My core subscribers are in an uproar. I’ve been ill for the first time in over two years. Brian’s wife, Marijana, said something nice to me. I think the world must be turning inside out. The past week since I returned to the US I’ve been taking a much needed mental break from competition, and […]

Safeway supports schools
If you shop at Safeway, check out your receipts for this month and next. Safeway will donate 10% of eligible products to a school of your choice. If there isn’t a school that you are particularly fond of, my Alma Mater, Garfield High School (school ID 5000005658) could really use the extra cash. You just […]
Recycle
I was just looking at the GU website, and I found that they have a pretty cool program to encourage us not to litter our empty packets. Save up all your old gels and mail them in, for every 10 you get a free new one. Or if you’re not quite as frugal as me, […]
My favorite workout
This month I was featured in the “My Favorite Workout” column of Inside Triathlon. I wrote the workout, but Melaina Junti (Staff Reporter) wrote the introduction. I knew she was a cool girl when I received my first email with the subject “love mail” (Ok, so maybe I force you to use that subject on […]
Next…
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 […]
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 […]
What distance?
A little editorial here. Triathlon is a pretty broad sport. Not only do you have to be proficient at three different sports, but you also have to be able to do several distances that take between one hour and ten (or 16, depending on the athlete). Wait a minute. No you don’t. You only have […]
ITU Uni
I just got in the mail today, my new ITU Uniform. Thanks to TYR for supplying the Uniform, and my former roommate, Tai Blechta, who runs a graphic design company, Taigraphx.com. They specialize in team uniforms, bike decals, logo design. They can even do sublimated designs on technical clothing. And the prices are pretty competitive. […]
Topless Races
Sorry guys, this post is not about the Danskin all-women Triathlon last weekend. (But congrats to the 3500 women who finished!!! You should be proud! Now keep up the good work and I’ll see you at some coed races next year!) The photos from Hy-Vee Triathlon (June 17th) are available online now. Brightroom’s dependable and […]
AG Worlds Drug Testing
Here is an email I received from USA Triathlon: Dear athletes, As if you aren’t already informed enough about the drug testing… I have more information from our Team USA doc, Dr. Hunt. Please read below: I am sure you have already seen the article, but in case you have not, there was one today […]
