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 […]

I was lucky to choose the same weekend that Loren’s family was hosting Kaite Mactier, who is a legend (Olympic silver, amazing cyclist…check […]
Class Act
That’s how I feel at school this week. I’m acting like I’m there, I’m physically there, but I have no idea where my mind and body are. I’m exhausted from training, and took the last of my first round of midterms this morning (gen chem). Positive thoughts though, I only have to wait two weeks […]
Have fun at Wildflower
Yesterday I missed my track workout by laying down for a 20 minute nap that lasted 5 hours, so I figured I squeeze it in today before the Green River Time Trial. With no race wheels and tired legs I still managed to take out local pro triathlete, Chris Tremonte, which had me feeling pretty […]
