Soma Half Triathlon is upon us. Squeeky and I walked to Starbucks at 6:30AM and saw an absolutely amazing full moon just setting on the walk over.
The rest of the gang is meeting Topher at Landis at 10:30, assuming the Cleveland to Phoenix flight treats the ladies nicely.
Topher has quite an itinerary planned out [...]

It was a lot of fun. Kind of a cold, windy and dark at the start (that is my excuse for hitting the channel marker). The wind switched directions to a NorEaster the night before the race. But the water was warm ( too warm for wetsuits) and the bike was mostly sheltered from the [...]

I somehow managed to finish. Click here for the recap.
What good are friends?
Squeeky drove us out to New Hope Overlook Park and ran the Duke Half course with me. He didn’t complain (much) when I got us lost and we had to scamper an extra 2.5 miles on a hot [...]

Got an email today from a good friend – posted below:
Rama,
The swimmer of my triathalon team tore her rotator cuff. If you know any ladies who swim and are not already participating in the Wilmington triathalon, I would appreciate if you would see if they would be interested in being on our team.
Hope all [...]

Great run and great turnout today for our Bridge to Nowhere run! The trails were packed, the weather was reasonable, and the banter was top notch.
Litl’bit was running strong and had enough electrolytes in her Fuel Belt to bang out 20, but she wisely took the foot off the gas and turned [...]

So Rap Master Sass made some remark about a ‘newfie’ in an email about a week or so ago. I thought, hmm, maybe a typo? Did he mean ‘newbie’? What the hell is a newfie [...]

The Triangle Running Group has quite a crowd going to Burlington NC this Saturday for the Buckner Mission Man Triathlon 2007. All of the Setup Events triathlons that I have enjoyed this year have been thoughtfully organized, well run, and extremely fun. I expect this one to be a blast as well.

From the Ironman himself, I got some wonderful advice on what to stuff in my Bento Box for the upcoming Duke Liver Center Half 2007. I write ‘Liver Center’ rather than just Duke Half, because his suggestion makes me feel like I need to go for a visit after contemplating eating one of these [...]

What could be better than a police escort down Kildaire Farm Road at 8:00AM on Independence day? Riding 100k and crossing into 3 counties, riding past a nuclear power plant, several train tracks, a large lake or two – all with 800 other friendly Triangle Area cyclists.
