MS150 Prepping

Howdy, Yos!

I'm packing up tonight to do the MS150 (a looooooooooong bike ride) and I thought I'd update my blog. Wow, I've done a ton of podcasts since I last updated. Here's the list -

The Key to Pyramids

I dump a bunch of voicemails on ya from the Boston Marathon, Singapore, and the Tour de Georgia.

This House of Ironman is Built with Bricks

I play tons of voicemails as I cruise the Texas countryside and almost get hit by a car.

Coach Adam Holds Class

Coach Adam holds a conference call and answers training questions for over an hour.

Gizmo chat with Moonpie and Jetdriver

Moonpie and Jetdriver call in from sun-soaked Florida as they prepare for a sprint triathlon.

What Would Buddha Do?

Join me for a 9 mile run on a deserted Texas highway as I get dehydrated, sick, then talk about stuff I really don't know anything about. Bloopers at end.

Hope all this entertains you as you get some killer workouts in. Out!

Triscoop Review and Killer Junebugs

I've got two podcasts for you. The first is a Triscoop Review where Herr Professor and I sit down and chat about what's new on www.triscoop.com. We introduce the new Race Database! Check it out and submit and check out races all over the world.

A few days later, I went out on a brick workout. You can listen to it by clicking here. I recorded the entirity of the bike ride and a few minutes after the barefoot run. I was attacked at the end by a rabid junebug the size of 16 pregnant watermelons, so don't miss it. I play several voicemails, talk about how to ride in a group, and babble on and on about HR, all while riding on country roads.

GET ON YOUR BIKE AND RIDE!

Hey, Yos! I recorded myself while going for a night ride, blabbing about all things Triathlon. Turned out pretty sweet! Check it out here. Song is "Bike Ride" by ScanLan from the Podshow Music network.

Bluebonnet Express Part 2

Wuzzup, wizzles? The second part of the Bluebonnet is a killer 90 minutes long (Click here to listen) and this is the part with the bike wreck and surfing audio. Don't miss out on the part where Emily calls me "anal" and then starts mocking my voice.

I'm putting together the audio from doing the Simply Stu triathlon and recalling today's bike ride - 18.43 miles in exactly one hour in rolling hills, high wind, ON THE KUWAHARA! Gregg was snickering at me when we were saddling up, but I didn't here any more snickering after we got rollin'. TRACK BIKES ARE FAST!!!

Looking for a group to start training with and a real reason to get your tri on? Check out Coach Adam's Teamforkids.org.

Bluebonnet Express Part 1

I recorded so much audio for my latest show, I'm going to have to break it up into two parts. Part 1 (Click here to listen) contains clips from me trying to ride my fixed gear bike for the first time, Emily and I prepping you for the Bluebonnet, and then some audio from the ride itself.

The Bluebonnet Express is a local fundraiser ride which draws about 1600 folks of all cycling abilities. Riders have an option of 25, 46, or 62 miles. We had sustained 22 mph winds that day and I rode a single-speed (48x18) for the 46 mile trip. Next week's show will contain a wreck from the ride and a "ride review" from Emily and myself. ENJOY!
