TriGreyhound: June 2009

http://trigreyhound.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 27, 2009. I've Seen This Movie Before. I hated the movie "Titanic." There I said it. Beyond being the worst movie to ever win "Best Picture," I could not see the point of starting a movie where you know how it ends. No matter what twists the writers have put into the script to keep you occupied for the next couple of hours of your life . . . THE SHIP SINKS, FOLKS. Really. And Leo isn't going to get the girl. Flash to Father Greyhound's father, who looked exactly like him who looks exactly ...

TriGreyhound: August 2009

http://trigreyhound.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 31, 2009. So, the Missus is checking on the price and necessity of "evacuation insurance" for transporting my mortal frame, in whatever injured condition, from Ironman Cozumel back to the United States. Thanks for the vote of confidence, hon. kthxbai. Links to this post. Sunday, August 30, 2009. Tale of the Tape. For lunch, I ate a potato bigger than my head smothered in ham, turkey, bacon, cheese, butter, chives and sour cream. Beer and birthday cake. Very unlike my garb this morning.

TriGreyhound: May 2009

http://trigreyhound.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 26, 2009. On Memorial Day, 2009, I returned to the site of my first ever triathlon. And on the day, I was fairly satisfied with the experience. After all it was not my "A" race of the season, and I had modest goals. I wanted to do better than my first triathlon, and I wanted to have a comfortable swim with my head in a better place than my previous efforts. What is the point? You're not going to win. You're not even getting any better. I, myself, often have to deal with the critic on...Think...

TriGreyhound: And So It Begins

http://trigreyhound.blogspot.com/2009/12/and-so-it-begins.html

Friday, December 04, 2009. And So It Begins. Maybe it's because this was my best race this year . . . maybe it's because I can't stand having no training schedule and no race calendar, even for a week . . . but this is gonna be the key race at the end of next season. October 17, 2010. Come on bloggers and Facebook friends. Let's do this thing together. Oh, I really want to do that race! Let me do some thinking about it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

TriGreyhound: So, here goes . . .

http://trigreyhound.blogspot.com/2006/03/so-here-goes.html

Friday, March 24, 2006. So, here goes . . . What does a geek do when he decides to attempt becoming a triathlete? Consult the internet, of course. Beyond triathlon focused magazines and training websites, I have been incredibly entertained by the Tri-Geek Kahuna and so inspired and motivated by his compatriot Iron Wil. Although this is probably a mistake, I too have decided to enter the world of Tri-blogging. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Houston, Texas, United States. View my complete profile.

TriGreyhound: The Best Laid Plans

http://trigreyhound.blogspot.com/2009/12/best-laid-plans.html

Wednesday, December 02, 2009. The Best Laid Plans. You might recall how I asked Coach Kris. For advice in formulating a plan for Ironman Cozumel. He gave me great advice:. Plan A for the ideal day, Plan B for if something goes wrong, and Plan C for just getting to the finish. As it turns out, I needed all three plans just to get through the hardest Ironman course I have ever experienced in two hours slower than my unstated goal. The Swim: Plan A. Squished and crowded around the turn buoys and we were hea...

TriGreyhound: December 2009

http://trigreyhound.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 11, 2009. The Most Interesting Man In The World. In the last week, I have been going back and forth on whether to man up and do Ironman St. George in May. As an unreformed addict, I'm a bit lost without an Ironman, but I think one of the main reasons Ironman is going on hiatus is that there are other things I want to try that would be impossible if I were training at an Ironman level. In fact, I am an appellate lawyer, which means I read, write and research about the courts all the time.

TriGreyhound: September 2009

http://trigreyhound.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 30, 2009. In the run up to Ironman Cozumel, I'm going to be asking my coach. Some questions, and publishing his answers here. If you have a question, enter it in the comments and we'll see if we can get the great and powerful Coach Kris. To lend us his expertise! But even when I'm well-hydrated, my heart rate really spikes when it is hot- like at Ironman Cozumel. For example. Does my lactate threshold also go to the higher heart rate or does it remain the same? Links to this post.
