Monday Morning Stand Up: Seafair Weeks 6-7-8 + Portland Weeks 1-2-3 2014 Training

For lack of a better way to combine the concurrent training threads, I'm now officially lumping them both together in the headline. The last few weeks have been insanely bizarre.

Triathlon Is Not A Solitary Sport: Here’s 70.3 Miles of Dedications

On the cusp of my first half Ironman race, I thought I'd take the time to do something I've been thinking about since my first marathon...I wanted to dedicate each mile of my race to someone important to me. Triathlon is definitely not a solitary sport. Sure, you train alone, but it's really the journey … Continue reading Triathlon Is Not A Solitary Sport: Here’s 70.3 Miles of Dedications →
