made myself for lunch today. (I was proud enough to get my camera out for this). It’s […]

Tiburon Girls, Muffins, Robot Fish, and a Long Wet Ramble.
I’ve been in California (specifically Tiburon, north of San Francisco) since Wednesday night. I’m staying with Loren Pokorny and his three women, Greta (the actual head of the house), Sada and Piper (who, despite being born into a post 9/11 world, still find a way to terrorize Loren daily). For the last month Loren has […]
Seoul Mates
Alright. These pictures have been referenced by myself, and Chris Tremonte, and I’m sure Steven Sexton will mention it when he finishes writing scholarly articles about biofuels (or whatever those Berkeley graduate slackers do with all their free time). These pictures were all taken within an hour of each other at the airport in Seoul. […]
Intestine Stew for the Seoul
Our weekend in Seoul was great, and a large part of that was due to the mistakes we made. By we I’m referring to the American athletes, Steve Sexton, Dave Massenheimer Chris Tremonte and myself – though the mistakes can all be traced back to me alone. After the race we headed off to a […]
Live Writer needs autosave or is microsoft conspiring against me?
I spent about an hour last night recounting the odd events that made my trip to Korea so much more than just a typical race. Unfortunately, the Pulitzer worthy piece was deleted when I left my computer for a few minutes and Windows decided to restart itself after updating. I write all my blog entries […]
Seoul Asia Cup – Race Day
My fever is gone and I’m feeling much better today. Whatever illness I had was nothing 19 hours in bed couldn’t fix! The Seoul Asia Cup had a strong field. I normally don’t look at starts lists, and frankly don’t care, but since I was rooming with the slightly OCD Chris Tremonte, I had no […]
Seoul Asia Cup – Saturday
After getting in to Seoul Friday night and feasting at the "Broadway Diner" (right below the "Yankz and Mettz Grill") on imitation American food, consisting of butered Atlantic Salmon (quite far from the Atlantic), mussels, sushi, sashimi, kimchi, bread, meat balls, korean bbq ribs, rice, fried rice, azuki bean rice, rice rolled in bamboo shoots […]
Seoul Results
Coming Soon!!!! I’m going to get on a plane, and I’ll write about the trip after I sleep for several hours.
Seattle -> Seoul
I’m on the flight to Seoul, South Korea. Also on board are Chris Tremonte, and the 2008 Collegiate US Champion, Steve Sexton. I tried taking some all natural sleeping aids for the flight, but was only able to stay asleep for a few hours. Not enough to get me through the 12 hour flight, and […]
Beyond Expectation
Here’s the big advantage of buying a bike from a small company that sells directly and keeps tabs on all the bikes it sells. Beyond Fabrications is awesome, and this story makes that obvious. Last Thursday I proved that triathletes should never contest a sprint. Especially not at a Thursday night crit, when there’s nothing […]
