Almost an Ironman

By Steve | Published: July 14, 2009
I know I typically post my own thoughts here, but I'll make an exception in this case. This recap of Rhonda Cohen's near ironman experience is worthy of sharing. I have known Rhonda for a numbers of years and have followed, (or dare I say helped fuel) Ronda's passion and drive along the way. She has often called me a source of her inspiration. But her story is one of perseverance, drive, and overcoming what may seem impossible - or at least unlikely. Although Rhonda slightly missed the mark with this ironman attempt, she still epitomizes everything that a triathlete stands for and remains an inspiration for many women.

Winding Down Vacation & More

By Steve | Published: July 11, 2009
This was already a special race because we were using it to recognize the late Brad Schoener, and Brad's wife and family were there to support and present the awards. Although I still don't feel my actions warrant an award, I am really touched that someone gave me a nod like that simply for doing what I love to do. So my point is - yes - you can make a difference simply by harnessing what you love to do.

At the Shore

Greetings from the South Jersey shore. Yes, "shore" and not "beach" as you Delaware folks would say. The beach is where you go after you get to the shore. Anyway .....

Comfort Zone Expansion Project

By Steve | Published: July 3, 2009
One of the reasons that I became so involved with the sport of triathlon was the fact that it gave me an opportunity to expand my comfort zone dramatically. Not that I had a small one to begin with, but I always felt the need to keep growing mine.

Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon

By Steve | Published: June 26, 2009
This weekend is the big Philly Triathlon. I don’t race this one. Instead I wear multiple other hats including race staff and TNT coach. This is a national Team in Training event so the race raises significant dollars for the fight against blood cancers.
