70.3 or Bust: Dominating The Miami Rhoto Half-Ironman

November 4, 2011 By Joel Runyon 26 Comments

Greetings from Milwaukee. Things have been a little chaotic around here. In the last 10 days, I've had terribly unreliable internet connections while moving out of my old house, flying to miami, and flying back to the midwest. Somewhere in between all that, I ran a half-ironman. A HALF-IRONMAN! I'm shocked too. So, apologies for the delay on this, but I've been a little busy. Either way, I"ll shut up with the excuses - on to the story! (Warning: It's a ...

Last Minute Impossible Plans

July 30, 2010 By Joel Runyon 26 Comments

It seems I couldn’t get enough of my first triathlon experience so yesterday I signed up for another one…this weekend. I’ll be running obliterating [my new word for finishing triathlons - thanks twitter-verse] the Indy Tri this Sunday downtown. It’s an official USAT event and it's listed as a Sprint triathlon. The distances? All over the place again – 500m swim 11.5 miles 3.1 mile run I’ve got to admit, I’m terribly confused on what qualifies as a ...

Who’s Got 2 Thumbs And Just Did A Triathlon? – Valpo Tri 2010

July 19, 2010 By Joel Runyon 32 Comments

This guy. After 400m swimming, 12.4 miles biking and 3.2 miles running, I'm alive and I'm proud to say I finished! I'm pumped that I did it, but not so pumped about my time. My goal for the race, was 1 hour 15 minutes. I actually thought that that was a realistic time for what I wanted to do. In reality? I wasn't even CLOSE. As it turns out I made quite a few miscalculations...let me explain... The Race The 20-29 male age division was the first wave to ...

It’s Official [Sort Of]

May 21, 2010 By Joel Runyon 3 Comments

It's official.  I'm a triathlete. At least according the the USAT (USA Triathlon).  I have the card to prove it. I paid the $39 and went ahead and did it. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly what membership gets me other than a card I get mailed to me that proves I'm a member and I don't have to pay a $10 one-day membership fee at every triathlon I sign up for. Essentially this means I have to do at least 4 triathlons this year, because I'll be danged if I ...
