So I have a beard. This isn’t to say it’s a great beard. In fact it’s probably only a step away from “patchy facial hair,” but I think it just barely squeezes by the threshold of beard status. I started growing the beard on the first day of training for 2011, so I started calling […]
Or, How I Ended Up in Kenya 45 Hours Later As I mentioned previously the San Francisco Triathlon at Treasure Island was a pretty good race for me. Yes, my run wasn’t nearly as it dominant as it has been throughout the year, and I know my ninth place finish might not look like anything

Here is the long version: We arrived in Turkey after relatively uneventful travel from the States (I did get upgraded to business class for the Chicago – Frankfurt leg, though, which was awesome).

Here is the short version of what happened at the race this past weekend. I would post the long version but I just arrived in Germany and it’s past my bedtime. In the women’s race Justine Whipple dominated and brought home the USA’s first World University Championship gold medal. She also lead the way to
