So Many Bikes, Just Enough Space

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THE SAN DIEGO OR BUST ITU PAGE In this post, I talk about traveling across Kansas into Denver, the Denver bike load at TriBella Women’s Multisport shop, and the completion of our bike load for San Diego or Bust. Finally, some interesting truck facts. Flat Stanley has been working on his post too. When I knew I …

Are You Competitive or Business Oriented?

It’s time for a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type of post. Or, if you’re more romantic… We’re all holding dandelions whispering “she loves me, she loves me not” as we pluck. As I began writing this post, I didn’t know how to accurately discuss it. If you’re uber competitive and have a strong disdain for short cuts, are you …

What if Cyclists were like NASCAR Drivers or Triathletes?

There are a few types of people: “those that know”, “those that know what they don’t know”, and “those that don’t know what they don’t know”. I honestly feel like the last one applies to cycling teams and sponsorships. We have these athletes scratching their heads about why sponsors are leaving, wait, sprinting away. Are the athletes themselves to blame? …

Race Report: 2011 ESI Augusta 70.3 Ironman

A lot can happen in a year. In 2010, I embarked upon tackling my first half Ironman / 70.3 event. The christening event was the ESI Augusta Georgia 70.3 Half-Ironman on the last Sunday in September. I’ll be the first to tell you, I track loads of training data, but I never really analyze it. (It’s a little thing called …

USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships Part 1

This is going to be one heck of a post. Actually, it’s not a post, it will be an experience. You have been warned. You’ll laugh; You’ll cry; You’ll question your life; You’ll want to buy Jack Kane bikes over the others; You’ll probably think Shakespeare’s true successor has finally surfaced (and this is only part one!)… The word “EPIC” …

A Bout with Sciatic Pain

Pain in the a$$ is never fun. Especially for a cyclist and/or triathlete. We spend countless hours “sitting”. What makes matters worse is that it is not just on the bike, but at home, at work, in the car, in bed, etc. Therefore, when there is discomfort, especially shooting pain, it is troublesome. (Now, I am not a doctor, nor …
