Short and Punchy: July 2009
http://shortandpunchy.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2009. So, I finish my run tonight, and I am hot and sticky and grumpy. The cloud cover that had deceptively intimated a coolish run had, instead, supported a scirocco-like wind. I am tired of the heat. And I am irritated. There's a knock on the door. This has been happening with increasing frequency in the evening. The front lawn, which has been growing unfettered (sorry Muffin), is attracting all manner of itinerants wanting to make a few dollars. Generally, I ignore the knocks. Since ...

Short and Punchy: Long, Slow Training Day: The Duke City Marathon
http://shortandpunchy.blogspot.com/2009/10/long-slow-training-day-duke-city.html
Sunday, October 18, 2009. Long, Slow Training Day: The Duke City Marathon. Today I did my first marathon. T told me to go slow. He signed us up by telling me that this was to be a training day. No racing, just training pace. That was easy to do. For a number of reasons, I haven't slept well in days. Not only was I tired, but I woke up sore. So I groaned my way out of bed, telling myself that Time marches on and soon the day would be over. I found it funny that at 6:00 am, as one of the first people to ar...

Short and Punchy: August 2009
http://shortandpunchy.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 30, 2009. Magicians, Movies, and Mangoes. Hurricane Felicia was on it's way, downgrading all the time, and scheduled to hit O'ahu. As a tropical depression on Tuesday- so on Monday night when Mark and I went out for a movie, we had the entire theatre to ourselves. When the lights go down, the usher tells everyone to please recline their seats- it's mandatory. You can bring in food and drink. Here's Mark, getting. Comfortable- with his mangoes. Those mangoes were ' ono. Well, sort of. I thi...

Short and Punchy: Just a Thought
http://shortandpunchy.blogspot.com/2009/10/giving-credit-where-credit-is-due.html
Sunday, October 4, 2009. Some years back I owned a tiny Toyota Corolla station wagon. Cute as a button. The engine came from a Corolla sedan that had been rear ended by a truck- engine good, rear trunk bad- and I found the body from the comment of a passing stranger who said his neighbor had a shell of the same kind of car sitting in storage in his garage - body only, no engine, perfect. As an aside, and just in case your wondering, the sedan was $35, and the station wagon body cost $90. I was young and ...

Short and Punchy: September 2009
http://shortandpunchy.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 27, 2009. That's what T calls it. I'd never heard the term before, but it's when you don't bring up the rear- and you're certainly not up at the front. It sounds anonymous and generic. No recognition of the effort it takes to finish and no indication of place- just a space occupying reference, which is how I felt after finishing the race today. Pack fill. Of course, I should know better by now. I'm not, and never have been, an athlete on the sharp end. Meaning, I don't lead. Distance), ...

Saturday, August 25, 2007. F-1 Triathlon Bottomless Lakes State Park. Friday, August 24- I didn't want to go. I was rushing to get my work finished, feeling large and moving slow, grumpish, worried about the heat and being too run down, lack of training, and getting another fever blister on my lip.

CLICK HERE FOR THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES. MEMOIRS OF WEST TEXAS TRIATHLON RACING. Tuesday, September 9, 2008. String of Bad Luck at the Yucca Triathlon. Okay so I had back to back triathlon races this past weekend. So let me start off with the Yucca Triathlon which was a 10k run, 48k bike, and 400m swim. When I started the run I felt good. I haven't. Had a chance to download my GARMIN. Let me mention right now, I am riding tubulars. So not only did it suck riding on rear low tire but then I get...
