Fortunately we live in an area with four seasons. Unfortunately, there’s so much variability in weather here that you need inside options. Some mornings it rains, some afternoons the humidity is so high you can hardly breathe, sometimes a cold wind blows nonstop for weeks at a time without giving any snow. Our winters are …

I love my Kinetic bike trainer, but the accompanying app is not very good. It does have a multitude of workouts on it, but requires a subscription to unlock the majority of its features. However, given that it does a terrible job of linking up to my Apple Smart Watch I don’t see the point …

My original intent centered on writing a post detailing my training progress sixty days out from the Grant County Triathlon, but instead it will detail my disappointment in its cancellation. I am not surprised that they made the decision to cancel, I believe they set a deadline and if they didn’t have a definitive yes …

I now have seventy five days left before the 2020 Grant County Triathlon. My third trip and things are looking grim regarding whether this race even happens. As of this writing, registration for the event is paused. On one hand, that’s “paused”, not “cancelled”, but curious if it will go off. The larger races, including …

Another year has passed and we’re getting into triathlon training season. This year I will be starting two months earlier. Traditionally I have not gone full blast until April, but now I’m looking at February. Several reasons why. First off, for the first time in two months my feet feel great. A combination of stretching, …

I’m experimenting with some milk alternatives in an effort to trim pounds before this year’s triathlon. If you have kids in the house you’ve probably dropped the 2% milk for Whole Milk, and if you’re a milk drinker like I am, you’re probably taking in more calories than needed. You’re also, if like me, finding …

In an effort to continue training for triathlons, we decided to add a bike trainer to our exercise equipment collection. We did have a spinning bike that I bought on Craigslist a few years ago but it bit the dust and I trashed it. Nonetheless, we needed something at home to use when it’s raining …
