Equilateral Triathlon

I have never even heard of this before???? But I like the new Ironman Distance on here described as a 12km swim /96.2 km bike / 42.2 km run that would be fantastic, NO WETSUITS!!!!! Shall we take this to the Adelaide Vales Race Director? (don’t think I would have much chance getting it passed [...]

The Way It Is

There’s a thread you follow. It goes among

People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can’t get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get [...]

Mission Possible!!

You have to love this quote! If you are anything like me and I think most triathletes, you have the ability to over analyze, scrutinize and theorize everything you do! Give it a rest and just do stuff!!! This week maybe you could switch off the speedo, the heart rate monitor the cadence meter, [...]

a bit about faith!

GREAT QUOTE from Steve Turner in Q about U2 and faith: ‘Bono is publicly quiet about the faith that inspires the songs because, he says, it’s far too precious to dice into newspaper quotes. Three years ago he made the point like this: “What I have to say is so important that I’d only trust [...]
