My foot slipped as I eased out of my car at 5:30 in the morning. It was a crisp, but pleasant, morning, not bad at all for a run. Only problem was, this wasn’t just a run; it was a speed workout. The warmup jog revealed patches of black ice and the outd...more

Normally, at the beginning of each year I map out a race plan for the season. This year, I put the ritual on hold. My uncertainty about racing triathlon, or even racing at all, led me to procrastinate until I could no longer ignore the truth. I will not b...more
