Some great posts on the way!

Hello all. I am working on posts for the past few events.......

Duathlon Complete!

WOW. This was a doozy! So many of my friends were out there and it made it fun. To the Team of Narlie and Carmen great job! Narlie set her PR's on the run and Carmen was way faster on the bike then any of us thought! Then there was Team V which made up of Matt and Jeremy. They decided to participate at the last min and banged out a great effort. Matt's bike avg was out of this world and nailed the ride, Jeremy stayed back and paced the run out with me. I set my best avg for a 5k and was faster on the bike then i thought as well. Brandon and Anthony killed there event and turned in some great times. We are getting faster, stronger, and healthier! Well Done everyone!!!

Stong with the Sock

Here in Bahrain you must come with a strong sock game. If you don't, well you could be having a few problems. Gareth and Ab's keep us all on our best sock game!

If you're having sock problems, We feel bad for ya son. We got 99 problems and our socks ain't one. #SockDoping — feeling Socktastic with Cody Ewing.

Motivation for the Motivator

Well I have made a few posts about how folks say I help them with motivation. That is motivation for me. Circle of life I suppose. Anyways I wanted to post a message I received from an old friend I met in Afghanistan.

KarNaia MzthrottlehappyPhoenyx C Go into that triathlon with this thought:
I met you some years back while working overseas. We were both in a place where our health and happiness left a lot to be desired. Since then we have both learned to love ourselves more and have improved our lives and affected our loved one positively. I want you to know that you are my hero. Every continuous step you take and how much you better you get every day motivates me to also. Remember that you are awesome and even when you think no one is watching they are! You are an inspiration and we love ya! Knock em dead tomorrow! Beastmode Cody!! ~Ashe~"

To Karnaia: Thank you! I am glad to be a positive influence and force out there in the world. 

Wannabe Triathlete meal deal

Well what does this wannabe triathlete eat when the wife is not around?! I did a bit of baking!
Turkey Sausage, zucchini, eggplant, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and potatoes get sliced up and spread on a cookie sheet then add diced tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste then into the oven for on 190 degree C for 60 min. For some libations I juiced some pomegranate we had here in the house. YUMMY!

Swimming is a sport, right Brandon?

So Brandon and myself decide we better get this swimming thing down if we are going to actually do a real triathlon. So we mounted up and headed to the pool after work. It went.....ok. We found out swimming in the ocean was easier and that the hand paddles make a big difference. Now we just have to learn how do use all the aids to get stronger and faster. Im excited cant you tell?!
