Hello,
This blog focuses on sports, martial arts and other physical pursuits. Most of the posts will be about training for Triathlon-related events (swim/bike/run). We will however veer off the competitive sports path, to include some aspects of self-defense/martial training which includes discussions of mindset, equipment/weaponry and tactics.
I'm not a guru/master/shihan ranked expert in any martial arts, nor am I at any risk of winning triathlons (yet?).
Soooo.... this will be geared towards beginners/intermediates, not the elite athletes who finish their race while I'm in the transition area, strapping on my biking shoes... (how do they do it? We will explore this too).
Hope you learn something and 'feel my pain' as I train during the 2007-2008 off-season and start posting insights, rants and lessons learned from training/racing. Of course you'll be treated to 'race reports' on the occasional random encounter with violent street crime in the Washington, DC area...
Stay safe out there,
Gal Shpantzer
