On nutrition:
I think the biggest reason my body kept going strong through the finish (well until 1/4 mile from the finish) was highly influenced by the nutrition it had received. I stayed very well hydrated throughout the week before the event. I tried to eat a lot of protein the week before the event, carbs […]

Christy and I met at the park with the intention of riding our bikes on one of the trails. It was a beautiful day and a great opportunity to get some trail riding in.
However, once we got the bikes off of their racks I remembered I needed to pump my tires. (I keep hearing from […]

I met Tommy’s co-worker and new (but good) friend “Britt” this past weekend.
