Trifatlete | Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead

Hawaii Ironman Triathlon 2011 World Championships


The, Hawaii Ironman 2011 World Championship triathlon race in Kona, Hawaii, brought about some of the toughest and strongest mentally focused athletes in the world to race over 140 miles distance in some some of the most outrageous terrain imaginable. We wanted to produce this short video clip to inspire people, period. The discipline and determination, mental focus, physical fitness and positive mental attitude that it takes to compete in a race like this, brings out many of the top qualities that human beings are capable of. And to us, that is worth sharing with the world. This year we wanted to focus on the biomechanics of the professionals in this race, and the “story” of the race. It was a great year, the men’s world record was broken by Craig Alexander and Chrissie Wellington finished 20 minutes behind the first leader, after the bike, and still managed to run down all of her competition to come in first. Not all of us are cut out to be world class triathletes, but we sure can admire all of the qualities that it takes to get there. After watching this race, you will want to get your running shoes on, and we suggest that you do, after all your health is your wealth.

It’s Monster Time

It has been almost 5 weeks since my last monster. Just seemed like a good day to have me some delicious morning pick me up.

What – 2 days in a row

Ran 3.1 (5k) in 30:20 and felt pretty darn good. It was another cold day but I felt overall I did really well. Not running in a long time and then running 2 days in a row even impressed me.

I felt my legs were going to be extremely tired and they were but after going a half a mile or so they did seem to warm up. My knees really hurt but I’m sure it is the extra weight I’ve been carrying. Left over winter weight from last year. DOH.

I ran a good solid 2 miles in 19:00 and then took it easy the last mile. Felt good and will attempt to run 3 days in a row.

Back in the saddle

Finally after a long layoff I got out there and ran. It is pretty funny that for the last 5 weeks we’ve had tremendously warm weather and I chose to start running again on two of the coldest days. I do tend to run better in the extremes (hot or cold).

I ran 2.5 miles in 24:42 and felt pretty good. I did have to stop for a breather but overall I’m happy with the effort.

It is a long journey back up the ladder but I think I finally found some motivation.

Let’s hope so.

Need Motivation


I need to get out the door and running. This weekend I will plan on running 8-10 miles and biking 10-16 miles. Now that is a goal.
