I’ve raced this Olympic Distance triathlon course at Taylorsville Lake many times in the past. It’s a familiar course and one that I actually love to race because there’s no advantage for someone that is very strong in just one of the three disciplines.

7 Rules for Eating Healthy at Work
According to the most recent US News report that I could find, 86% of American workers sit all day for their job, I assume almost all of them sit at a desk or some sort of work station. I also assume that most people have heard of the health risks associated with prolonged sitting (it’s […]

I was going to put the word “food” in the title for this post, but I quickly realized that the items I’m going to list are not actually food. They are all things that you can eat that are made in a factory or chemistry laboratory. While I’m not going to say that you should […]
