A wonderful week of miles. The weather was somewhat mild. I was able to get out several times on the bike and even a few runs. Putting in over 150 miles on the bike this week was huge. Do I have to remind you that it is November? My week started on Tuesday with a solo ride in the morning. I did a decent size loop around Springfield only to ride the last 10 miles through town in the … [Read more...]
The “Off” Season
November 29, 2009 By
This has been shamelessly taken from the very enlightening and entertaining blog of Chuckie V. He once raced here in Springfield back in the mid-90s. He was just as funny back then, only with better hair. The below excerpt is very pertinent to the foursome in the most recent podcast. (The four suckers with an Ironman on their schedule) So... without further ado: "Off" Season … [Read more...]

What do the Grateful Dead, Doritos, Mountain Dew, l'alpe d'huez, and the Chronic all have in common? Any guesses? Well, apparently you haven't been on the interurban trail lately. They were all influential in the making of the new bike trail between Macarthur and Woodside Rd. Holy sine wave or is it a cosine? I'm not sure anymore but I do know it is one hell of a tangent. The … [Read more...]
Have you seen my motivation?
November 19, 2009 By
I sure as hell can't find it. 24 hours of rain and darkness has really been cramping my style. So today around 2:00 the sun peaked through the clouds. Just long enough to make it out for a run. 4.47 miles at a 8:04 pace, at least that is what my new garmin 310xt said. You can check out my workout on Garmin Connect. Tonight after work, I headed to the Springfield Tri Club Social. They … [Read more...]
Movember

A client of mine came into the clinic. I noticed a halfway-grown mustache on him. I said "I see your growing a mustache". He said "it's embarassing but I'm doing it for charity". I said "oh yeah, it's Movember". He said "how'd you know"?............ … [Read more...]
