Fat Tire Festival 2012
Next to Tulsa Tough, I would say this is the second most fun event of the season. Fat Tire Festival is located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the heart of the Ozarks. It is a series of 4 events (5 if you include the beer relay. I do.) You can do 1, 2 or all of ...
Race Day Nutrition Strategy – The Du Draper Twice, July 7th & 8th 2012
This past weekend, I headed over to OKC for an off road duathlon on Saturday and an on road duathlon on Sunday. I won’t talk about the race on this post, but rather thought I’d focus on my nutrition. Race Night Meal: When I go to OKC, I stay with my grandparents. Normally one would ...
Ozark Valley Tri, Fayetteville, Arkansas, June 24, 2012
Oh my gosh! I had so much fun this past weekend!

Post Oak 10K
Yeah! Today I only rolled my ankle once at the Post Oak 10K in Tulsa, OK. Very cool venue. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The 10K is actually the weenie race. People come from other states to do the 50k, marathon, and half marathon. I only run on trails once a year and this ...
Valentine’s 10K, forget the heart, what about my eyes?
I ran the Valentine’s Day 10K today, February 11th. (Note. Not exactly on Valentine’s Day.) Well, I’m not gonna lie about the race. It sucked. I woke up and the temp was 18 degrees with the wind out of the North. I didn’t bother looking to see what the wind chill was. If I hadn’t ...
