Basil Lime Sorbet

After getting tired of the internet and Battlefield 3, I was in the mood to make some sorbet with all the warm weather we've been having lately. Living way back in the valley, any sort of plant grows like crazy. This is a good/bad thing since weeds grow x2 as fast. Anyways, my basil plant was getting outta control  si figured why not use it for something besides pesto or on salads.  Basil Lime Sorbet  2c water  2c...

Road ID

Many months ago I was browsing the web and found out that Road ID had a new band out. I wasn't a big fan of the Sport, since it rocked the cloth band, and the Elite since it was a little out of my price range. Their new band, the Wrist ID Slim, looks like those Livestrong bracelets. It can be worn when training or not training while not screaming out "Hey, look at me, I'm a triathlete!". One of the main reasons why I bought a Road ID is that the...

Tinman Time Prediction Giveaway

So on the 29th, I'll be doing the Tinman as a relay instead of individually. I did a relay last year with some friends and it was a lot of fun. So with that said, I'm giving away visors to whoever has the closest time prediction. Last year our finishing time was 2:09:52.2.  The winner will have a pick of color, and the 2nd place winner will get the other color. I'll also throw some other things in with it. Visors won't aid in performance,...

Dealing With Swim Anxiety

Anxiety during the swim sucks. It can ether overcome it or succumb to it and end up with a fat DNF. Despite coming from a competitive swim background, I'll occasionally have an "episode" while doing a OWS race or just out swimming in the ocean. My biggest fear? Drowning. To tell you the truth, I was never born a swimmer. I didn't learn how to swim till I was 11. Living on an island pretty much sucked. Anyway, finally learned how to swim a year later and the rest is history. So here's my tricks on how I deal anxiety. 1. I like to warm up for...

Non-Triathlon Tuesdays

It's a damm shame real life wasn't like this. Maybe I'd actually run more often and even enjoy it! Maybe it's just me, but running is a little mind numbing. My running routes are never the same (except track workouts) since I get bored. Maybe it's the same view at a slow pace or the lack of obstacles (drunk/high dancing bums) that gets to me. So what do you do to make running enjoyab...

Mini Blooming onion bread

With a work week of work two days and off one and work two more, I was pretty lazy to do anything really productive. It just so happened that I had these mini sourdough buns in the kitchen and wondered what I could do with it. First thing came to mind was the Blooming Onion bread. Well not exactly but you get the idea. Mini Blooming Onion Bread 1 mini sour dough bread load 1/4 stick butter 3 stalks green onion (minced) 2 cloves garlic (minced) 2...

Non-Triathlon Tuesdays

Today's one of those days that I really don't have anything to do at work. Since tomorrow is a holiday, it feels like a Friday but it's not. Weather wise, it's overcast, occasional showers and a slight breeze. Not very encouraging weather to go out for a bike ride. Days like these make me miss my old jobs and the characters that made it worthwhile. On slow days we'd go and play with the snakes Well not all the snakes These were pretty...
