    Anniversary Tri Coming Up!

    Next weekend is the Ko'Olina Sprint Tri. This is exciting because it'll be my first repeat triathlon. This is the one that got me going and I'm very excited to see how far I've come over the last 365. I'm an unapologetic VFF enthusiast and will be doing the run course in my Bikilas, but there...

    New Zem ad

    There is a new rear-view Zem ad popping up on the side of the forum. Blue bottom of the shoes. But, umm, is the model a dude? Or a girl? Not that I care I just...you know what? Nevermind.

    Macca's Unusual Training Ideas (that I love)

    From Ironman World Champion Chris McCormack's blog on his website: "Most of the time in training, especially when I go to a new town, I often test myself by doing the following. I leave the hotel room for a run and check the clock before I leave. I then say to myself, okay, I am going to go...

    Firecracker Sprint Tri Race Report

    (TJ, should I be putting triathlon race report links in the tri forum or the race forum? Does it matter? Should we make a race report sticky in the tri forum? Am I thinking too hard about this?) Had a sprint tri last Sunday, the Firecracker. My run went very well, with a new 5k PR of 24:14...

    My First Olympic Tri...Sunday!

    I'll be doing the Honolulu Olympic Triathlon this Sunday, rocking my duct-tape repaired, blessed VFF KSOs during the run section. It's my first triathlon at this distance and I've fractured my tail over the last three and a half months to be as prepared for it as possible. I'm really looking...

    Barefoot Rule Changes?

    Sunday I had a Sprint tri (which went well, by the way. Pictures here). It was a USAT sanctioned race and part of the rules were No Barefoot Running. Stated very clearly. Big letters. I've heard this is true for international races as well. Is this just a triathlon thing? Marathons allow...

    What is "Long"?

    Minds out of the gutters. Everyone has a different definition of what their "long" runs are. I'm curious where different BFRs are at. Is it a time or distance measure? How far would you run before you categorized it in your head as a "long run" rather than just a run? For me, I'm still...

    Race on Sunday!

    Doing the LaniKai Sprint Tri this Sunday. It's my last tune-up race before my first Olympic distance in May and I'm pretty pumped. Feel like I haven't gotten a real quality ride in my last few times out on the bike for various reasons, but I should be good for the 12.2mi. Will be my first race...

    KSO vs Bikila?

    I have worn out the toes on my KSOs. I now require a new pair of VFFs. The primary use of the replacement shoes will be triathlon training/racing. I love my KSOs, love the ground feel, love everything about them. But the Bikilas are supposed to be The Vibram Running Shoe. I hesitate to switch...
