Thought I’d check in. Again as my projects/ideas pick up, my blogging slows to a crawl.

Haven’t been doing a whole lot of training. Been bad. Just getting over a cold/flu bug, so now trying to get back into it. Did a short run yesterday and about 40 minutes today. Still a little congested but not coughing up quite as much phlem (sp?) as this weekend.

Getting excited to head out to Kona to watch the race. Gonna be good, though DeBoom just pulled out due to injury.

Been working on some ideas for Trifuel sister sites. I call them sister sites because they will be their own site, but still (for the most part) targeted to endurance/adventure athletes. I’ve been admiring the concepts behind sites like Newsvine and Digg. Were users who are passionate about topics feed the site with information and news, and others can vote on and discuss the items. The down side (in my opinion) to these sites is Digg is very techy and newsvine is very newsy, but neither have much in the way of sports and almost nothing in endurance or adventure type sports. So, I’ve been playing around with making a site that tailors to us (or me ). Another way for me to pursue other interests outside of Triathlon. Anyway, you can take a look and join in on the posting at Feedstoke. Very simple and basic for now, members just submit stories and then the rest of us read, vote on, and discuss.

I think it’s good for you BBB, you always post good links to stories and what-not in the Trifuel forums, but it gets lost in there sometimes. This site is hopefully a way to keep discussions on those topics going and allow people to create lists of their favorite items.

I’ll probably be working on this site for a while and see how it comes along. have other ideas and some redesign thoughts for Trifuel, so hopefully will work on those this fall as well.

Anyway that’s what I’ve been doing with my time as of late.
