The life of a cat-loving triathlete
Most of you know that I have an obsession with Trader Joe’s. It started last year, but has grown exponentially due the easy access of like ONE HUNDRED TRADER JOE’S WITHIN A 20 MILE RADIUS. Actually, I don’t know if that’s true but there are a lot of them out here in LA compared to… Continue reading Trader Joe’s Food Review
With all my races getting cancelled, slowly but surely, I kind of lost motivation to do anything since March. I ran the Los Angeles marathon (which you can read about here) but literally like 3 days later that, LA shutdown. All the gyms and pools were closed, plus it actually rained a lot here in… Continue reading Los Angeles Cycling
I know I need to get better about writing on here more consistently! For awhile there really wasn’t much to write about since we were all stuck inside our homes in a cocoon of self-loathing and depression. But now the world is starting to slowly reopen and my cocoon is beginning to hatch into a… Continue reading Strawberry Peak Trail
Three days ago I ran the Los Angeles Marathon. This was my third standalone marathon and fourth marathon overall. My other marathons have included the Flying Pig twice and the run in Ironman Louisville. Back in November I ran the Malibu half marathon in a 1:43.02 which was a 9 minute drop from my previous… Continue reading Los Angeles Marathon Race Report
WOW. Another blog post!? So soon!? What can I say, the creative juices are flowing. If you're like me, then you might continuously struggle with what to wear cycling at a specific temperature. HOWEVER, I think I've finally mastered the art of dressing appropriately! The most important lesson I have learned about cycling clothing (and… Continue reading What to wear cycling!
Oh boy there are A LOT of races out here in California that I want to do in 2020. And guess who doesn’t have a lot of money!? THIS GUY! Here is my dream race calendar (subject to change and all tentative of course) March 8: LA Marathon. Why do I want to do this… Continue reading 2020 Race Report
One Sunday I did my seventh half Ironman! It was Superfrog 70.3 in San Diego. The reason I ended up doing this race is because originally I had registered for Ironman Wisconsin (full Ironman) before I knew I would be moving to LA. Wisconsin took place the weekend before this past weekend, which was only… Continue reading Superfrog 70.3 Race Report
I did Steelhead 70.3 yesterday which is my second time doing this particular race. I didn’t have very high expectations since I just did an Olympic last Sunday and wasn’t really following any sort of training plan. On Saturday, Jordan and I made our way up to Benton Harbor, MI for packet pickup. Benton Harbor… Continue reading 2019 Steelhead 70.3 Race Report
In honor of National Bike to Work Week and Bike Month AND Bike to Work Day (today), I have decided to write a post about biking to work! I started biking to work a little over a month ago and it’s been quite lovely. I don’t bike every single day of the week, but usually… Continue reading Biking to Work
On Sunday I ran my second standalone full marathon and third if you’re counting the Ironman. It went quite well if I do say so myself. I woke up at 3:45am on Sunday which was fine because at 2:30am these two drunk dudes were getting into a fight in my apartment parking lot and I… Continue reading Flying Pig Marathon Race Report
