I’m back in the US. I’ve taken a few days off from posting, mainly due to the fact that writing about a long flight is pretty boring, even to the author. I will say that I have never felt better after a flight, and it’s because my mother and I implemented a rule that we […]

Dénouement: In Soviet Polska, field harvests you!
I’m having internet issues, and can’t seem to upload anything. I even had to get Brian to post this, so if there are any grammatical errors it’s his fault. [This is patently untrue. Anybody who believes such unsubstantiated rubbish should know better than to trust a curly-haired manchild with four names. — Brian] I’ll add […]
The Climb of Shame
It’s nearly 2am in Poland. I’m not even a little bit tired, which is partly because I just finished an eventful day of racing and partly due to the fact that I just finished a real pleasure of a book (Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman), and both these things require due contemplation. It requires the […]
Race Photos and Polish Breakfast
I was going to start off the post with another map of where we are, but the internet here is too slow for me to get Motionbased.com to load. Maybe I’ll add it later if it stops raining. The town is kedzierzyn-kozle. View Larger Map There’s not much here, but it is nice to be […]
Interview via Podcast
Check out a podcast I did with Endurance Planet. It’s the September 5th Podcast.
European Road Trip
View Larger Map I’m at an internet cafe in Spreewald, Germany. It’s about 100km south of Berlin. I’m on my way to Poland, which is probably another 500km, and I’m not sure what to expect. I’ve had very little luck with finding internet the past few days, so it may be more from Brian Davis […]
A B.S. In Commuter Science
Hello children. If you’ve been following recent developments you would know that your Uncle Huli (World Champion, esq.) is out gallivanting across Europe with his shiny bikes and Kylie Minogue lookalikes. What you might not know, though, is that your Uncle Bobo (Brian Davis) snatched himself an administrator account to Huli’s site and has no […]
The Last Day
Sunday was surreal. I’m hoping I can portray how the emotions felt, but I’m not sure I’m enough of a poet. I’m also a little tired today after a bit of a celebration last night that included lots of dancing to an American cover band in an Irish pub in the red light district of […]
World Champion
It has a ring to it, doesn’t it? I don’t have time to do a full race report, but I want to let everyone know that I did it. I’m stoked. Hella stoked. I’ll write more when I can, but I have a ton of ceremonies to get to, so it will have to wait […]
T – 15 hours
Not much to say. I’ve been relaxing most of the day. Went for a run around the transition area to check it out and hopped on a trainer in the USAT elite room at my hotel. Being around the elites sheds some light on how small my race really is. These guys are here and […]
