Loren had a race Saturday morning, and Gret was in Seattle for a wedding, which meant that I got to take care of the little ones. Piper started off the morning with the biggest poop I’ve ever witnessed (her diaper weighed the same as she does). After I recovered from the trauma (I recruited my […]

My most reliable training partner
I have a training buddy that I need to give some credit to. My Garmin Forerunner has been the sweetest toy I’ve had to play with this year. I picked it up in May, and I’ve hardly done a run or ride without it since. Here’s a graph from one of my long rides last […]
Nationals Highlight Video
Inside Triathlon just posted a video from Nationals They didn’t give out a swim prime award because for one of the waves the timing was screwed up, but in the video they were nice enough to recognize it was pretty clear that I had the prime. I’ve decided to stay in San Francisco through the […]
Robots, Tiny Tim, and a 2 year old’s Bedroom
I’m back in Tiburon this week. It’s been two months since my last visit, and a few things have changed around here. For one, The Legend, Loren Pokorny, no longer looks like a flounder when he swims. We went swimming in the Tiburon Lagoon again. With 77 degree water I went sans wetsuit, and Loren […]
Endurance PTC
This week I had the pleasure of having lactate and VO2 testing done at the new Endurance PTC center in San Francisco. The center is only a week old, but already their spin classes are filling up. It’s easy to see why; the facility is equipped with Computrainers for all, so you can train to […]
Seafair Sprint Triathlon

Hot week off in Seattle
This week is my psuedo week-off. I’m back into training, but still really low key. It’s 98 degrees in Seattle right now, which is the hottest it will get this year. I’ve never seen it top 100, and hopefully it never will (screw you global warming, you can have Florida, but don’t mess with the […]
Comments work again!!
So start leaving them. Sorry for all the frustration the past couple weeks.
wait for it…
Today’s Endurance Planet Podcast features yours truly. Yes it was early when I interviewed, and yes, public speaking will be on my schedule this fall. In other news, I’m taking a motorcycle safety course this week with my dad. It’s pretty fun. I’m doing fine, but my dad is struggling some. He was complaining about […]
National Champs
Today was National Age Group Championships in Portland, OR. It was my first focus race of the season and a lot of effort went into preparation. Last year I won my age group and was second overall, so there was a lot of pressure on me this year after I made public my goal of […]
