Non-Tritahlon Tuesdays

It's a little slow and cold in the office soup for lunch kind of day. Finally got to try some new recipes this past weekend and I'll share those soon. Here's some Tuesday randoms. Enjoy. Masters swim meet a few weeks ago. Meet was super casual (thus the no swim cap), most of the swimmers were from our club and I was the only one in my AG. It was fun despite the small turn out. Also did some hiking on the trails near my house this past weekend. Friends...

What is a normal life?

It's almost 3 weeks after Honu, I'm finally getting back into running, however haven't been biking much since the bike still needs to be fixed. Swimming was going great until my rotator cuff decided to act up again. Due to financial reasons I probably won't do any more triathlons maybe till October or hold off until next year. It would be great to go out and do some but it gets expensive. Most races here are around ~$90+ for a sprint. Hard times if you ain't balling. So after 6 months of training, I've found myself with not much to do that didn't...

2012 Honu Pre- Race Report

After walking the whole 1/2marathon last year and almost finishing last in my AG, you'd think that I would never do this race again..However, I'm one not to throw in the towel so easily. Since I'm originally from the Big Island, use this as a home visit, see my parents, friends and see what's new in town. Last year when I went back it was in the low 50s and raining. Not very fun. This year it was in the mid 50's to mid 60's and SUNNY! . It's pretty...
