Never give up, never surrender". Monday, November 26, 2012. Triathlon Off-Season Tips and Tricks. 1) What's the plan, Stan? Before you suit up and head out the door for your first workout of the season, you need to know what you're doing and why you're doing it. Every workout needs an articulable purpose and should move you toward peak fitness on race day. The key to being in your best shape when you need it is to have a plan. 2) Get your swoll on. 3) You are what you eat. 4) Slow is PRO. It's also time ...

Perpetual Motion: October 2011
http://zippyathlete.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Never give up, never surrender". Monday, October 24, 2011. I know: I'm averaging about one 'blog update a month. I'm sure that both of you who read my 'blog are crushed. I'm sorry. People always stop me and remark about what a great job I have. It's way better than sitting in a cubicle all day, but long hours sitting in a truck and dealing with the "bad" part of the population keep it from feeling like a permanent vacation. Nice views out my office window, though. It's getting on into Winter, which means...

Perpetual Motion: May 2011
http://zippyathlete.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Never give up, never surrender". Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Climb Mt. Whitney: check. Let's back up a bit. The third week of May marked the end of my sentence, err training, in Monterey. We did the whole graduation thing, the Parks Director pinned a shiny star on my jacket, I packed up and got the hell out. Holly and I rolled in to San Diego at about 11PM that night and collapsed on the bed. Done. We weighed our packs on the hanging scale at the trail head just for giggles: me 53 lbs, Dan 55 lbs. Yikes!

Perpetual Motion: August 2012
http://zippyathlete.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Never give up, never surrender". Monday, August 6, 2012. Xterra Snow Valley Race Report. Apologies for not posting as much as I used to. Between work, a wedding, training and more, I have very little time for much else. Oh yeah; I got married! Holly and I tied the knot in June at Crystal Cove. Perfect weather, all our friends, delicious food and plenty of libations. Stoked to be married to such a wonderful woman. I warmed up, chatted with Trevor a bit, set up T2 and headed up the mountain to the lake....

Perpetual Motion: 2013 Season Summary (Part II)
http://zippyathlete.blogspot.com/2013/10/2013-season-summary-part-ii.html
Never give up, never surrender". Tuesday, October 15, 2013. 2013 Season Summary (Part II). Last post, I left off after a disappointing finish at Xterra West, but with time to fix some weaknesses before heading into 70.3 St George. I've only done one other 70.3, Oceanside, back in 2005. I was sure that the years of training since then would add up to a strong race. After hearing the horror stories of how steep the bike course was, Holly and I decided to drive the course. I was glad we did, it's steep!

Perpetual Motion: April 2011
http://zippyathlete.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Never give up, never surrender". Sunday, April 24, 2011. I'm putting together a presentation for work and I needed some plant/nature photos. I put out the call for help to the online community last week, but using my own shots feels better than getting them off the web. The photographers that I've been working with have been more than generous with their time and property rights. Thanks to everyone that's been helping me out. Lucky for me, the recent rain meant tacky trails (woot! Overcast, windy and rai...

Perpetual Motion: 2013 Season Summary Part III
http://zippyathlete.blogspot.com/2013/11/2013-season-summary-part-iii.html
Never give up, never surrender". Tuesday, November 5, 2013. 2013 Season Summary Part III. Last post finished off with a couple downer races in a row. Lackluster finishes at Xterra West Championships and 70.3 St. George left me questioning my fitness and preparation. I took a bit of a mid-season break and re-focused, determined to finish out the season strong. Hit the run just trying to run steady the whole way and be smart, not go too hard too early and crack. I suffered a lot on the run here. My ham...
