Beautiful Color

The best part of traveling is to see new things, some of these new things are in places you would never think to look. Check out the beautiful color at a terminal walk way in Chicago O’hare airport.

I Hate Dancing With the Stars

It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion with bad commentary. Why do people like this crap.

Great Triathon Article

// July 22nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Events, Training, Triathon

This is a great article for anyone looking at doing their first Triathlon.   In my training for the XTERRA Off-road Triathlon on August 15th I started searching for a guide or site to help me out in my training.  I believe I found it with www.beginnertriathlete.com.  The site is a great resource for information, product reviews and stories.  Reading through the site I came to the conclusion of a few things.

1) I have no idea what I’m in for.

2) I may not be ready for this.

3) I’m not training enough or training right for my event

4) I do not have the right equipment to do this

5) I may die or get eaten by a fish or raccoon.

5) I believe I’m stubborn and dumb enough to push my body and mind through this, so I have a chance

With that in mind,  my training continues and if succeed in this the next step is a Ironman 70.3 in 2010.

Please check out the great story for a man documenting his first Ironman 70.3

Eight Things I Learned from My First Triathlon

Weekend Adventure Race

// July 20th, 2009 // No Comments » // Goals, Mountain Bike

Third adventure race of the year is complete and it was great.  Over the weekend myself and a few co-workers decided at taking on the  Cornhusker State Games adventure race at Platte River State Park.  The was short (2-4 hours) but very challenging.  All in all it ended up being around 4 miles of running, 4 miles of biking, 2 crazy team challenges, and a paddle boat adventure.

In a nutshell the day was great, the team did great and I’m feeling really good about how my running and biking are going.

Next step is the XTERRA Triathlon @ Branched Oak Lake and possibly the Wild Hares 12-hour Adventure Race … who can teach me how to swim!
