What if there was a Colorado Springs Off Road Duathlon Series?

Just thinking out loud here, but why don't we have something like this?In my limited understanding of local events, one of the reasons there isn't more events is the cost involved. Specifically, the…Continue

In the blur of it all and everyone yelling my name at the top of the hill I thought I saw you with a camera. Thanks for capturing this moment. It was really pretty tough and single speed cross I think is a lot harder than expected. I'd…

So I hooked up with the Acacia Park ride this past Sunday

I was a bit nervous about going to this ride for a few reasons. Were people going to look at me like I didn't belong there? Where people going to look at my older bike and think "who's the old school dude on the old bike"? But most of all I was a bit nervous because I wasn't sure if I could keep up.

I got there right at 10:00am and no one was there. I started to think, maybe I already missed them. I hung out for a few minutes and people started to show up. After about 10 min or so,…

2010 Harvest Moon Long Distance Triathlon: Race Report

So I participated in the Harvest Moon Triathlon this past weekend. It was a good event. I am by far, not a seasoned triathlete but I did apply some lessons that I've learned in the past, some new information that I've recently acquired and I learned some new things about how I would approach a long course triathlon in the future.

Here are the distances: Swim = 1.2 miles. Bike = 56 miles. Run = 13.1 miles.

First, my times.

The… Continue

A great workout on Saturday.

The Plan:

1. Get up early, go to the Manitou Pool and swim 1 mile.

2. After the swim, ride my bike up the pass to Divide and back down.

3. Run 6 miles in Garden of the Gods.

The SWIM

Everything started out great. I made it to the Manitou pool just before they opened, quickly got changed and was in the pool by about 7:05am. I swam 1 mile (1,600 yards). I would swim 75 yards freestyle and then… Continue

Trying to get my training back on track.

Somewhere along the line, this summer I got off track. Maybe it was the mid summer cold I had or maybe it was the emergency trip to Alabama to visit my father-in-law who was having medical problems. Not sure when but my training went South and so did my motivation.

I've been trying to get back on track lately and I'm off to a pretty good start this week.

Monday: Early morning interval ride on the trainer. Later that evening I went for a 4 mile run with my daughter. She's… Continue

Gal with dark hair, pink shirt and huge smile. I'm the Pikes Peak Road Runners newsletter editor, and I would like to put it on the cover of the next issue. Of course, I need it ASAP--the photographer who took the photo of the same gal from OutThereCO still hasn't gotten back to me from this morning and we need to put this together. I couldn't find any other way to get to you from the photo, so I hope this works.--Lori

I'm from Doylestown, so it's pretty close to where you grew up. I had a couple of friends that went to Kutztown back in the day, but it's been a long time. Thanks for the welcome! I kinda dove into this move completely blind and I think I lucked out pretty good.

As I just wrote to Tim, I can not tell you enough about how impressed I am with this site. I just wish I would have become a member earlier on. Great job!
