On Saturday, August 21, 2021, the inaugural Tri CLE Rock Roll Run took place on the shores of Lake Erie in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Yes, I still consider Cleveland my hometown even though I have been living in Cottage Grove, MN, a SE suburb of St. Paul, for nearly 27 years now. The…
The 2021 Graniteman Big Lake Triathlon, celebrating its 12 year anniversary and my 3rd opportunity to race here, had a dicey start with lighting and lotso’ rain throughout. A big shout out to the RD, the staff, and all of the amazing volunteers for pulling off a really good event; a sincere thank you. On…
Hello there 🙂 This officially is my first post on this site, which was originally started in December last year. I had big plans for it, but as they say, life kind of got in the way. I hope to one day (in the not too distant future) transfer my blog (which also has been…
It has been quite a while since I posted a race report, and I hope the hiatus is now over. Many know that the last year or so have been challenging for me and my family, and ‘Lost in Transition’ has a completely new meaning for me these days. However, we will put that back…
Race day this year was Saturday, April 4, 2015, Holy Saturday, the third day of the Triduum, better known as the day before Easter. This was the 6th annual running of the event which started in 2010. The course has been basically the same over its six years with only the start/finish line changing from the…
My last blog post was two-weeks prior to my last Ironman in Madison, Wisconsin, on 08 September 2013. It was not my best Ironman Wisconsin finish, and it was not my worst. What I remember is the thousands of volunteers and spectators that cheered and encouraged the 2336 finishers across the line. I remember watching Dan…
I can’t hardly believe that the race in Madison is only two weeks from today.Really, where does the time go? The last long workout is in the books and taper officially begins on Monday with a DOR (day of rest). I’m not excited about tapering because it’s kind of like being in a pitch black room,…
Mid-Year Update I’m really getting kind of lackadaisical with my blogging. You know what they say; the older you get the faster time seems to pass. Well, if it goes much faster I might fall off this ride 🙂 Since my last post back in February, eight events have come and gone. With only one other…
 It is the eve of the first race of the 2013 season and time to officially publish the 2013 Race Calendar. There are still a couple of open dates and some built-in flexibility to allow for adjustments if needed. The year will completely revolve around the race in Madison on Sunday, September 08, 2013. The first half…
Well you must feel like the ‘Red-Headed Step Child’. It’s not that I’ve been ignoring you intentionally, really. I think about you almost daily, but I’ve just been unable to ink the pen and write to you like I should. So in an attempt to make up, and catch up, I think I’ll break this…
