Texas By Five

Tonight Texas faces Ohio State in the Fiesta bowl. I’m staking my claim before kickoff, Texas will win by five points. Hook’Em Horns!

Dirty Duathlon

For the past few months I have felt the need to take up regular exercise again. I can feel myself slipping. The amount of energy that I have to take on the day is slipping, and that’s just not very cool. I think the pinched nerve in my neck could be indicative of my lack [...]

Correction, Spurs By 11

They did it. The Hornets came out strong. In fact, they held the lead until the third quarter. Once the Spurs took the lead the Hornets never recovered, it looked like they ran out of steam. We looked like a playoff team, everyone on the floor was contributing. We had five players earning double digit [...]

Spurs By 4

Tonight is game 3 between the Spurs and Hornets. In the last series with the Suns we began with a hard won overtime victory, and that set the tone for the series. In round two, the first two games have been in New Orleans, and while we’ve had some strong performances (Bowen’s run of three-pointers [...]

My Girlfriend Is An Ironman

My girlfriend completed her first Ironman triathlon today. She has been training for Ironman Arizona the past 7 months, and it was a success. She completed the course (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run) in 12 hours and 30 minutes, without incident or injury. I’m bummed that I wasn’t there with [...]

Bittersweet Sixteen

I posted a bracket this year. My buddy Scott sent me an invite to join his group, so I logged in and selected some teams. It’ll be a miracle if I win anything. I’m in 2nd place right now, but I’m telling you that’s blind luck.
I was in a hurry as I filled mine out, [...]

Tri Harder

Okay, so I’m signed up for a triathlon at the end of the summer. I’m a couple of weeks into my training, and I haven’t gotten very far.
Swim: man is this hard. I can’t breathe, which makes endurance really difficult. When I rotate to breathe, one of two things happens. Either I don’t rotate properly, [...]

Relaxing

I’m a week into my break between semesters, and so far its been great. I did go skiing on Friday afternoon. It was my second time so far this season, and for some unexplained reason, I’m doing better on a slalom ski than I ever have before. I don’t understand it, but I sure am [...]

Turn

As indicated in my previous note, yesterday wasn’t a very productive day for me. I went home and tried to fucus on Solids, but it wasn’t happening, my head wasn’t in it. Choosing some form of productivity, I cleaned my room, did some laundry then went to bed early. I woke up at 4:30 this [...]

Swim-Bike-Run

Oh, and I don’t think I’ve mentioned that I’ve signed up for my first triathlon. I’ve entered Tri the Rock, which is in Rockwall (TX) in the last weekend of August. And, my buddy BK is going to train & complete the tri with me.
So, between now and August BK & I will be training [...]
