Ultra Rob saved my life in Leadville!!!

When my friend Wade, asked me to join him on a training ride in Leadville, I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I agreed to go. I knew it was going to be a long ride and a big day but I don't think I knew how big.

He explained that we would park in one place and go up the Columbine climb and then head back across and go up the Powerline climb. Sounded easy enough. Little did I know that we were going to park 22 miles away from the base of the Columbine…

Afternoon Westside Road Ride

Got out on the road bike today for a much needed and hilly road rode.



I started at my house in Pleasant Valley and headed up Fontmore/Filmore over to where it meets Centennial Blvd. I took Centennial North past Vindicator to where it turns into Woodmen Rd. I proceeded down Woodmen out by I-25 and made a right on to Corporate Center Dr. and then another quick right onto Mark Dabling. Took Mark Dabling down to Rockrimmon Blvd. and took that up to Vindicator. Made a left on Vindicator,… Continue

Boulder Peak Race Report

(also found on http://bananadeath.blogspot.com)

The Boulder Peak has been around for 19 years. It's a classic race in Boulder with a short, yet challenging climb during the first 7.5 miles of the race. The run course is pretty flat with a few short hills, but it is exposed and it's more often than not really hot. I did the race last year for the first time. Here's my account of the weekend and the 2nd time at the Boulder Peak.



Saturday:… Continue

How to set up an efficient transition - Part 1: T1

The transition is sometimes called the fourth sport in triathlon. Since the clock doesn't stop when we switch from swim to bike or bike to run, we need to make these stops as smooth and efficient as possible. There are many ways to do this, and everyone will have their own individual style, but I will walk you through some basics that will help shave some time off your transition. Wouldn't it be nice to shave two minutes off your race time without expending any…

The best swim of the year!

I've been feeling a bit distracted lately with my training so I've sort of just gone with the flow. I ride when I feel like riding, I run when I feel like running and I swim when I feel like swimming. This has lead to a lot more rest and I've actually gained a couple pounds. So this morning when I went swimming, I wasn't expecting much. Turns out, I've never felt stronger in the water. I could tell it was going to be a good work out as soon as I got in the water. The first lap felt… Continue

Taking Hand-ups from Aid Stations Part 2 - The Run



It's not as convenient to carry fluid and nutrition on the run (though there are many good products out there to do just that). But if you don't need to carry something specific, then the aid stations will be there to provide fluid and some nutrition like gels and pretzels for the longer races. Even though it seems straight forward to grab a cup of water when you run, you might be surprised at the issues they can cause. Again, you should know what's going to be at the… Continue
