Olympic Triathlon Training Update 8: Half Taper Week and Free Time!

This week was lovely lots of little jobs off the list, less working out to do, no daunting workouts in the schedule, great weather and even fun social stuff. We went to an RC air show, that was cold, but fun, family time and fun time. Also sleeping in time, quitting early time so you...

Basic Running Etiquette

This post was actually inspired by some kinda crappy cyclists on the trail but I figured runners might need a hand too and the cycling portion will be here on Wednesday, swimmers you’re on your own!

Olympic Triathlon Training Update 6: Road Bike Lives and my Last Brick!

It’s happening you guys, I’m really and truly getting ready and somewhat confident I’m going to live through this triathlon thing later THIS month!
