Okay, I'm just going to take this one on head-first. This morning, I did a swim followed by a 3.5-mile run on a treadmill. As ALWAYS, about half way through my run I had the pee-pee feeling come on. Instead of jumping off the mill and heading to the men's room as I always do, I toughed it out ..read more

It appears so! Evidently, baking soda provides a substantial boost in performance. And we're not talking about very minimal gains that will help that elite-level athlete finish the entire 70.3 course 4.65 seconds faster.

The distances are somewhere in between an Oly and a 70.3. Swim is 1 mile, ride is 36 and finishes with a 10 ..read more

Hi all....allow me to explain. During the wee morning hours one evening during the past Easter break, I jumped out of bed in my undies, ran downstairs, out my back door, across the yard, and hopped over my eight-foot stone wall to give chase to the little s**ts who parked their golf cart and ..read more

Runoff from recent heavy rains have caused the water conditions in the river to be unsafe for humans. I don’t get it. They actually built artificial facilities for events normally done in open water…kayaking, canoeing, and rowing. But for event that competitors have to actually get in the water ..read more

Greetings. I just signed up three kids (ages 6, 8, and 11), for a kid's triathalon on August 11th at a YMCA in Bucks county, Pennsylvania. This will be their first experience in this discipline. It is mostly for fun and everybody gets a medal and all that, but it is also a USA Triathalon ..read more
