Over Hill and Dale
There was a tidal surge in Sausalito on Sunday morning which is problematic if you want to bike past Sausalito. Scores of weekend cyclists were being turned back on the bike path and from the freeway offramp. Julie and I

Post Thanksgiving, training is starting to ratchet up a notch. Wednesday’s used to be a strength day and now have been replaced with a morning ride and run. Training through the winter (albeit in California) is a bit of a

The “Evil” Book
A fair amount of people have asked what training program I am following. After searching high and low, hearing some absurd versions of training schedules, and conceding that I didn’t have a clue about how to properly train, I have

Saturday, Julie had a breakthrough race at Treasure Island finishing 7th out of 105 in her age group. In typical fashion, she smiled her way through the entire event (including the plunge into the icy Bay). Video before the race
