Back of the Pack: Observations of a Social Athlete. After My First Tri: Pinebush '06. Me and Coach Andrea - Armed and Dangerous! Friday, August 1, 2008. A week or so ago my brother-in-law emailed me - he is planning to do RAGBRAI next year, and wondered if I might be interested in going along for the ride, so to speak. RAGBRAI is sponsored annually by the Des Moines Register. And stands for the Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. Register Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. I figure Bob came u...

Back of the Pack: Observations of a Social Athlete. After My First Tri: Pinebush '06. Me and Coach Andrea - Armed and Dangerous! Friday, May 30, 2008. Perhaps I Should Roll the Bottoms of my Trousers. Has to happen at some time, I guess. For me, the first time was Memorial Day at Bob's house. After the check, I take the ball in, and hit Bob with a pass. He gets a quick shot off and swish, we score. Bob says, "On any balls out of the pool who ever gets it, keeps it." Oops. So it goes. Tim shoots over ...

Back of the Pack: Observations of a Social Athlete. After My First Tri: Pinebush '06. Me and Coach Andrea - Armed and Dangerous! Sunday, August 3, 2008. Two hundred yards. Two teams. Two swimmers per team. Two laps per swimmer, each swimmer alternating laps. We were almost to the end of our last Stroke Improvement class, and this was Coach Aaron's final gift to us - a relay race. We were tired from the usual gamut of drills, and it was late, but this was a good idea, right? Only this time, I am having se...

Some People Move Our Souls To Dance: Jackie Stack, August 20, 1948 - November 15, 2007. This is not to say she was a tyrant - far from it. She was a leader, and she lead, and inspired, by example. Jackie knew everyone, though. And she knew what they did, and she knew their children and she knew how things were going for them. Pretty amazing...Her r...

RAGBRAI 2009: I've Decided to Do It - Now What? Ok - as I mentioned in my previous entry, with a little prompting from my brother-in-law Bob, I've decided to spend 7 days next summer riding my bike 470 miles across the state of Iowa. What now? As the reality set in, I began to think about things like, "How do I get there? How do I get my bike there?

Back of the Pack: Observations of a Social Athlete. After My First Tri: Pinebush '06. Me and Coach Andrea - Armed and Dangerous! Monday, June 30, 2008. I saw a guy shaving in the locker room at the Y last week. Nothing unusual about that, lots of guys shave there. In fact, the bathroom area in the locker room is equipped with 3 sinks, a wall to wall mirror and even a built in hair dryer, all supporting male grooming. But, this guy was shaving with a paring knife. That knife must be really sharp! Earlier ...

Back of the Pack: Observations of a Social Athlete. After My First Tri: Pinebush '06. Me and Coach Andrea - Armed and Dangerous! Friday, August 1, 2008. Arriba la loma EMPINADA! Or Marcy, Marcy, Marcy. My friend Milt is a 45'er - that means he's climbed 45 of the 46 highest peaks in New York State and needs just one more - Mt. Marcy, the highest of them all. To become an Adirondack 46er. He's invited his friends and hiking buddies, including me, to join him for his joyous ascent on, hopefully, August 16.
