Es Tri's: How this craziness began...
http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-this-craziness-began.html
Sunday, October 5, 2008. How this craziness began. Become addicted to triathlons and there is no 12-step program. As a result, I decided to join a team of other triathlon addicted folks so I could share the sweet, sweet misery. I ran into Team Z at a race in 2007 and noticed they were eating cheeseburgers and drinking beer near the finish line. Say no more – I knew this team was for me. Sprint: 750 meter swim, 15 mile bike, 3.1 mile run – give or take. In 2010. Then I met Jason…. Jason is a teammate who ...

Es Tri's: Freezin’ For A Reason – Polar Plunge “Race" Report
http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2010/02/freezin-for-reason-polar-plunge-race.html
Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Freezin’ For A Reason – Polar Plunge “Race" Report. This past Saturday was the Freezin’ For A Reason Polar Plunge. To raise money for Camp Sunshine. I also prepared my “race” outfit that consisted of sparkly tights, a skirt, bathing suit top, a cape, red mask, red swim cap, and some gloves. That’s right, I was going to plunge as a Superhero…an IRONWOMAN to be exact (cape said FEXX – FE=Iron, XX=Female). IT WAS F-ING COLD. SERIOUSLY F-ING COLD. Unofficially - I won. I mea...

MAKE IT HAPPEN: November 2014
http://damieroberts.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 20, 2014. Last weekend was awesome-. First, I was such a lucky duck and pulled a volunteer spot out of the lottery for The Elephant Sanctuary. This is the sanctuary that featured Bella the dog and Tarra the elephant as BFF. If you haven't seen the video, it is a MUST watch. Check it out here. So, this is a true sanctuary and is NEVER open to the public. However, there is a lottery for a few volunteer days a year, and I got a spot out of 100s of applicants! I was exhausted after a day o...

Wouldn't it be cool...: The Third Lap - Lost Valley Luau 2015 Race Report
http://sunnygilbert.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-third-lap-lost-valley-luau-2015.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. The Third Lap - Lost Valley Luau 2015 Race Report. All was smooth riding until the third lap. The mud didn't do much to slow down the single-track besides make some of the technical, flat rock sections unrideable (sometimes running is faster than picking lines anyway). I had only had one inconsequential bobble on a tight corner, and a strong move on the long double-track hill had deposited me in 1st place (out of two! Among Cat 1 Woman just after lap one. No flying mount this time&#...

Wouldn't it be cool...: July 2015
http://sunnygilbert.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Race Report: 2015 Fatty Fest, Eureka Springs, AK. At the starting line, minutes before the start of the X-country race at the Eureka Springs Fat Tire Festival. One of the women next to me leans over and asks, "Are you ready for this uphill? I smiled, the corners of my eyes crinkling as I adjusted the straps on my camel back, and exhaled, "yes.". Breaks squealed, and I came to stop. I questioned him, "no other riders have come by? A quarter mile down that trail, I realized I was sa...

Wouldn't it be cool...: Sunny Gilbert's on-the-podium-finishing Giant TCX bike, both of them.
http://sunnygilbert.blogspot.com/2015/03/sunny-gilberts-on-podium-finishing.html
Monday, March 9, 2015. Sunny Gilbert's on-the-podium-finishing Giant TCX bike, both of them. I've been wanting to do this review of my trusty two-wheeled Giant TCX Advanced cyclocross. Handling like they were on rails around tight turns, and boasting a lower-center of gravity than any other CX bike I have ridden, I couldn't help but be fast on these bike. And now that I have time on my hands (not really), I thought I would do them some justice. Another similarity between the set-up I ran in my break out ...

Friday, October 4, 2013. Race Report: Berryman Adventure Race. Fraternizing with the "enemy" pre-race. In the warm predawn of Saturday morning, somewhere in the Mark Twain National Forest just East of Fort Leonard Wood and the Big Piney River in South-Central Missouri, a group of 150-odd adventure racers with head lamps on, stood looking every which way under the inflatable arch of Bonk Hard Racing, LLC, awaiting the start of the 2013 Berryman Adventure 12-hour, a real ass-kicker. The single track was ro...

Es Tri's: Thursday 13 - Why Ironman Arizona is better than Ironman Cozumel
http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2010/11/thursday-13-why-ironman-arizona-is.html
Thursday, November 18, 2010. Thursday 13 - Why Ironman Arizona is better than Ironman Cozumel. The team race next year is (stupid) Cozumel. There are a rogue number of us doing Arizona and there is an on-going battle on why people should do one race over another. Here’s my 13 in support of Arizona. 1 Arizona is wetsuit legal – salt water does not have near the buoyancy to make up for no wetsuit! And drinking salt water = bad. Cozumel – hot, humid, sticky! 3 Desert climate so NO bugs in Arizona! I just do...
