This morning I woke up and got my tools out and started working on my bike. The headset was loose so I had to tighten it. In addition my rear water bottle holders were broken from the crash. So I went over to B&L on Rosecrans St in Point Loma. I got the Xlab Flating. […]

Carlsbad 1/2 Marathon […]
Well, I am officially withdrawn from Ironman Coeur d’ Alene. Ironman North America would not let me transfer to another race. They will however refund $150 of my $450 entry fee. I guess I am just a little disappointed with the organization for not being a little more accommodating. I understand that this probably happens […]
It has now been 6 days since my crash on the bike. Most of my time the past six days has been spent on the couch in a vicodin-induced haze. I take the pill, it takes 20 minutes for it to kick in, then it does it knocks me out and I fall asleep. I […]
