Last night I went to Masters at Coronado and boy was I in for a rude awakening. I swam my butt off and still could only complete 2/3 of the workout. 9 weeks ago I was known around lane 4 as the delightfully goofy guy who lead the lane. Last night I started out 2nd […]
Today Felipe had me do intervals at fiesta Island. Usually the monotany of the Island make the workout less than desireable. But tonight was different. My good coach Felipe recently told me that I need to focus more. He said it in response to this post. In addition, there was no way in hell I […]
Due to increasing pressure from friends I am posting this entry against my will. I wanted to wait until KOZ posted the splits… but they are slackin. Today was the 2007 San Diego International Triathlon. This was my first race back from “The Fall.” I was pleasently surprised with my performance. I really just wanted […]
Last night’s trank workout was fantastic. I show up about 15 minutes early and all my friends, with the exception of Denner, Paul, Wilcox, and a few other were there chatting away about various things. Said hello to Luke, Coach, Freddy and a few others. The evening started with a nice 10 minute warmup which […]
Today Brian Gunn and I met up after work to do a swim in Mission Bay. We swam in a part that is cleaner then Fiesta Island… but it is still kindof bad. We wanted to get a feel for the distance of the swim portion of the San Diego International Triathlon coming up on […]
Yesterday was my first full day of training and boy are my legs sore today. So sore I skipped my bike ride this morning. Yesterday I woke up and went to Fiesta Island and did a few laps around the island. It was an easy ride for the most part… but my heart rate was high […]
First of all I want to start by saying that today I read one of the most inspiring and interesting blogs I have ever read. The guys name is Jeff and his blog is about his battle with cancer. I heard about him from my friend Ryan Denner and they were/are still friends from college. […]
After driving 10 hours through the night, I am home from Clearlake, CA. This weekend was a tremendous learning experience for me. I got an up-close look at how the professionals race and I was a bit surprised.
I believe there were 29 pros racing. I was surprised to see that some of the professionals are […]
Greetings from Clearlake, CA. I know what you’re thinking and the answer is NO. The lake is NOT clear. Yesterday Marty and I drove 10 hours north, through the awesome city of San Francisco, up to Clearlake. It is SO much different up here. It is beautiful in a completly different way than SD. It […]
This morning I joined Papi (my dad) for his usual 1.5 mile jog on the bay. Unlike last time, I was able to keep my heart rate down, making the run pain free. Papi hasn’t been running very long but he has a very natural stride and high cadence. He looks great and enjoys running. […]
