What I’ve Been Doing Instead of Swimming (Snowzilla Edition)
I’m officially in the Chesapeake Bay Swim. Yay! So, of course, instead of training (the pools are closed due to the big hissy fit Mother Nature had all over the mid-Atlantic, I have been doing a lot of shoveling. A … Continue reading
Race Report: 2015 Chesapeake Bay Swim
What can I say about the 2015 Chesapeake Bay Swim, other than hot damn… I knew it was going to be trouble when at 0630, I opened the back door to let the hooligans out and felt like I was … Continue reading
Stalking the Chesapeake
In the weeks and days leading up to the Chesapeake Bay Swim, I can get a little bit stalker-ish. I start obsessing about the weather, water temperatures, sea nettles, and now, thanks so much to a recent report, I have … Continue reading
Into the flood (tide) again
After a year of exile, I once again claimed a spot in the Great Chesapeake Bay Swim, the annual aquatic trek from Sandy Point State Park to Kent Island. I was really excited for the race this year because of … Continue reading

My new best friend
My first race of the season is rapidly approaching. I have a three miler this Sunday in the Nanticoke river in southern Maryland (part of the Nanticoke River Swim/Tri). My training has been spotty at best, partly due to hell … Continue reading
Elbows. You need them.
BJJ has taken a slight hiatus recently due to an elbow issue (read: I got armbarred) that’s making simple things like closing a bathroom door more of a yelp-in-pain-and-cuss-like-a-sailor type event. It’s screwing with my swimming as well, since extending … Continue reading
I’m in I’m in I’m in!!!
So here’s where I’ll be June 14, 2009: Maybe I’m a bit too excited about being chosen as one of the lucky 700 to shell out more than $250 to drag my carcass 4.4 miles across the … Continue reading
