079 Front Runner’s Pride Run 5M – 30:55

Posted on June 27, 2012 by beyonddefeat

The Front Runners New York Gay and Lesbian Pride Run (woo that’s one hell of a long title) is part of New York’s Pride Week. It’s a blast. People tend to not take the race so seriously and come out to support Gay Pride, dress up, and act crazy in general. I started my morning

Back to Bricks

Posted on June 19, 2012 by beyonddefeat

If you asked Coach, I don’t think she would agree that me surfing out at Rockaway Beach was on the training program. I did bike after that, so I think she was appeased, especially since she had me queued up for a serious brick on Sunday. My younger brother Jeff, number 2 out of 6

I am a surfer!

Posted on June 17, 2012 by beyonddefeat

One of my life dreams is to live on a beach and surf. I would own a little taco hut, tikki bar thing and in the afternoons I bar tend. The problem is, or was, that I had never surfed. After I closed on my new apartment this spring I went to inspect it. Inside

078 Lava Love Sprint – 1:16:24

Posted on June 12, 2012 by beyonddefeat

The Lava Love Triathlon (formerly known as Lavaman) would mark my 3rd triathlon in just over a week. It is one of my favorite races and I was really looking forward to it, especially since the weather looked optimum, unlike last weeks Rev 3 flooding! How do you prepare for a Sprint Triathlon? A 3-legged

077 Great South Bay Triathlon – 1:11:28

Posted on June 6, 2012 by beyonddefeat

…continued from Rev3 Quassy Olympic Triathlon. Somewhere deep in what is known as Connecticut, we find our protagonists speeding along a dark and stormy highway in a white Mercedes Benz drinking coffee. Little did they knew what lay in store for them just 30 miles ahead… Sunshine. Lots and lots of sunshine. It was as

076 Rev3 Quassy OLY – 2:59:37

Posted on June 6, 2012 by beyonddefeat

Somehow, I was talked into doing 2 triathlons in one weekend. On Friday I left work early to meet Jim for our drive up to Quassy, Connecticut. Yes, we hit loads of stupid Friday rush hour traffic. How people do that everyday I do not know. What I do know is that if I participated

075 AHA Wall Street Run 3M – 18:21

Posted on June 1, 2012 by beyonddefeat

The Wall Street 3 Miler is not a ‘runner’s race.’ This is not the race to PR. You will be elbowed, crowded, tripped, and generally annoyed unless you take it as it is, a fun run. I met Ed pre-race (after saying hi to Melissa and Erica) and we headed over to the start. There
