Kure Beach Double Sprint Triathlon

Posted on 1:49 PM by Unknown
Pre-Race:Marty rode his bike to Wilmington on Friday (134 miles). I worked all day, packed up the car, and met him and Tom and Richard at a bar in downtown.Saturday morning we ran an open water swim clinic and got to practice running into the surf and swimming in the waves. Then Marty and I checked out the Fort Fisher Aquarium.We also got Tassie a present from the gift shop which she seems to enjoy.This is a wacky race. It's like no other sprint...

I Got Lucky

Posted on 5:27 PM by Unknown
Yesterday I walked into the cafeteria at work and saw the seating area was PACKED. They have a couple of flat screen tv's hanging up and during big sports events you can find a lot of workers hanging out (don't worry, we have wifi in there :) This is especially handy during the NCAA tournament since we have so many Duke and UNC grads. Anyways, unless you've been living under a rock, the US won their game yesterday against Algeria to move onto the next round. When I walked into the cafeteria, it was already 90 mintes into the game. I turned around...

Boone Training Camp

Posted on 11:04 AM by Unknown
You may have already read Marty and Kari's blogs about this past weekend - and here's mine! A couple of months ago, Marty sent out an email to our athletes, some triathlete's on the master's team, and a couple of close friends to see if anyone had any interest in a training weekend in the mountain's. The interest was HIGH and within a week we had a full house. Within another 2 weeks we had more interest so a group rented another house! We were all...

Weekend Recap

Posted on 12:58 PM by Unknown
Open water swim clinic at one of the Jordan Lake beaches on Saturday morning. Warm water and a great group. I got to paddle around on Marty's rescue board which was super fun. Hot run afterwards through Bond Park. At least it's shady in the park, not so much on the run to and from. I made it an hour and it was the opposite of fast, but it's something. I'm slowly going to work on building up the run mileage again.PT appointment with the always awesome Lori von Alten. She is fantastic but the appointments are highly frustrating. This is a common...

Coming Soon...

Posted on 1:10 PM by Unknown
When we lived in Orlando, Marty and I used to go to Tijuana Flats a lot. This is a great Tex-Mex restaurant that has yummy fresh food, good prices and buckets of beer. Does that have Gaal written all over it or what? It was started by a couple of UCF students (my alma mater) and I think there were 2 restaurants when we were there.They franchised and kind of exploded in Florida over the past few years. They've also started popping up in other in states, including one in Raleigh. Even though it's not that far away (~20 min) Marty and like to stick...

Jordan Lake Open Water Challenge

Posted on 9:05 AM by Unknown
As one may have deduced, Marty has a deep love for swimming. He’s not just fast, he relishes in it, particular in the open water and more particularly in the ocean. He declared about 2 years ago that he wanted to put on some open water swim races in the area since we had several lakes but no races. I said, ‘Sounds good, Marty. Go for it.’Now we’re in the 2nd year of the Triangle Open Water Swim Series, with the 2nd race of the season occurring this...

Breezy Point Race Report

Posted on 6:51 AM by Unknown
Marty, Tassie and I drove up to Virginia on Saturday afternoon. It was HOT. We made it to my sister's house and Tassie reunited with Jessie the Great Dane. Jackson is the newest addition (another Great Dane) and he is one big, dumb, happy dog. Those are the best :)Here they are all sitting for cookies.What the heck were we watching?!I checked out the entry list and saw some familiar names from racing up in this neck of the woods a few times now....
