I went through my bank statements (long story) and saw a renewal that I didn’t recognise. It was WordPress. Once upon a time I used to write stuff. Armed with the knowledge that I’ve already paid and the amusement at Aussie triathlete – Josh Amberger’s style of short, sharp and pointy race reports…. I amContinue reading “hAmberger”

Vätternrunden 2017
16:00. Borensburg. Dinner table – Casa Sandburg. The assembled crew discusses the weather in-between mouthfuls of lasagna. This is no ordinary food. It is prepared with love and care and tastes like mouthfuls of energy. Johan and his father point out that in spite of the fact that it is raining this near to theContinue reading “Vätternrunden 2017”
Iron Man Brazil 2017
“Do you know, you would publish more stuff if you just wrote it without trying to be clever or funny?” Sure. My biggest fan (and critic)! It is one of the many reasons that I love her. Here are my thoughts on IronMan Brazil 2017. Why write, or as Del pointed out pontificate to write,Continue reading “Iron Man Brazil 2017”
“Kiss me Fat Boy”
Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win. In order to explain how I raced Iron Man Nice in a personal best time I have to go back. All the way back to the last Iron Man event (3,8km/180km/42km) that I competed in, which was Canada inContinue reading ““Kiss me Fat Boy””

For Delene Mulley
Delene was a friend. She was a sister. She was a crazy chick. She got diagnosed with stage 2 ductal invasive breast cancer – similar to Del. She fought the fight. When Del called three weeks ago and told me that Delene was gone I could not believe it. Neither could she. We miss herContinue reading “For Delene Mulley”
“One more time”
“Have you ever sailed across an ocean Donald? On a sail boat surrounded by sea with no land in sight. Without even the possibility of sighting land for days to come. To stand at the helm of your destiny. I want that, one more time. I want to be in the Piazza Del Campo inContinue reading ““One more time””
IMSA 2014
Race registration at the tenth addition of IMSA was slick and the expo has doubled in size. In spite of adding 500 entries the racking procedure and pre-race formalities were all conducted professionally and with minimal drama. I decided to be a scavenger. I would take advantage of all of the sponsored food and drinkContinue reading “IMSA 2014”
