A little adventure from last Summer...






Book Review #1

Just finished reading this book at my brothers reccomendation. Loved it. Didn't want it to end. I give it 5 out of 5.

The 3 sentence review:
  • Crystal clear memories and insights into the mind of great athlete on and off the court.
  • Tells it like it is, even if it wasn't really like what it was.
  • My paddle game (especially my return) may have actually improved thanks to this read.

I've been plowing through books lately... What should I read review next?

Training parnter...

My fuel while on the bike... so good.

NYC Half Marathon

Off-season goodness! Was only a few seconds off my Half Marathon PR. Have only been running once a week since about Thanksgiving, so this shouldn't be happening. But I did just finish reading Born to Run... maybe thats it? Either way, I'll take it.
Time: 1:35:35 (avg pace 7:17 per mile)
Splits:

2010 - A Fresh Start

Yep, I think I'm blogging again... Instead of picking up where I left of over a year ago, I deleted every old post and am starting fresh... New year, new adventures, same mediocre writing. I'll probably just focus on race and event recaps, but who knows.

The year is shapping up to be a good one... or a rough one, depending on how you look at it. My race calendar is up (in the right column) and its got bit of everything... Endurance MTB Races, Triathlons, Duathlons, XTERRA races, Ultramarathons, etc... Yikes! Better start doing some training.
