Well folks, I am moving to Oregon. I’m going to be building bicycles for Bike Friday in Eugene, Oregon. After spending my entire life in the Bay Area it is slightly daunting to be moving to a town where I don’t know a single person.
Since getting back from my trip I have been working at [...]
Read this while I was up in the Yukon. It is on my mind again tonight.
The Men That Don’t Fit In by Robert Service
There’s a race of men that don’t fit in,
A race that can’t stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field [...]
This weekend is the Wildflower triathlon. It is my first half ironman race since last year.
I am feeling pretty confident about my bike and run. I swam today at Aquatic Park and my open water swimming is not where I would like it to be. Even though I am getting much more comfortable in the [...]
Run-on sentence of the day:
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who actually strive to do the deeds; [...]
So I went to my first yoga class ever last night. My thinking was that a yoga class would help me stretch out and recover from training weekend. It might also motivate me to stretch more often. The class I went to was along the lines of “kick your ass power yoga”. The poses were [...]

It is a ton of fun with all the teams together and the camping helps everybody get to know each other. It’s also a good chance to see [...]
Last night I stayed up way too late geeking out with Google Earth on the Wildflower Course. It’s a ton of fun and it’s interesting to learn things about the area that aren’t on the race map. It seems so much more adventurous to think that we will be cycling through Williams Canyon instead [...]
I’ve been getting some grief for not updating my blog. I deserve it. There’s nothing worse than a stale blog. Well…. actually the list of things worse than a stale blog is pretty long when you figure it has to span a domain that includes war, famine and athletes foot. Let’s just say that in [...]
Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life!
Actually I’ve been back. I got back in on Tuesday. I’ve been quiet since then as I’ve been a little under the weather. The frame building school went great. I had a blast and came home with an (almost) complete frame. The thing is my training went out the window. I drank more pints than [...]
