Below a blog by Jay Wild, elite international paddle board and outrigger canoe competitor, owner of Watermans Landing and o2fitness athlete. Last September I stopped using a coach for the first time in three years and while I was nervous to embark on a training program on my own I was also excited to put what […]
Neda marches on toward the Edible…. Kingsbury Grade is the Goal. I haven’t even seen the thing, but I hear it’s brutal. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t downright frightened of giant mountains these days. I drive up them, passing cyclists who look pretty miserable but I stare with envy. How can I […]

The relay went really well. We were the second female team to finish and 14th overall (out of 120 teams). We finished in 9:03, which is about 7:30 per mile average. I am very impressed by the dedication and mental toughness of our team. Very smart racers! Other teams had nicknames for some of our […]
The Folsom Sprint Triathlon proved a HUGE difference from the Tri For Real Olympic Distance race last weekend. After suffering from dehydration and low energy last weekend, I definitely learned my lesson for today. I drank copious amounts of water and “carbo” loaded (pizza and spaghetti) the last two days prior to the event. What a […]
