Professional Triathlon “Union” — Why Words Matter (And What PTU Can Do About It)

“Words, words, words.”  ― William Shakespeare, Hamlet Words matter.  While we all may spew thousands of words a day and think of many of those words as throwaways, the words we use have meaning.  In some cases, lots of meaning.  When we wrote about the Professional Triathlon Union (“PTU”) last week, we Read more…

Challenge Atlantic City Day One

Yesterday we finally left Connecticut for Challenge Atlantic City.  Atlantic City will be my seventh 140.6 triathlon and at this point I feel as if I have the pre-race preparation down cold.  My routine is to lay everything out on the bed to make sure I have everything.  I’ve gotten Read more…
