A discussion went around on the Train-This Triathlon Team google group the other day, involving thinking too much. Gretchen sent out a great article linked right here that detailed changing and creating habits. The reason we have our google group is for fun things and discussions between our athletes, just like the one that followed. [...]

This amount of snow is not impressive. At all. But the “sky is falling” mindset of the local weatherman is rather impressive. You’d think the apocalypse was occurring. The one good thing about the snow day though is that our rate of car accidents will hopefully be lower when I am at work later on today. Should [...]

Tuesday I did something I never do. I moved a workout. Gasp. I know I know. But the week is created a certain way, it’s not meant for shuffling around. But I had a rough go of hill bounding on Tuesday. The training started off great, the tempo bike was nailed without even looking. My [...]

Friday morning was light in terms of folks in the pool. Normally we have our coach on deck but it’s winter break and she gets to have a break. Woman coaches 10 days a week for heaven’s sake! So it was us and the workout and the pool. I was surprised that the group actually [...]

Just as there are certain things that make runners runners….. there are things that make swimmers swimmers. The effortlessness it takes to slide into the water, the good feeling of snapping that goggle strap around the back of my head. The pressing in of the goggles with the heels of my hands. The water is always [...]

My head is down and my eyes are forward watching my feet turn circles in the mirror in front of me. I use the mirror for that reason. It gives me something to look at when I look away from the computer screen and the mountain that I ride towards yet never arrive at. The [...]
