Today, the wind was blustery and the snowflakes flew. I knew it. I knew it was going to happen. Did I not call it? Sometimes I hate being right. I told my advisor today I am a pessimist, but only in times when I don’t feel like getting my hopes up (or c...more

Seeing myself as a polar bear
by Byline to Finish Line
posted January 28, 2010 at 4:33pm
Two years ago, swim workouts were painful.

The beauty queen triathlete
by Byline to Finish Line
posted January 21, 2010 at 5:28pm

Bike Diva's new ride?
When you are a true bike addict, like I am, you can never have too many bikes. Right now, I only own three bikes. That barely qualifies me as a bike enthusiast, let alone a bike addict. I have been thinking about getting a triat...more
