From the 2010 Playa Del Run Aquathon at Zuma Beach in Malibu, CA on September 19th, 2010. I wish I had something more profound to add, but I just don't. Except maybe that the 5km time includes a transition!

The gang at First Off The Bike, one of my favorite things to be in triathlon and also a great triathlon website, were kind enough to let me bend their ears for a bit a week or so ago. They asked some great questions and were kind enough to let me ramble on about racing … Continue reading First Off The Bike

I did a little Q&A with the gang at True-Motion a few days ago. Per the usual, they asked serious questions mixed with a few more lighthearted ones. Some chats about recovery, my wonderful hometown of Penticton, and thoughts on life after sport. Click to read A few words with Rappstar.
