Recent Health Research Update. Many of you told me you loved the research updates. So, here you go: Mental Attitude: Sleep Well.

That’s me on the bike. Xterra Lory went down on August 27, 2011. It was my best race ever. To be clear, I still have a long way to go to become even a mediocre triathlete. But I’m getting better. I started this season weighing 194. I weighed in for this race at 177. I’ve […]
