Saturday was the official 6 month birthday of the blog. *Commence Applause* Honestly it’s not really much. When this whole thing started off as a personal project 6 months ago, I can't say I expected it to turn into what it did. Wow. 70 posts later, along with 3 triathlons, several other races, lots of new readers and some good friends, I've learned a lot in the last 6 month. Here are six key lessons: 1. Writing is the most important part of a ...
[BIT] Update: July 2010

Next week. *Gulp* The word triathlon is in quotes because I'm sure all real triathletes will scoff at the notion that I'm calling what I'm doing next week a triathlon for at least 3 reasons.
