Sunday’s harrowing 37 mile bike ride (read about it here) marked the completion of my five week Tour De Cure phase. This phase followed the completion of my first major milestone, my first triathlon. I had several goals and objectives I wanted to achieve in this phase and a few I added as I went […]
Last year I had determined that I not only wanted to do a season of triathlons, but I wanted to give back in some way as well. For me this lead to me raising money and signing up to ride in the Atlanta Tour De Cure event to raise money for the American Diabetes Association […]
After four solid weeks of training including some high mileage riding weeks I decided this week I needed to rest a little extra as I was feeling beat. I wanted to be as fresh as possible for the Atlanta Tour De Cure event and I really needed some extended rest as I had pushed myself […]
The Tour De Cure is finally here and I am super excited. I am really close to reaching my modified 750$ goal! If you have been on the fence about donating, then the time is now. Help me fight diabetes and donate to my fund raising efforts for the American Diabetes Association via the Tour […]

The weather forecast called for a 27% chance of rain and the meteorologist believed it was unlikely. I was set to get some miles in regardless of rain, but looking out of my downtown office window, with the sun coming out from behind week long storm clouds, I believed the rain was over. As I got […]
Another week in the books and two weeks closer to the Tour De Cure charity event to raise money to fight Diabetes (Donate Here, two weeks left!). I am eager to participate in this event and to be able to give back in some way. My original intention was to ride a 100 miles in […]
