  Once again, I trained hard until a few days before the race as I was still trying to see how much I could do and still push hard in a race.  I didn't get much sleep the week before, because I was packing up to move from Wisconsin to Montana a couple days after the race.  A little drama at my house in Wisconsin I'm renting out (well pump went out and tenant's didn't have any water) the night before didn't help either.  I didn't get to bed until midnight Friday and the 4 am ...

After some time off after IM CDA, I headed back to Wisconsin for a few weeks and did a couple races.   Door County Half IM:   I don't feel like I had the best swim or run on this one, but not having a good swim is normal for me. I'm not quite sure if my legs were completely back to 100% after doing an Ironman and the 10 pounds I gained from inactivity and junk food trying to recover didn't help. I got in a battle for 5th overall over the last couple miles of the run and just didn't ha...

I put a lot into training and preparing for this race, so I guess that's going to lead me to put a lot (i.e. long-winded) into this race report. Hopefully, though, some people reading this get some pointers for their first Ironman that I learned the hard way. My goal for this race was to get to Kona and this was my first shot at trying to qualify. When I signed up for this race last summer, I thought I would be living in Missoula, MT, but that didn't work out for a few reasons. I found it very ...

  My taper for Ironman Coeur d'Alene has been going well and I got to the race site early this week after staying with friends in Montana for a couple days.  The curry chicken alone my last night there was worth the trip, but I decided to skip the pale ale.  I'll save that for Sunday night.  I'm ready to get going after an epic 30 hours in the truck to get here, but I need to chill out and let my legs rest until Sunday.  After 40+ hours of work and 20-30 hours of traini...

  Yesterday, I competed in the Green Bay "long sprint" triathlon.  It was an 800 meter swim, 29 mile bike and 10k run.  It was 48 degrees with a 20 mph NE wind at the race start.  Gotta love Wisconsin!     The gun caught us a little off guard, but I got a good start to the swim and caught on at the end of the first group.  We broke up and I fell to the second group at the first turn buoy, but that's a pretty good place for me to be.  I got out of the wat...
