Morgan and I swam across to the far beach and back.ZenTri went to the West Coast to visit coaching client Morgan and tear up the triathlon mecca of San Diego.  We had a blast swimming in the Pacific, mountain biking, and running around the famous Fiesta Island.

Anton Krupika Spotted in the Wild

Ultrarunning's own favorite half-shaved cheetah just popped up as the leading image for the Greenland 50k.  Ok, so maybe it's an old image, and maybe he's still not posting much on his blog, but we'll take what we can get.

The best part is that it's classic Krupika.  Look at the horror in the face of the guy behind him.  He's thinking, "It's 20 degrees out here and I just got passed by some hippie wearing a t-shirt about baked buns.  FTW?"

ANYTHING about Anton is good stuff.  The best is when he posts things like, "I was on mile 70 of my morning jog and felt a little tired, so I ate some wild berries."  Let's hope he keeps appearing online!

Thanks to Speedgoat on the Twitters for the heads up!
