Less than 12 hours later I feel like I got run over by a truck. Where’d that fucker go? Tri Indy tried my patience and my memory. It might have been one of the worst races of the season, but you know what? I finished strong, with a huge smile on my face and sprintingContinue reading “Where’d that truck come from?”

It’s all Carly Rae Jepsen’s fault my tri blew today. Her fucking song “call me maybe” happens to be the worst piece of shit out there. And it was stuck in my head for 25 miles of the bike. And some of the run. Well I guess it’s my fault, but I really dislike theContinue reading “Damn you Carly Rae Jepsen”

When I shared this idea and the title, most people loved it, but their next comment was something along the lines of “and in what free time are you going to do this?” Excellent point. So maybe I’ll get lucky and a publisher will comeContinue reading “Sausage in a Wetsuit – A humorous story about finding myself as I lose half myself training for the Ironman”
