The title is one of those inequalities you might remember from school and kind of describes the summer months of training and racing in Austin, TX. I love to be outside so i try to use every bit of daylight available, preferably pedaling. This can have consequences though. If you were fit i...

Greetings from St. Croix. I’ve made it here safe and sound, and have been kicking back and relaxing innerspersed with some shorter workouts.

I’ve updated my blog with some pics from today:

Managed another decent day bike racing. With bad weather threatening all weekend on a pretty rocky course, we definitely dodged the bullet when it ended up being sunny and 75 at the start line! The course was one big 27 mile loop full of some nice rock ledges, gardens and plenty of elevation...

Tomorrow, I’m heading to St.Croix for my first race of the 2008 season. St.Croix Ironman 70.3 is a classic in the sport of triathlon. It’s a challenging course, in a beautiful location, with a talented pro field. It’s been too long since I’ve raced, so I’m itching...

Okay, I think I’ve got it nailed down, finally!! The tendonitis episode from March is officially gone and my recovery has come along really well. The first two weeks of running was a test of patience, because I was hoping to suddenly have the running form I had right before my injury. It...

A little late, but time seems to be disappearing as of lately. With only 4 more weeks left of school I have a project due every week for the next 3 along with a couple of sweet end of the semester exams that should be followed promptly by some final exams. Oh well, I will do what I can.

My recovery is coming along great. I just finished my first week of running without any major issues, aside from the normal soreness associated with starting back up after three weeks without running. The approach to my recovery is pretty conservative, but I’m confident that I’ll come out of t...

I’m changing my upcoming race schedule due to injury issues. I will not be racing Ironman Arizona or Boise Ironman 70.3. In place of those two races I will be racing St. Croix Ironman 70.3 and then Ironman Brazil. We’ll also be switching around some of my planned local races in Ce...

The re-tooled Belterra Hill Country Circuit Race was held this past Saturday west of Austin. I say re-tooled because the prior two years it featured tough pitches and fast descents through a nascent development. No longer a pretty construction site, Belterra is a full-on neighborhood replete...

There are some new tools laying around Source Endurance. I had the pleasure of being somewhat the first test pilot for this new fitting system and it was pretty awesome. David Wenger hooked me up with led electrodes until I looked like a robot out of Star Wars and we tested! This machine is...

I made it back to Austin safe and sound last night from my 3 week training camp in Germany and Spain. It was an amazing experience. I got to ride on some of the most beautiful roads I’ve ever seen, train with some of the best professional triathletes in the world, and just plain have fun...

Holy smokes, after looking at the news update on all the source athletes that are going real well right now I am pretty happy! Its good to see a lot of people not only enjoying being active but doing it in a ‘fast’ fashion!

Here is my TMBRA roun...

Seriously, Mallorca is a playground for cyclists. With week one done, I put in 610 miles on the bike and I even had a day off in there! Check out the pics I posted on my website.

Well, I am currently in Phoenix, Arizona at Athletes Performance. I thought that adding a few hours of strength, stability, and core a day to my training would be a fun thing to do for spring break! I am actually really enjoying it. One good thing about Phoenix is that you tan sooo fast.. i me...

Last weekend at the beautiful lake front city of Lago Vista I had I little run in with a rather large Doe. I hit the deer at the bottom of the steepest fastest downhill on the course. Pretty unlucky all around if you ask me. What makes the story even more unlucky, as far as I know there were ...

Just checking in from Germany. I’ve updated my website with happenings and pictures. Check it out, www.patrickevoe.com

Man I am slow with this!

I will say I had a good race… and was not envious of all the deer dodging going on it Lago.

I entered the single track I would assume close to last. but that was fine with me because of all the head wind to come I just moved around people slow...

I’m leaving tomorrow for my three week training camp in Europe. If I can get to a computer, I’m planning on posting some updates and photos on my website. Check my site in a week or so to see how things are coming along. www.patrickevoe.com

look for me. If you happen to peruse a German triathlon magazine, you may catch a glimpse of me. Check out the Xterra Wetsuit advertisement to be printed in some German tri mags. Note: I am the less hairy of the two people in the ad. Although, I wish I could grow a cool beard like the other gu...

Next weekend, I’m heading out of Austin to do my final Ironman Arizona preparation work in Europe. I’ll be spending a total of three weeks training there, with the first week in Germany and the following two weeks in Mallorca, Spain. Then I’ll come back to Austin in the end of March and begin ...

Just checking in to offer a few musical suggestions to accompany your interval sessions. It’s certainly the meaty time of the early season for intervals. Most Texans are aiming to leave their mark on the 3 big weekends in the next four weeks. I am not exactly encouraging people to lis...

My new Gary Fisher Superfly is pretty rippin’. I got to ride it a couple of days in the desert this last weekend and boy oh boy did it impress me! If only it had a better motor.

My race went pretty well, other than the fact that I continue to make the same mistake and cramp up ...

You know your cars old when: 1. You think something blew up behind you but then you realize its just your exhaust (only happens occasionally for the first few minutes of driving). 2. You hit something and don’t even get out to check the damages (the grill guard helps). 3. It makes a Horrendous...

Sometimes the mental challenges are as great as the physical. As part of my training, my coach, Derick, schedules phases and cycles that coincide with a larger picture for the next race’s preparation, the coming season, as well as my long-term development. Each phase brings its own challenges,...

Well, this past weekend I decided to go home to New Orleans for a couple of reasons. The first reason was to see my good friend, Lauren, who is moving to New Jersey (don’t as me why Jersey). The second was to see my little bro(6) and sis(8) who start missing me pretty bad after about 6 weeks. ...

Hello Everybody!

With the conclusion of this past weekend, I find myself a newly minted Cat.2. Today an unobtrusive envelope arrived in the mail carrying a simple sticker with the number “2” labeled on it. Slightly ironic as I have battled for this upgrade, and the rewa...
