Before I get into the subject of today’s post, I just want to share with you my concern. It’s a small thing. For years I have shared my thoughts in a blog on Blogspot, the original free blogging service now owned by Google. I have no issue with them. It is a terrific service. The thing is, I also have my website, hosted on GoDaddy. I use Drupal there, and the default layout has a front page announcement tool that functions well for a blog. I would like to encourage readers to explore my website, so I am going to try posting there and see how it goes.

In my latest blog post I take a different view of the future than I expressed previously. What changed? Covid-19 numbers. I think 2022 will see a return to normal racing, especially as the year unfolds. I am aiming for IM Cozumel in November. What are you aiming for? Whatever your goals, I can help you get there. Let's show the world we are never too old.

Coaching is about a lot more than writing training plans. A good coach has to know how to talk effectively with athletes. Especially hard during a training session, when emotions tend to get in the way. Read my blog post for more.

In this blog post I describe my recent and on-going injury. More of a set-back, but still frustrating.

My turn to struggle with injury.

2021 holds out little promise for traditional races. Here is some advice on how to pivot and set different goals.

A recent news item from Triathlete.com says some folks want to do for Ironman what Nike did for marathon with their Breaking2 project. I thought running behind cars made the run irrelevant. The Sub-7 project wants to include the same kind of tricky, to include drafting on the bike behind pacers. Well, Nike has sold a lot of shoes.

In this blog post I describe my run warmup drills. Keep in mind that older athletes need more time to get the motor warmed up. I find that fifteen minutes works well for me. Your mileage my vary.

2021 may not see a complete return to racing. Here is my plan.

As a new coach I can offer a 20% discount on a premium TrainingPeaks athlete account. Offer good until December 12, so if you have been thinking about using TrainingPeaks or are currently using a free Basic account, drop me a line.  More about TrainingPeaks pricing.

The updated Winds of Hawi website is ready for an open house. All of my planned sections are filled in, at least enough to get started. Honestly, I get that this will be a never ending project. Technically the one thing I am unsatisfied with is the menu system. To get what I want will require adding a module and that is another kettle of fish I would rather not stir for the time being. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
