My training plan called for a 10k and the Magnusion Series which I did before (last time the 5k) conveniently fell on the same date. My previous PR for this distance is from Jan 29th 2012 where I covered the 10k in 38:11. (read more). I knew the course and that it wasn’t the fastest, […]

[Guest post: Amy] HITS – National Championship (Palm Spring, CA)
It’s hard to know what to write about the race, because there were so many things that happened, and yet some things were all the same. For the swim, I started near the start of the women’s group, but it was a pretty small group of us so it didn’t matter too much. I didn’t […]
HITS – National Championship (Palm Spring, CA)
Amy wanted to do her first Olympic distance race this year so we settled on the HITS series which I haven’t done before. Coincidence has it that it happened to be national championship (in Palm Spring CA). Honestly though since they don’t offer any price money I didn’t expect a lot of professional athletes to […]
5K – Woodland Zoo Pumpkin Dash
After the Ironman in Wisconsin I took two weeks, followed by a transition week and now I just finished the first block of training. In these couple weeks I gained about 3.5kg which I attribute to the awesome food I ate (read: fast food, there is a reason I came to this country after all […]
Ironman Wisconsin 2012
Sorry for the long post, but there are so many things I wanted to mention. Besides I figured that people who read my blog are reading it to know what is going on in my head and what I experienced. If you are just interested in the result jump to the bottom and use the […]
Whidbey Island Triathlon 2012
Note: I’ll add links to the official website and adjust the splits once I get the official times. (starting the watches by hand was a little off) My season plan called for a Olympic distance race as preparation for my Ironman. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find on so I picked the longest sprint triathlon I could […]
Ironman CDA 2012
It is already 3 weeks since I did my second Ironman. Since the race I was busy recovering and having fun in Switzerland. Now I am back in Seattle and settling into a normal rhythm again while preparing for my next Ironman. So it is about time that I publish this race report. After the […]
Issaquah Triathlon 2012
This weekend I did my first sprint triathlon. Initially I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do this race since it was only 3 weeks before my Ironman, but my coach convinced me that it would be a good thing to get some speed work in before the Ironman. Since Amy was visiting that weekend […]
Pittsburgh Halfmarathon 2012
I entered this race with high expectations. After my PR on this course last year, I was expecting to set another PR. I even was hoping to go sub 1:20. According to my coach I was in shape to get a high 1:20 or low 1:21 finish time. His pacing strategy for me was to […]

Previous race report (5K Magnuson Series) and (10K Fit for Vitality) The third race I did this year, was a half marathon organized by the Greater Bellinham Running Club […]
