Here are some of the recent blogs...
So I was feeding my pull buoy the other day, and my coworker Natalie said something to the extent of "aww, you love your pull buoy don't you? You should name it something. Like Herman."
I agreed...yes, I do love my pull buoy, and besides, something you put in between your legs almost every da... read more
After one year, I am back in Klagenfurt. Last year I finished here 5th in 9:13 and I hope to improve both, position and time. My training last few weeks went well and I was actually quite sad to leave Leysin yesterday. It is really lovely small and quiet place and I could easily imagine to live ther... read more
Last Sunday, I rented a car and drove to Pontarlier, France for the Lac Saint Point Triathlon. The Olympic distance race started at 2pm, so I set off from Leysin that morning and arrived at Lac Saint Point around lunch time.
There was a mass start for the Olympic distance wave - 2 loops of Lac S... read more
After a long drive yesterday, which was actually quite painless except for one little detour thanks to the GPS and a few thunderstorms, Lucie and I are in Klagenfurt and doing final prep for the race.
Had a good swim in the lake this morning - the water is warm, but not too warm to prevent wetsui... read more
I love new toys! Lets make it ride fast now!
took 5h to build as i wanted to learn everything about the new cable routing and rear break mecanism... i think i understand everything pretty well now after investigating everything! Now, just need some new extension, cut the fork a bit more, put ... read more
Well not quite, but this afternoon I was lying on the couch enjoying a replay of the Amstel Gold cycling race and all of a sudden the rain came.
It wasn’t just a small downpour but a full on drenching with thunder, and hail. While I was quite disappointed as my TV cable reception dissipated and p... read more
I’m packing up for the big move to Park City, UTAH and starting to get some training in the legs. Things are coming along. Shaking out a bike rag, a big black widow landed two inches from my right foot! Yikes! And I’m not sure what it is, but everytime I ride, the stupid sqirrels here attempt... read more
After a sleep deprived night due to many things including a queer smelling smoke wafting into my room from the party below me...which still didn’t put me to sleep..but probably could have! Then a 1am call out from down below, I look over the balcony, Chris had somehow locked himself out...damn f... read more
Today, I raced in my 1st ever European race here in Switzerland. I was lucky to get a ride from Erica as she was also racing in this event. We left Leysin at about 4am, as the drive to the race site would take about 2hrs and the race would start at 8am. We reached race site with enough time to spare... read more
These days are almost all the same to me since I have been here.
Wake up and talk to my woman on Skype.
Take my time to eat breaky and catch up with the world.
By about mid day I hear out the door on my bike to the pool.
Get to the pool and meet my reliable swim partner, THE CLOCK! REDTOPGO!

I dont go to the slowtwitch website often, but today I did and I saw an article on Jamie Whitmore. I dont know Jamie, I have never even met her, but I was so sad and moved by what I read.
I knew Jamie did Xterra and was really successful at it.
I read that Jamie was the 2007 XTERRA USA Champion... read more

Weekends are for sleeping in, having brunch, doing nothing, or a nice, leisurely jog around and around a track in Switzerland.
Last Sunday was long track day, and Chris had plenty of time to take a few pictures.

Enjoy!

So the Bean left Africa to get away from the misery that is winter. Funny, what is winter in Africa is summer in the Alps of Switzerland...
For those that are aquainted, they are well aware that the Bean has a serious allergy to cold and is likely to dress up as the Michelin man just to eat an ice-... read more
First I want to thank the Jensen Family, the homestay has been great. You guys made me feel like I was at home, and allowed me to race the best I could out there!
Not finishing an Ironman is something that sticks with you until you get your next finish, even if that finish is walking to the lin... read more
I was 6th on IM Japan.
The wether condition was not so good.
It was cloud and sometime rain but humidity was 91%.
I swam in 1st group with team mate Cameron.
I wanted to hung them on the bike but they were monsters.
I could not ride with them...
I just tried to keep my good pac... read more

Comrades!
We live dangerous times!
We are surrounded by spies!
Yesterday we got guests in our morning swim session, man and woman in black. The agents of WADA. They picked up our 2 top guns, Lucie and Lisbeth. Of course they wanted the bests. I felt a bit revolted, they did not want me…or m... read more
Hi everyone,
Just few hours ago I was racing here in Washington my first ITU race since Beijing oliypic games.
It feels quite strage to be back to the circuit but after a while it gets normal once all the faces around are still the same.
Because I don´thave many point in the ranking at the momen... read more
As you should know, I am a big big fan of Ayrton Senna. One of the best or the best drivers of F-1 of all time! For me and for all Brazilians he is a hero, even for people from other countries too. I already posted a video on it, but in portuguese, is a video that I wish that every Bra... read more
Wow what a week!!!!
This past week I have been hobbling around everywhere, the race in Korea took soooo much outta me, more than any other race I:ve ever done including Ironman due to the insane downhill run course and lack of running training ;)
Instead of tuning my engine this week, I:ve been t... read more

The race is held in a beautiful part of the English countryside near Exmoor national park. The race is based around Wimbleball lake which is very picturesque.
My race: I came out of the swim in 4th with I think 6 others, including Fra... read more
This past weekend I went back to my roots to race the UK 70.3 in beautiful Exmoor. This is the West Country at its best.
I flew into Bristol Airport and was immediately reminded of the unmistakable Bristolian twang. The West Country accent is a sound to behold!! As I walked into arrivals a l... read more
Wednesday last week, I made the decision to go up to Kraichgau, Germany to race the half IM, Challenge Kraichgau. A very late entry, I know but Rebekah contacted the organizers for me and made sure that I got a start and accomodation- thanks Bek. My triathlon bars broke in Brasil but thanks to AJ an... read more
IM Lanzarote is now quite a while back. Recovery went nice and I am in full training mode again for IM Switzerland.
Nethertheless, Denis finished his IM Lanzarote these days and sent me the link. It's great work and some of TeamTBB's athletes play a major role ;-)
I experienced the race from t... read more
Tereza's post on her pull buoy (or lack of a DECENT pb) inspired me to write a short piece about my beloved pull buoy. I love it. If I'm not swimming band only, I will have this between my legs (????). I'm sure the other swimmers and the local 'ironman' athletes that swim at my local pool l... read more
