It’s located on the tip of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, where Marineland once stood (and where they filmed the TV series Sea Hunt). It’s an absolutely beautiful [...]

Since Chuck wrote up the sprint triathlon we completed on Saturday, I’ll talk about the Firecracker 10K that we ran yesterday. It was a fabulous day – amazing after the deluge of the day before. Days like yesterday make it clear why people want to live in So Cal: the air was crystal clear, the [...] OK, let me start at the beginning.

Our friends Valeria and Maureen [...] Now that the Las Vegas Triathlon is out of the way, we’ve fixed our focus on the next two races: a half marathon next weekend in Healdsburg, and a 50 mile bike ride in Solvang in November. So yesterday we ran 9 1/2 miles and today we hammered out a 40 mile bike ride. Then [...] In my case, it included swimming 1.5K, biking 40K, then running a 10K at the Las Vegas Triathlon.
