Another Ironman World Championship in the books and what a race it was.

We must become like ourselves
by Byline to Finish Line
posted October 11, 2012 at 7:11pm
No watch. None. Not my fancy Garmin watch with pace and distance nor my Timex Ironman watch with the timer function, lap button and memory storage. My only clue to the time of day came from the ringing church bells, which always seem to beat the actual to...more

Dead last: The power of showing up
by Byline to Finish Line
posted September 26, 2012 at 2:01pm

by Byline to Finish Line
posted September 25, 2012 at 8:44am
Settle into the pain. That’s what I tried to tell myself on the bike. But I couldn’t settle into much. All I could think about was the pain. I tried to distract myself by singing, starting with all 22 verses of “American Pie” (I th...more

The Women's Senior Elite Road Race Championships, Holland

Triathlon rewards the patient
by Fast at Forty
posted July 26, 2012 at 2:42pm
I had a very interesting conversation with an athlete the other day. He made a very astute observation, a concept that I try to impress upon my mentees, but often is ignored or forgotten. He said, “You know, I have a question. It seems that tr...more

Let's get physical
by Fast at Forty
posted July 24, 2012 at 8:14am
There should be a requirement that doctors must have a sense of humor. It really makes the doctor/patient interaction so much more comfortable when you can share a laugh. This morning I paid a visit to my internist whom I will heretofore refer to as Dr. D...more

by Loren Fogelman
posted May 13, 2012 at 8:12pm
Too frequently triathletes are told by their coaches to ignore what is going on around them. The coaches who tell you to just not do it are unaware of the power of habit. Following the crowd, going out too fast because of the other athletes around you, ...more
