Do It Yourself

If you want something done right...


I have learned many skills through necessity but I've discovered that in some cases, my time is more important to me and I'd rather pay someone than learn a new skill.


When hiring someone, I go in prior to my desired start, lay out my requirement and schedule a start date.  I find that setting up an appointment and laying out my need allows the project to get done quickly and correctly.

The Trip to Kona

It's been a few weeks since Coeur d'Alene and I've managed to get my travel arrangements nailed down which include a house on the beach with an ocean view.  It's my first trip to Kona, my birthday, and it's also our family vacation... I wanted to do it right. :)


The house we rented has a kitchen which means I'm finally traveling to a race where I won't feel the need to detox from all of the dining out.

The Past

I know I keep saying this but I really like my current mental state for racing.  Gordo calls it my "athletic sweet spot" which is where I ended up after digging myself out of a giant hole.

For those of you just catching up, the short version is that I ran around last year thinking I was definitely going to Kona via Lake Placid right up until the point of detonation at mile 13 on the run course.

A friend wrote me and asked if I was going to write up an "almost Sub10 Ironman" post to go along with my Sub11 Ironman Download.

Hold that thought.


In 2008, I was the last person to cross the finish line in under 11 hours at Ironman Coeur d'Alene.  The voice of Ironman, Mike Reilly, got the crowd going as I approached the finish.  The crowd could hardly contain themselves because I had only a few seconds to spare as I crossed the finish line.  The sound of their cheers was deafening, it was an incredible rush and one of the best finishes I've had so far.

As the race draws near, I've noticed a repeated pattern of "going dark" which basically means that my blogging slows, my thoughts become private and I sort-of get writers block.

There are a ton of thoughts in my head and the beginnings of numerous blog entries but when I sit to compile them for publication, I lose my thoughts and the entry goes into the drafts folder to never see the light of day.
