Rumpass in Bumpass Sprint Tri ReportThis past week I had read a swim study on the effects of how different efforts in the swim could affect the overall race of a triathlete. It turns out that maybe a lot of us try to swim too fast during our races, only to end up not performing…

Stafford 5kVicky Jasparro (don’t coach her, but she’s still on the list) – 1st WomanSara Perez – 2nd womanRuth Olson – 3rd womanStephanie Haydon – 4th overallLynne Clemo & Helena Bozarth – #5 & 6 (they both have…

I’ve come to the conclusion that humans are really not that much different from our best canine friends when it comes to training and discipline. First we have the ‘Jack Russell’ Type of athlete. The personality of being super excited about training, always wanting to take off here and there, straining at the leash, and…

I remember my first triathlon many years ago, and how much I didn’t know about the sport.  Totally ignorant. Back then there were no wetsuits, bike seats were almost a one size fits all (or you’re a weenie), and most of the bikes weighed about as much as a good mountain bike now weighs. I…

Every year hundreds of budding new triathletes go out and purchase a new bike, or beg-borrow-steal one from a friend.  And every year many of these same athletes end up with an injury from training on a bike that does not fit them. Sure, riding a bike is a non-impact sport in general, but if…

Overall this was a great race in terms of competition. But the shameless commercialism of this sport now rivals that of NASCAR. Of all the special interest stories that I thought should have been covered more was the drug addict. Overcoming obstacles whether they be job, family, health, or self inflicted are what makes this…

Today I was told that I was rather ‘hard-headed’!  Moi? I guess I am kind of a driven person, and I can be quite focused at times (SQUIRREL!), but then again I also find myself being quite flexible at other times. But when it comes to athlete safety, I will plead GUILTY as CHARGED! So…

Sometimes a picture will say it all! Congrats to Stephanie, Lynne, Helena, Caren, and Aimee (still need results of everyone else!) Results from Marine Corps are in! Nick Pierce – 3:42 Rob Falk – 4:01 Bill Rysanek – 4:03 And Pat Quinn sets his first ‘soft’ marathon time of 4:13 – one that he will…
