With the final leaves falling, we are tallying season results, figuring stats and planning for the long winter ahead. A few of us are still racing! For instance, John Martin is ramping up for Beach 2 Battleship Ironman Triathlon in North Carolina.

For the fifth time in five years, GMM member Sean Luitjens ran a double Boston Marathon to raise money for medical research. Here is his race (and fundraising) report.We had a great stroll from Boston out to Hopkinton. We started a bit later than we had hoped, after 5 AM, but the weather was perfect with upper 40s and overcast. Had the usual family and friend support at mile 10, 16 and 21 and

For those visiting this site from afar...we've got about two feet of snow on the ground and December has already had more days below freezing than above freezing...and it's not even officially winter yet. So, for a little motivation to get out of bed on those cold and dark days, take a look at this... (Warning: sound included.)

Kevin's Cup XVI Race ReportI had been in Oregon almost a week and there had not been a drop of rain the entire time. Actually, they hadn't had rain for quite a while before that week, which was great for perusing around and really exploring Oregon without remaining soggy. However, I believe some rain was crucial for the 16th annual Kevin's Cup 8K Trail Run held in West Linn, OR on Saturday,

This race meant a lot to me after a hugely disappointing DNF at Ironman Lake Placid due to major nutrition plan mistakes (not enough calories and hydration) and poor mental prep.
