The race consisted of 4 laps around the Air Force Academy in the Springs, for a total of 51 miles. I am very familiar with the course being that it is the Sunday group ri

Let's (continue to) get this party started...(GO AMY!!!)

Let’s (continue to) get this party started…(GO AMY!!!)

The title was the most important thing I had to say, so...for lack of any good transition on this Friday afternoon... Gotta love that feeling when your entire body acts as if it has rigor mortis during the workout. The onset takes a little longer if you're not at altitude, but when I did the 8 X

Why no LetsRun.com of triathlon?

Why no LetsRun.com of triathlon?

I've been thinking lately about the lack of a great triathlon website. When I started running in college in 2000 LetsRun.com was just starting out and was emerging as the go to place for running news. They've gotten even better in the last 9 years by sticking to what they do best: 1) Gather all t

Beware of the dry winters

Beware of the dry winters

Well it had to happen sometime and today happens to be probably the worst day so far, the snow is falling and it is mid April. We had been very lucky up until this point with some pretty nice weather through the winter, plenty of days outside, not many days on the trainer or rollers from January un

Lookout

Lookout

The lookout mountain hill climb is one of those great fitness test workouts. There is really no way to dog it, and your times from month to month and year to year can act as a great barometer of your cycling fitness. Today most of the team headed out for about a 2.5 hour ride with part of that tim

Training: wind = hills? (maybe.)

Training: wind = hills? (maybe.)

There might not be any "hills" in OK City, but wind training is just as fierce...even the trees get angry and actually grow north. Speaking of wind, in my spare time (wait - what's that?), I plan on cross-training by developing my windsurfing ability. As you can see from the guy in the pic sa

Too Much Swimming

Too Much Swimming

Sean's laying it on with the swimming this week. 17k yards in the first 3 days of the week. I thought I had Pete yesterday at the swim and started talking trash to him but miraculously he got it back together and beat me out to finish off the set. Here's a pic from a crit ride a couple of weeks ago

Whining Pete

Whining Pete

Here's some pics from a ride that Cyrus, Pete, and I went on last week up Golden Gate Canyon. Pete may look happy in the pics but he was whining to quit the climbing half the time. Then once we stopped climbing he decided he wanted to add on. Then he decided he wanted to cut the run after
