Racing for Recovery
I want to introduce you all to a friend of mine. Todd Crandell and I met several years ago when I interviewed him for a piece for Transitiontimes.com. That interview bloomed into a good friendship which brought him to Philly to race the Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon.

Criminal Behavior
Perhaps the title of this post is a bit bold but I have always said it’s criminal if people have the means and ability to give back and make a difference, and don’t do anything.

Greatness Personified
On January 18th, I attended a funeral service for the father of a good college buddy. It is no surprise and no act of irony or coincidence that this celebration of life took place on the very day that we also celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Edwin “Mr. C.” Collins passed peacefully with his family by his side on January 11th. His eldest son Chris and I were good college friends in the early 1980s and have remained so through the years.
Welcome XTERRA Wetsuits
Just a quick word to welcome XTERRA Wetsuits as a 2010 sponsor. I have been hooked on XTERRA since getting the Vector Pro five years ago and am looking forward to checking out some of their new suits.
I will pass along a discount code for friends and teammates to use for great discounts on a great product line.
LLS Man of the Year Candidate
I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you all know that I just accepted a nomination to run for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Man of the Year. I was reluctant at first to take on another initiative but once I spent a minute to really think about the honor and what it stands for, it was a slam-dunk decision. What this really means is that I will embark on a fundraising campaign in early April that will run through the end of June and will try to raise as much money as possible to aid in the battle against blood cancers.
