Crash and Burn at REVEL Kulia on the Big Island of Hawaii
My training over the past 3 months had gone well. I was happy with my pace and my form. I had no injuries to worry about. I was confident of qualifying for Boston at Revel Kulia on the Big Island of Hawaii. Unfortunately, it was not to be. My finish time was a more than […]
Revel Kulia is tomorrow
The Big Island is gorgeous! It’s warm and windy. Tomorrow is the big race; 26.2 miles of exhilarating torture. The course is downhill with sporadic uphill patterns. From my own GPS analysis, I expect to get out of the gate fast and stay there for the first hour for an average of 7:30 per mile […]

In the summer, we went up to the bay area in Northern California and ate the finest meal we have eaten in the US. French Laundry (thank you Amiben)! In […]
Bandhavghar National Park, India
