First off is that I have migrated over to a new WordPress host this week. I kept running into things that I wanted to do that I could not with the free WordPress.com hosting, so I moved over to a custom hosting site. Migration was pretty seamless. I just have to tweak a few things. …

It has been a week of equipment failures this week. First off, the crankset on my QRoo Tri bike has come loose for the third time now and second my Swimsense watchband starting coming apart. Although this seemed to be a couple big annoyances, it could not happen at a better time and the outcomes …

From October 2010 until May 2011, I focused on building a solid base of endurance which ultimately ended totaling 2x the distance of each discipline in the half-iron distance per week : Swim 2.4 miles, Bike 112, and run 26. … There would be a time trial start for the bike and they would just run down the rows in T1 telling each athlete to go every couple seconds.
