Still in the Woods
I try to not have too much an opinion on certain topics simply because I would rather not fuel a fire that should never have been started in the first place. I am not even a fan of golf but I am a fan of people so in this situation, I feel the need to voice an opinion of Tiger Woods. I am not going to second guess, find fault, or criticize his actions or his moral compass. While I certainly don’t agree with any of it, I’d rather not dig around in his dumpster. He did what he did and his issues are now his, and his family’s to deal with.

The Athlete’s Plate
Real Food for High Performance - A great new book by Adam Kelinson. Living the active lifestyle doesn't always leave time to shop for and prepare great meals. But for fuel-starved endurance athletes, there is no substitute for real food.
Descartes, Lennon, and a Priest
I have recently reconnected with a few more old college friends and every time I think back to my Cabrini College days I am flooded with great memories of wonderful people and great times. Admittedly, I was not the model student or citizen back then but I wasn’t too far off track and I certainly don’t regret anything I did or didn’t do back then. I know all of my experiences have helped shape who I have become. There are two memories however that always seem to stand out as being the most meaningful that I know will remain with me forever.

Doylestown Duathlon Update
All pre-registered athletes will receive fully sublimated long sleeve technical T-shirts from Sweatvac. Sublimated shirts don’t have logos which can peel off or fade or cause chaffing. You can train in the shirt that lets people know you raced in one of the toughest and most competitive duathlons in the nation.
Speaking of That
I am often asked to share “my story”. You know the one…. Healthy triathlon guy gets leukemia. Healthy triathlon guy gets treated and reaches remission. Healthy triathlon guy resumes racing. Healthy triathlon guy becomes a triathlon coach for Team in Training and an advocate for the disease. The end… err, no …. To be continued….
