Sometimes You Gets The Bear…

And sometimes the bear gets you.
The 2008 Nautica NYC Triathlon is over, capping a ridiculously busy, and ultimately frustrating weekend for me. Sadly, it didn’t go even remotely the way I wanted it to, resulting in my not participating in the Tri at all, but picking my bike up and walking it home at 5am […]

Lessons from a mile of hell
