So the main goal for Vineman a week from this sunday will be to qualify for Clearwater 70.3 Worlds. My age group has 4 projected slots to give out to the first 4 finishers in my ag. If people do not have the money to pay, or the interest to race there or have already qualified already, the slot rolls down to the next person and so on. Below are the four guys and their splits who received

I am happy to say that I was named an All-American for the first time. I ranked 54th in my age group nationwide. I think the top 99 guys in my age group got All-American status. So pretty cool.Congrats to some of the other local guys who got AA honors (Aleck, Ciaverella, Folske) and Kurian & Chris Bell with Honorable Mention.

Race season has begun! I have had two great races on back to back weekends to kick off my 2009 season!The first race was Saturday April 4th on the Oregon State University Campus (The Beaver Freezer Sprint Triathlon). I really love this race because:1- its the first race of the season and I am just itching to get out and let loose2- i used to be a lard-ass when i attended that university my

Great race this year.

I just love pure racing videos. None of the other bs, just clips of the top guys & gals pushing themselves and making it happen at the world championships. Notice Stadler cramp up immediately after getting passed for 1st place by Eneko Llanos on the run (about 4:50 in)... TOUGH SPORTthe world champ's take on the race:

Angela Naeth, who's progress i followed closely last year since I am a big fan of her Coach's blog (and philosophies on life), will be on teamTBB this year as well. looking forward to seeing how many other up and commers end up out there and how they do under the boss.

James Cotter is signed up to race IronMan New Zealand on March 7th. I'm curious to see how he does at the Ironman distance. I have followed JC's blog this year and he is a strong Oly and 70.3 competitor...really strong.

Not for me (I wish i had time for that), but for Angela Naeth. This year was her rookie pro season and she had some great results. Swim is her weakness, but she kills it on the bike and is strong on the run. Keep an eye on her and we should see a huge improvement by next season....check out her coach's really good blog Here

Part of the reason is I have just been really busy with work and taking care of other things when not training. The other reason is i just was not incredibly thrilled with any of my performances as of late (except for Halfmax on the 18th). The second half of my

This last Sunday we held our 1st Annual Walk-A-Mile-For-Kyle. The walk in Kyle's memory was originally Kyle's Mom's (Debbie) idea to hold an annual walk. When Debbie met Mamie (the Portland marathon Charity contact and Medical director), we were set with an event day and a great organization (the Portland Marathon) to support our cause.Choosing Open Meadow Alternative Schools as our Charity was

Raced at Blue Lake sunday. Although the field only contained about 200 people the top 10 or so was pretty competitive. This was my first time racing the Olympic distance on the course and I was eager to see how my swim and bike fitness were coming along. I was given the instructions to "time trial" the swim and bike and then just let my running legs do what they do. Swim- 24:04- New PR for me. I

I'm calling it "Pacific Crust" because that's what I felt like after the race.....a hot freshly baked piece of crust!...... Salty crust!The day started off well with a swim in the Wickiup resevoire, which they announced was 64 degrees. When we found that out at the race meeting everyone cheered. It ended up feeling more like 66 or 67 degrees....so just nice and refreshing. Swim went well, started

One of the things that Age groupers always boast about this sport is how approachable the Professional triathletes are. You can easily find yourself chillin in the lake cooling your legs off after a hard race, only to be joined by one of the most recognizable faces in the sport...Katya Meyers (2nd place overall). That's what happened to me......although I regretfully didn't even put two and two

Well, I got my first half-Iron of the season under my belt and came home Napa Valley Vintage Half Iron Champ! The website was right when they said "the course would be as challenging as it was beautiful".Race temps started out in the upper 50's and would work their way to the mid-70's as the race progressed. That is hot for us Pacific Northwest folk this time of year. Swim- 25:32 (about 5 minutes
