A very MUDDY BUDDY!


The 2009 Austin Muddy Buddy was awesome! A great race with great friends.

The short story is it rained Saturday afternoon cooling off Austin. Temps Sunday morning were perfect in the low 60’s and overcast. The 6ish mile course was technical and muddy. I pushed the bike up quite a few hills! My partner Dee and I had a great time of 40 mins and some change which placed us first in the CO-ED 76-85 age group, combined age of 2 partners.

Our friends from up North, Mark and his daughter Jenna had a great race also and cut 15 mins off their time from the Chicago race last year!! Jenna also trains people, "Buddies in training", for the Chicago Muddy Buddy at Elite Fitness and Racquet Clubs. Check it out if you live in the Milwaukee area.

Check out some of our photos here. We have a short video from pre race below! The longer "Race" Video is kinda large and needs to be cut down, it will be up soon too! Race results and photos!

2024 USATF Masters Southwest Region Outdoor Championships

  I have enjoyed getting some time to focus on my running and there is something about you first love (in sports). I remember running laps around our cul-de-sac as a kid dreaming of olympic glory. No Paris for me this year, but I will make a "run" at nationals in Cali later on. I have always had a sweet spot for the 1500/mile. Definitely not my best event, but do what you love, and accept the outcome. I had a good build and speed period to get ready for the race at Rice University. The down side was a 1pm start, so very hot. I wanted to be 4:45 range for the 1500m race, but came up a bit short at 4:52. I will blame it on the heat and I died in the last 200m. Started out strong and led from the gun. Driving into the last lap before the monkey jumped on my back Yep, thats all there was to give. I must also say that I am proud to represent BKV Energy . I joined the team a year ago as a new startup in the retail energy space. They have also help support my athletic pursuits. The ...

2025 USATF Southwest Region Masters Indoor Championships - Masters Mile at UH - A New PR!

  I’ve really enjoyed Masters racing over the past couple of years, so I was excited to hit the track again for the mile at the Yeoman Fieldhouse at UH. Coming into the race, I felt strong —training had been solid and consistent, and I was ready to see what I could do. I had a good warm-up : a couple of miles of jogging, some strides , dynamic stretches, and 4 x 150m ramp-ups to 4:50 pace to get the legs firing. Race Plan & Execution They ran the mile in two heats , and I was in the second. My goal was to go out at 4:58 pace , hold that through 1009m , and then kick it up a notch . Once I started hearing my splits, I knew I was just a touch off pace —but I didn’t panic. At 809m , I still felt in control and started gradually picking it up. Navigating Traffic & The Final Push I was getting back on track when I hit lapped traffic , which forced me to run most of the penultimate lap in Lane 2 —this ended up being my slowest lap . Despite that, I closed strong , crossing t...
