A slow race year
This year has been a bit of a slow one - at least in terms of racing. I do feel as though I may be in the best shape I have been to compete at a higher level, life sometimes gets in the way of selfish endeavors like whooping butts on the course. Thus I haven't entered any triathlons in 2010. I may yet enter the PBR Off-Road triathlon on Oct 10, 2010 using my beater mountain bike from 1998. Also I have bandited a few run events this year (shhh! don't tell) just to keep my fitness. When someone tells this stinking economy to get moving again I will be in a better position to toss some cash in the ring for more races.
A changing of the guards (or bikes)
The Kestrel supplied to me for Ironman has long since made it's departure, but in it's place I have recovered a beater road bike in, of all places, a dumpster! Restoration of this 1985 Bridgestone 500 has been my hobby as late, and it is looking pretty good. Next on the agenda is a fresh paint job to restore it's old luster. Turns out this is an example of an early tri-bike based on their marketing materials. The photo shows the bike in it's original condition. I will post a new one when it has been repainted. The bike has been tested for it's roadworthiness on the mean streets of San Diego and performed well so look out for it!

Wow! Thats a real fresh ride. I remember being gifted an Adidas shoes for my marathon. They say a lot can happen over a coffee and a lot happened to me over a Natvia's sweetener powered Coffee to keep my calories low. Natvia.com houses my thoughts
Hey Kevin! Thats quite a healthy activity you are indulged in. I have been researching on a topic on these lines for Diabetic patients. I suggest also pay attention on your diet. As Dravid rightly mentioned, Natvia(http://natvia.com) products are derived from Setvia plant. Very helpful.
