Post Ironman Q & A
Thanks for all of the wonderful comments on my uber long race report! I realized I forgot to mention that I did take a gel right before the swim line got moving, even though it was hard to choke down. And I also did a pre-race two mile run on Saturday morning. I opted...
Ironman Chattanooga Race Report
This is a LONG one. I didn't want to split it up into three sections so I'm going to do it all once. Go get a beverage. This could take a while. Pre-Race On Wednesday, an article came out about how hard the course would be and it scared the living hell out of...
It’s race week!
I can't believe it's finally here! Race week! This journey started on September 4, 2013. The day I registered with Meghan, after convincing myself I liked hilly bike courses and would take a gamble on a first year event. My ironmani. In looking at my daily mile stats...

Friday Confessions Or PFUDOR
I have loved this four day week. I could get used to this. Can we start a petition for that? I mean, that's gotta be a cause for action right? Anyway... I've got some silly confessions for you guys this week. Number four is downright shameful. At least I didn't...
August Stats/Recap
I had a pretty spectacular August. Yes, I had a few lows but in looking at the big picture, I'd say I set out what I aimed to do. I saw a few movies, went to a concert, and even got a few great dinners with friends. I'm happy that September is finally here as I'm in...
