Age Group Profile: Susanna Loewy
Known to her legion of fans on the Internet, triathlon blogger Susanna Loewy, aka, Curly Su, is a doctoral student at Rutgers University, amazing flutist and hardcore triathlete. In my ongoing quest to learn from others in the multisport world, I contacted Loewy to talk about her efforts at achieving a balance between triathlon and the rest of her busy life. You know, stuff like family, friends, work, school…you name it.

Mt. Taylor Profiles: Eric “Sully” Sullivan
Tomorrow marks 25th anniversary of the Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon. It should be an epic race and true test of the men and women who truly embody the spirit of multisport endurance athletes. All eyes, however, will be on the battle between four-time champion Josiah Middaugh and top challenger Eric “Sully” Sullivan. I had the pleasure of chatting with Sully a couple of weeks ago about the race, his preparation, as well his tips for first-timers.

Mt. Taylor Profiles: Lisa Goldsmith
To say that Lisa Goldsmith lights up the room is an understatement. Her life force, energy, aura, chi, whatever you want to call it, was apparent for all to see. Even after a grueling day running up and down the mountain, she had the smile and vibe of someone who had just come back from a week at the spa.
I wanted to talk to Lisa for this series on Mt. Taylor athletes under the assumption that she was returning to the mountain this weekend. Unfortunately, her training for the Boston Marathon in April has pushed the Quad to the backburner for this year. Lisa, however, does provide a great perspective on the race and endurance training in general. Just one look at her resume should impress the hell out of anyone who has ever toed a start line.

Mt. Taylor Profiles: Josiah Middaugh
The first time I saw Josiah Middaugh he was running down a mountain at Mach 3. We were at the 2007 Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathalon and were somewhere close to three hours into the epic event where athletes race 42 miles to the top (and back) of the highest peak in northwest New Mexico. With the 25th Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon only days away, I had the good fortune to chat with this remarkable athlete about his training and plans for this year’s attempt at a fifth consecutive victory.

Q&A with Jen Heath: How to not look like your typical skinny fat endurance athlete
Jen Heath is a fast rising star among America’s fitness gurus, particularly in the area of physique transformation. She’s a been there, done that, got the tank top, kind of gal. While she was athletic in her youth, pregnancy skyrocketed her weight to 195 pounds and a her self-esteem to an all-time low. She then underwent an amazing process to re-shape her body, ultimately creating a physique that earned her a bodybuilding pro card during her first competition last year.
She’s built such an amazing following of women, and men, who seek her advice on how to reshape their bodies, that I thought she would be able to impart some sound advice to us multisport athletes who are looking to shed a few winter pounds and get leaned out for the racing season. If you think weight training has no value, keep reading to see the remarkable results she got for a couple of local triathletes.
