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…
Sunday, 12 August 2012, was the inaugural Revolution 3 Wisconsin Dells Triathlon. Tackling the Wisconsin Dells would be a mighty ambitious feet for anyone, so keep this in mind as I recap my thoughts of this year’s event. The Rev 3 race series is relatively new on the triathlon circuit with its first race in June,…
The 2012 Buffalo Triathlon is in its ninth year and going strong. The weather, wow, very nice for early June with race day temps approaching 80 F, mostly sunny skies to start, and light winds out of the south. The Buffalo Triathlon remains one of my favorite events of the year. I hope it remains…
The 2012 Minnesota Ironman Bike Ride celebrated its 46th year and I celebrated my 4th attempt at the 100 (actually 105) mile ride. It was not until Wednesday this week that I could even walk down stairs. The 50K last Saturday had taken a toll on my quads and I really could have used a…
Does a year really make a difference? Apparently so… On the 2 hour drive to Bloomer, WI, where I was spending the night, I thought about the weather which was being predicted as cold and wet for the race on Saturday morning. I had run this race last year on Holy Saturday, the day before…
Fall is without question one of the best times of year to get outside and run. The air is crisp and clean. The scenery in the upperMidwest is unsurpassed. And we Minnesota people have had an incredible stretch of weather, albeit a bit too dry. I have three race reports for you in this installment.…
The 10th Ironman Wisconsin Madison was held on Sunday, September 11, 2011. It was also the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the United States of America. I dedicated my race this year in honor of all who have sacrificed so much during and since that tragic day. There were many reminders throughout the…
