So-called “spring” is here but don’t let the calendar fool you. It’s not spring, at least not in Wisconsin. Its been cold, windy, and snowing. Yes snowing in April. While this is something that happens from time to time the past year feels different. It doesn’t feel like we’ve had seasons in over a year. […]
Signing up for a race, out in California, in January sounds like a great idea. Especially when you live in Wisconsin. The chance to get away from the cold is basically a dream come true but it’s not all rainbows and unicorns in training land. Here are are a few tips that I use to […]
Seriously though. How is it already August? It’s been a strange summer here in Wisconsin. A cool start, followed by rain. So much rain, it’s not even funny. Now all of a sudden it’s August and it somehow is just starting to feel like summer is here to me. It has been a busy last […]

This Sunday June 18th marks two special occasions all in one day. First off, it’s a day to celebrate our fathers here in America! Second marks the first 70.3 or half Ironman race for me this year! I’m going to talk about the second occasion since my father already knows how much I care about […]
