This is the end of my musings on how endurance is going to look different for Team Faubel. Thank goodness. There’s nothing like getting in the car for the morning commute and looking at the full moon and feeling a sudden impulse to whip through the pre-dawn streets without headlights to let you know that […] more

Continuing from where we left off – more ways that endurance season 2012 and beyond will look different.  Tess is being a terrorist this morning and I slept in, in a desprete attempt to make some physical issues go away (didn’t work).  If you thought eating salad as finger food was difficult – just try […] more
