- About Me:
- I enjoy outdoors exercising and training for triathlons, I swim about 8000 yards a week, run about 10-12 miles and bike 100 miles average every week. I also practice yoga regularly. I love open water swims and touring on the bike either single or tandem. I stopped using my car for daily transportation a couple of years ago, it is a great feeling to be fitter than ever in my late 40s and to be able to use cycling as an alternative mode of transportation.

Other challenge of planning 4 miles swim, 9 miles run and 49 miles ride in Tucson in May is that it could be very hot so the hours available to do the run and ride become limited too.
I will post a longer explanation about how my day went with pictures to illustrate the different venues I used.
It is a great feeling to be done, it was a hard day and long day… Continue

4 days for the challenge
My birthday is on Thursday and for the B-fit bday to be a true challenge I have to do it in 24 hours, since every week I do more than my triathlon distances with my regularly schedule workouts and using my bike as mode of transportation. The other challenge is that I work on Thursday, so I am arranging my events around work hours. Fortunately I have some flexibility and could start at 9 and leave a little earlier around 3:30. So the schedule is to wake up really early (4 AM) and run to a public… Continue
