Dear Mr. Armstrong

The most important rule in competition is knowing your opponent. I know exactly what you have been up to this week. Thank you Strava. And…..” Juan”. Riding 112 miles in 95 degree heat. A little ride with Bo Jackson. Then this tweet: Shouldn’t that be part of the “Sh*t triathletes say video?” Welcome to triathlon [...]

Dear Zach

I remember the day I met you kiddo. Pittsford Triathlon. Not that long ago. You were this skinny lanky kid with a smile as big as the sun. You told me you had cancer. Liver Cancer. A rare form that was inoperable and left you with a tumor the size of a small football on [...]

Taking Our Marks…..

Age 14…remember what that was like? You are about to begin high school, the world is at your feet. It’s your oyster, you can accomplish anything. Each day is your canvas, paint away. That’s how old he was when he walked up to the nurses station, where I was. He was my new admission, coming [...]

What I was promised and even surprised by  was… exactly how they followed the script to a T. From the greeting, to the closing they [...]

The Pot Sweetens

It was the Facebook post that stopped me dead in my tracks and put my feet back on the ground. It got a bit crazy around here yesterday with the arrival of the Michael Phelps kickboard. Which is natural. Then I saw this post from one of our TLC Fit Teens…….. Feet on the ground. [...]

Win a kick board signed by MICHAEL PHELPS!

Imagine my surprise when I picked the box up off my front porch today. The return address read: Doug MacLean and my heart began to RACE! Wait…. not because it was from QT2 Systems Coach and Professional triathlete Doug MacLean…… no offense…… but I knew that just a few days ago he had been swimming with Michael [...]
