- Racebelts, anyone?
The race belt—although seemingly insignificant compared to one’s training, shoes, bike, attire, and other tri equipment—is an important accessory for a triathlete. You don’t want to be fiddling around with pins at the transition area nor do you want to feel tiny needle pokes on your tummy while you’re racing (there’s enough suffering out there [...]

There’s something about the Adidas King of the Road that makes the race a notch above the rest; it must be the presence of thousands of eager runners, the half marathon offering, great-looking singlets, a well-organized assembly, and a number of other things, but all I know is that the moment I arrived at the [...]
- Adidas King of The Road Route Map
Why couldn’t they have sent us decent race maps along with the race packet? Like many of you, I’ve been searching for the route map of Adidas King of The Road for days. For a race of this calibre, I think route maps are a given; runners shouldn’t have to go hunting for them. Thanks [...]

- Running is the Best Medicine
Running is the best medicine, at least in my world; laughter comes a close second. (Laughing during a long run—which is a habit that Annie and I practice on weekends—will probably make us live to 100.) Yesterday, after complications arose from the operation of my ill relative that brought my entire family into stress and [...]
