This post is pretty late, but I figured it is still good to post for record keeping. In June, I did the Tri For Fun #1 and it was the first triathlon for a couple of my friends. Well, I must have some great powers of persuasion, because I convinced two more people to [...]

This past Saturday I did the first in the Tri for Fun series in Pleasanton. This was my first race since Wildflower, and my first race since getting injured. The race went well, and I felt pretty comfortable the whole time, though my legs were quite tired. Which is to be expected after not [...]

Wildflower: “The Woodstock of Triathlons”. I can now say this seems like a very accurate description.  This past weekend was the twenty-something-th running of the Wildflower Triathlon event at Lake San Antonio on the Central Coast.
I had first heard of Wildflower a few years back when my sister told me about an event she was [...]

Over the weekend, I participated in my first Pacific Coast Trail Runs event.  I did the Stinson Beach 12k which turned out to be a more difficult event than I expected.  The trail has a pretty aggressive elevation gain with just about all of the gain at the start of the trail.  Starting from Stinson [...]

A couple months ago I heard about the San Francisco Triathlon on Treasure Island.  At the time, I knew there was a sprint and an Olympic distance, but relegated myself to the sprint distance. However, after the last triathlon I did, I just decided to try for the Olympic distance.  Last year, in 2007, I [...]

On Saturday, my local CrossFit affiliate had our Fight Gone Bad day. This was my first official FGB, and having only done it one other time, I decided to forgo the official men’s weight, and do the intermediate weight (which also happened to be the women’s weight). I did the exercises in the following order [...]

Over the weekend, I did my second 10k in 3 weeks. A running club in San Jose holds an annual trail running event with different distances. I chose to do the 10k distance as that is right now the longest distance I’m comfortable running.
The course was located in the hills south west of San Jose [...]

This morning I did my second triathlon of 2008. It was the 15th Annual Tri For Real.  This is the triathlon which the Tri for Fun series is supposed to prepare you for.  The race was good, and I felt decently comfortable for the swim and bike.  As usual, the bike seemed to be [...]

Tonight I completed my first competitive 10k.  Two weeks ago, I did the Nike+ Human Race, though I don’t really consider that in the same level, since it was by my self and there weren’t others to get the same competitive drive.
So I did the Palo Alto Online Moonlight run in 46 minutes, 29 seconds.  [...]

This morning I did my first triathlon of 2008.  It was the 21st Annual Tri For Fun #3, which is prep race for the 21st Annual Tri For Real.  The race was good, and I felt pretty comfortable the whole time.  So I just wanted to post my splits that I took on my watch [...]
