I am a swimmer at heart, but I find it difficult to meet people with goggles and a swim cap on and my face in the water, so I took up running (or limping at a fast clip) and cycling. I have raised money in support of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Colon Cancer Alliance, and others through triathlon, marathon, and cycling. I keep swimming pure and only swim for the fun of it. Best moment in life to date - swimming from Alcatraz without a wetsuit in 55 degree water. What made it so great? My mom was waiting for me on the shore. She has always been my biggest fan.

    No More Dropping Things on the Trails
    Twice now I've lost inhalers while on the bike. Somehow, I can manage to keep a couple bananas or a few packages of shot bloks, even a bagel on occassion, in the pockets on the back of my cycling jers...

    Rescue Inhalers
    A while back my doctor asked me how often I used my rescue inhaler. "Not often." "But aren't you wheezing a lot during triathlons?" "Yes, but I like to wait until I REALLY need it." Wow. You...
