. The word “Camp” is hardly the way to describe my training in London.  It was more like a training resort.  Although I had to study all day long, training woke me up in the morning and also provided a nice break mid-day.  My gym and pool were drool worthy even to the most outdoor [...]

Last weekend we celebrated Inbal’s half Israman. From “i cant swim” to half Ironman in less then 6 month!… Good luck with the London Marathon!

Running technique for dummies.. and by dummies I mean dummy… me. I joined a long distance triathlon group called Zone 3*applause* and I have a new coach – Lior Zach-Maor *applause again*.

Yea, you heard me. Don’t pretend you didn’t. Five years after birth is the last time this happened… but in a race, like in war, and like in the kiddie pool, with lack of a more appropriate phrase – You DO what you have to DO. I did what I had to do … I, [...]
