During yesterday’s market tumble, I saw this tweet from @lokibeat… It made me chuckle, but it also made me think of a couple of things triathletes and runners can hopefully relate to. First of all, the practical… I prefer to think of dips in the market the same way I do water stops. At first glance, water stops cost me time in races because I walk them. But the truth Read More ...

Ok. I’ve noticed a lot of people are landing here looking for the answer to that one simple question…”What is the best way to train for a half iron distance race (70.3 miles) and finish in under six hours?” I wrote a longer, more detailed post about one strategy to do this a while back.

It also means four years of not packing for a triathlon or setting up a transition spot. I’m probably overthinking this, but I thought it would be a good idea to make my packing list official, that way I can make notes as I go and also refer back to it for Read More ...
