Let me share a couple of inspirational stories from the carb load dinner last night.
Mark Davis weighed 368 pounds 2 years ago. His dying father gave him an extra large shirt and told him to try it on. Mark tried to put [...]

It’s Friday afternoon and in about 19 hours I will throw myself into muddy Lake Utah with 1999 swim buddies.
You know the feeling in your stomach when you are at 8000 feet and your flight instructor says “Greg – you have control now. I want [...]

Back in Calgary!
I had to buy a flight home on Friday night due to an unavoidable situation at home. Not to worry though, everything looks like it’s going to work out fine. All I can say, is I am lucky to be able to get [...]

Salt Lake City!
What a pretty, pretty town! Ultra clean and sparkly with the mountains towering up all around the city. The people I’ve met are extremely friendly as well – I really like this place.

The Great Salt Lake

Utah!
I’m so close I can smell it. I really can – I smelled the ocean today in the light breeze from the south. It was the Great Salt Lake which is now directly to the west of me. I have traveled a total of nearly a thousand kilometers [...]

Ouch my elbows!
I hit a personal record today – I swam 6000 meters, 2 hours, straight out, no stopping (except to pee once).
And hey – someone at the Idaho Falls Aquatic Center actually READ ABOUT ME! Is that cool or what? This guy asked [...]

Yesterday I remarked at how dramatic it was when I rounded the corner coming down from the mountains of southern Montana into the vast plains of Idaho. That the sudden contrast of being thrust into complete flat openness from spending almost an entire week surrounded by [...]

I’m happy to report that Montana has been triathled!
Whew! Another long one – my second near century (100 mile bike ride) in a four days. 151 km today in 10.5 hours. I woke up at 7:00 am to 3 inches of fresh snow on [...]
