A Pirate’s Conquest of Ironman St. George
One of my favorite amateur endurance athletes to follow online is the Dread Pirate Rackham. We’ve tracked each other’s exploits for the past three years — me more than her since I’ve pretty much been exploitless since going back to school — and I’m a huge fan of her sense of humor and quick wit.

5-1/2 Questions with Jen Heath: Post-Season Training
My favorite physique coach Jen Heath is back to share some advice on how to transition from your race season to off-season. Here’s a hint: It involves lifting some weights and being mindful of what you stick in your mouth.
The Great Experiment: Finding what’s left of my spine
The first week of my Great CrossFit/CrossFit Endurance Experiment has come to a conclusion with a literal bang. What a strange seven days it has been and new uncharted territory is being explored by yours truly. Sometimes life’s best lessons are the ones that cause the most pain. If that’s true, then this is becoming one of humdinger of an education.
The Anti-Christ endurance training plan
I’ve finally gotten around to writing about what my training approach will be for the 2009 racing season. It’s time to shake things up a bit. Partly out of necessity and partly out of a desire to see if what people say is true. Can an age-group athlete see a dramatic performance improvement by doing everything the near opposite of what the Gods of Triathlon have declared to be true? Will my Lycra be repoed?
Un-retiring from multisport: Standard aerobic training ain’t working
Last September, I said I was semi-retiring from the sport of triathlon. The lure of triathlon’s siren song, however, is strong. As of last week, I am officially unretiring from my semi-retirement. While my life has not changed, I’m going to put myself in guinea-pig mode for the 2009 season and will go through what many traditionalists consider to be the Anti-Christ Method of endurance training.
Q&A with Craig Weller of Barefoot Fitness
“I’ve always gravitated towards the development of physical fitness. The body is the physical manifestation of one’s state of mind, so a strong mind equals a strong body and vice versa. Being fit, healthy, strong… whatever you want to call it; it’s so much more than some superficial aspect of life. It’s one of the most important things there is.”
RACE PREVIEW: Cyprus Triathlon, April 12, 2009
With the state of the current economy being in the toilet, you may not be able to justify the expense of an airline ticket to fly to Cyprus this April, but it would definitely be worth the trip. According to Kypros Nicolaou, triathlete and one of the organizers of the Cyprus Triathlon, the island’s 200-member triathlon community may be small, but their energy is large.
Age Group Profile: Jaakko Hiekkaranta
Since reading about the lifestyles of the pros is usually educational, sometimes entertaining, and rarely practical, I am far more interested in learning more about Jane and Joe Lunchbucket. You know, the multisport athletes like you and me. One such noteworthy age group triathlete is Jaakko Hiekkaranta of Finland.
Triathlete Lisa Hütthaler banned for two years
The purist in me believes athletes who use performance enhancing drugs are cheating. Plain and simple. On the other hand, the realist accepts that there isn’t a shit of a difference between taking a banned substance and taking a legal substance to enhance an athlete’s performance. Either way, another triathlete gets enmeshed in the latest doping scandal. Click to read more.
Jodi Thomson: Brains, beauty, and a bike named Mike Honcho
In the world of endurance multisports, there is no shortage of interesting profiles on the top athletes in marathon, triathlon, cycling, you name it. Since most of us have to squeeze our training in between full-time jobs, family or school commitments, I want to showcase those amateur athletes who can juggle it all and still be passionate about their sports. One such remarkable young woman is Dr. Jodi Thomson.
