Winding Down Vacation & More
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.

Don't Forget Your Chocolate
OK, I don’t mean chocolate as in the cocoa product. I mean chocolate in terms of doing special something for yourself that you love and are passionate about that also fills a void, and satisfies a need, or a sweet tooth.
Never, Ever Forgotten
Here is a race report of a different color. Although the race referenced is the 2007 ChesapeakeMan Ultra Distance Triathlon, there is not much race detail in here. This report is an open letter to anyone who has ever lost someone meaningful in their lives.
