The First Triathlon I’ve Done Twice is Just Two Weeks Away…

New York, New York. A double rainbow. Twins. Double mint gum. When unusual things happen two times it’s newsworthy, right? That’s why they say New York is so nice, they named it twice. Or the video going viral of that guy being so happy about the double rainbow. Well, I’ve got my own double delightContinue reading “The First Triathlon I’ve Done Twice is Just Two Weeks Away…”

A sprint triathlon that’s only about 3 hours from home base and I can camp on the same lake where I’ll beContinue reading “The Next Sprint Triathlon – Alligators, Goals, and the Hills”
