Dateline: Sunday, Aug 28, 2011. Scott completed the Chicago International Distance Triathlon. Pre-Race: I had a great time with my family downtown.  We walked a bit more than I’d like.  We got down to the Hilton Hotel (the Chicago Tri sponsored hotel) right before lunch.  We checked in, and then walked to Macy’s for lunch.

Talk about fitness or Do fitness

Ten days to go. Okay, it’s more like eleven, but who’s counting? I am that’s who. To go to what? My second Chicago Olympic distance triathlon, that’s what. So, where am I? I realized that blogging right now is a hobby. I like to do it. I think I am good at it, but there […]

Favorite Beginner to Intermediate Tri Training plans

I’m six weeks into my 2011 Triathlon Training plan.  Despite my early injury set-backs, my training is going great.  In fact, I’m lovin’ it! I am a book reader.  I love books.  My wife and I were at the local bookstore a while back, and I told her, “I love to be among the books.” […]

Drive, Dreams, and looking

It has been a while since I posted.  I am searching. Searching for something that I am not sure what it is.  I’m looking.  Part of me thinks, a metamorphosis must take place.  Another part of me thinks, the something I am searching may already be found, it just needs to be awaken.  I’m still […]

iPhone – EatWatch almost a reality?

This is awesome.  I’ve been wanting this for a long time. Robert Scoble did an Epic Tour of SRI International.  In one of his demos,  they take a video of the food.  Then, they auto generate how many calories were on your plate.  It is effectively an Eat Watch.  I so WANT this.  Diet and […]
