TriSharkie: Bring it on!
http://trisharkie.blogspot.com/2009/11/bring-it-on.html
Wednesday, November 4, 2009. I'm done worrying; it's time to have fun. I finally got my iron tests back from the doctor's office. My iron levels are just fine. My Vitamin D level is a little low and my thyroid is good. I can not explain the symptoms I've been experiencing lately but I'm over it for now. I'll figure it out some other day. I'll be flying to NC tomorrow. Packet pick up is on Friday and we're off to the races on Saturday! November 4, 2009 at 2:37 PM. Im glad to hear your iron levels are fine.

Wednesday, July 29, 2009. There's something wrong with my Garmin! Scheduled for today, was an ordinary brick workout which included a 1 hour bike ride and a 30 minute run. My garmin. Seemed to be working perfectly fine during the bike. I biked east ward and, of course, battled yet another headwind. My garmin. Seemed to be reading true. I had a good ride despite being chased by a sharpei. I made it back home, quickly changed into my running shoes and switched my garmin. To run mode. My garmin. Told me I w...

TriSharkie: June 2009

Wednesday, June 24, 2009. What the Doc Says. Now imagine having that feeling for 3 miles, or 6 miles even though your body is only moving at a slow pace. That's what I feel. I have my good days and my bad days; but apparently, race days just aggrevate the situation even more. He then change my chances of taking the medication to 80%. Well, that's my medical update for now. More to come later, hopefully I can get a handle on my adrenaline monster. Monday, June 15, 2009. Naperville Tri Sprint Results.

TriSharkie: November 2009
http://trisharkie.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 11, 2009. Beach2Battleship Iron Distance Triathlon Race Report. A year ago, I was typing my first post on my blog. Waddler and I were in Wilmington NC and had volunteered for the 2008 race. I remember how cold it was on race morning; I had on 4 layers of clothes and was shivering. I believe it was in the low 30's last year. Would it be the same this year? I also remember looking at the athletes and thinking, could I be doing this in 2009? Will I be prepared? How cool is that! Stripped...

Thursday, October 29, 2009. And a Round, and a Round, We Go! Doc: "I want to listen to your heart and lungs. (she listens) .ok, they sound fine.". As she pulls out a gown, she tells me she wants to have an EKG done. a what? She starts explaining what it is and what it involves. Me: "Yes, I know. I've had one done months ago.". Here, at the office? Doc: She looks at chart, "Yes, you did. Sorry didn't see it, the file was in the wrong spot.". Doc: "We may have to do a stress test and a echocardiogram.".

Saturday, June 12, 2010. Gordon Ferguson Yackle .10K Run for Parkinson's Disease. My first "race" of the season was last Saturday. (Note, the word "race" is quite a stretch of the imagination.) This was a .10K run benefiting research and awareness for Parkinson's disease. Let me repeat that. a POINT 10K race. That's like 1/2 a block. What? Me, my Dad, and Reg- pre-race. Reg, Dave, Ed and Me. If there is one thing I take away from this race, it is this:. You know that old cliche.life is short.so y...Tomor...
