Ironman Lake Placid Race Report – A Pleasant Nightmare
A lot of race blogs have a tag line in the header, “It’s about the journey” for example. When I was considering one for myself I settled on “This is my year” from the total commitment I decided to make toward training in 2013 and the departure from some of my usual antics of the…
East Coast to West Coast in 2 weeks – My LA move
No one would argue that it isn’t hard starting fresh in a new place. Now add to that moving 2500 miles solo, on 3 weeks’ notice, in the prime of Ironman training and in the midst of the Jeep getting broken into and most of my gear getting stolen, and add a 70.3 into the…
Only 2 weeks to go!!!
It was about this time last week I was really starting to get excited about all the cool summer activities I had coming up. First Boston to see my sister graduate from Law School, then Placid for a mini training trip, Eagleman shortly after, and I had just signed up for QT2 Lake Placid camp…
California: The Next Chapter
I began writing this post in my head September of last year when I first went out to visit my friends in LA and absolutely fell in love with it. Today, almost 9 months later, after some close calls and an emotional rollercoaster ride, I am happy to announce that I will be taking the…
Bassman Half Ironman Race Report (It’s About Time!)
It’s about time I wrote this race report, going on a week since I participated in my first triathlon of the 2013 season, the Bassman Half Ironman. It’s also about time I wrote a race report for an actual triathlon, as I was beginning to forget what all this training was for. Reading friends recaps…
Progress
People often ask me, “What’s your goal time for Placid?” My response continues to be the same. I don’t know. I think it’s foolish to make a prediction on something with so many variables out of your control and that’s so far away. I’ve seen it before, and in the end no one remembers what…
Shamrock Run
We’ve all had those freakouts, real or imagined of oversleeping a final exam or showing up late to an important job interview. In my case, most recently, they’re usually race related; realizing my goggles are missing moments before the swim start or getting into T1 to find my bike has been replaced by a unicycle,…
Failure
“There is no failure except in no longer trying” – Elbert Hubbard In 2002 as a college freshman I had two significant goals and I wrote them on a dry erase board next to my bed so that I could see them every morning when I woke up. 1) Graduate with a bachelors in…
Lockport Y10
I’ve been itching to race more and more these days, not just from a lack of competition, having done nothing significant since Ironman Muskoka 70.3 other than a Halloween 5k in the pouring rain, but from a growing excitement due to recent workout results to see where I am at after so many hours of…
