And now for a little Monday afternoon treat: an exclusive photo montage from the Fractured Atlas Triathlon Team’s debut last weekend. (Thanks to Nick Gray for putting this together!)
The real question is, does any other organization have a Board chair with such an awesome display of chest hair?
On a cold, rainy, miserable day, the Fractured Atlas triathlon team made its long anticipated debut yesterday. I’m proud to report that all three teams finished, and that the Half-Ironman relay team of Elizabeth, Tim, and me left with a trophy for coming in 3rd place in our (not very competitive) bracket.
As a whole, everything [...]
It’s finally here, race day! Our Fractured Atlas teams will be gathering in a few minutes to head over to the race site (at a dark and rainy 5:30AM). The Half Ironman wave hits the water at 7:55AM and the sprint teams depart at 8:30AM. Adam Huttler will be bringing us all home with [...]
We’re in the last week before the Fractured Atlas Triathlon Team debuts on the world stage. Loyal blog readers have met many of the team members and learned a little bit about where we’re all coming from. Now it’s my turn, and I’m going to get a bit personal.
My childhood and early adolescence were spent [...]

To my surprise the swimming has initially been the bigger challenge. It took a training session with a friend who [...]
After months of preparation, training, an accident, and sans an iPod the Fractured Atlas teams are down to only two weeks before the Belly of the Beast triathlon. That’s all, merely a calendar update.
I’m proud to report that our $9.09 on 9.09 campaign was a success! A loud and sincere THANK YOU goes out to everyone who contributed yesterday. The names of all our generous 9.09 donors are below, many of whom went beyond the call of duty by giving more than the suggested amount!

If you can tear yourself away from the other exciting, strange, [...]
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of doing a brisk 15-mile training ride with Fractured Atlas member and New Hampshire-based percussionist Doug Perkins after his performance at B A R N in Brooklyn.
Doug is in Fractured Atlas-member organization, Meehan/Perkins Duo, an ensemble with roots in both New Hampshire and Texas — shout out to our members [...]
My assigned triathlon duty is to hold up the running portion for our sprint team: my responsibility is to be able to complete a 5K run in a reasonable amount of time on September 27. I don’t have dramatic eating-dirt-on-the-George-Washington-Bridge stories or inspiring I-did-a-triathlon-on-my-birthday tales.
I run. I go out, run 1.5 miles, turn around, and [...]
