2011 Vineman Ironman 70.3 Race Report
After the brutal season-opening Wildflower I wasn't too keen on another half-Ironman triathlon. The Vineman 70.3 changed everything. What a fun race! I set new personal records in the swim and bike and minimized my losses on the run.
Supermoto at Infineon Raceway Kart Track
Brad and David invited me to join them for a Supermoto trackday at Infineon's Kart track. I haven't ridden a bike in years. I crash bikes like mad on the track. I'm not sure what they were thinking, but hey, it's not my bike, so yeah, I'm game.
2011 Avia Wildflower Long Course Triathlon Race Report
The Wildflower Long Course is well-known as a brutal early-season race: 3500ft elevation on the bike and 2100ft on the run! Crazy. The great thing about doing such a hard race as my first 70.3 mile half-Ironman distance is that I will be faster in every race from now on! With little sleep and much less training time available (thanks Charlie) I knew it was going to be a tough race. It didn't disappoint.
Finding humour in sleeplessness
Charlie is now four days old. We came home from the hospital yesterday.
It's a boy!
Beautiful baby boy, 7lbs 8oz, with a full head of hair. Sara + (as yet unnamed) baby are healthy and doing well.
Bow hunting for wild pigs at Lake Sonoma
It's been a while since we've gone hunting. My hunting buddies and I have been disappointed time and time again. Hunting trips are now called "armed hikes". The pigs knew we were coming, weren't there in the first place, or were such crafty little ninjas that we couldn't possibly find or track them.
2010 Marin County Triathlon Olympic Triathlon Race Report
I raced the 2010 Marin County Triathlon on an amazing beautiful morning in China Camp on San Pablo Bay. Last Triathlon of the season! I raced hard, finished third in my age group, and most importantly BEAT MY TIME GOAL FOR THE SEASON!
