Anu Vaidyanathan: Crash and Burn -- Tales of a disobedient walrus

Anu Vaidyanathan Chats With Joan Benoit Samuelson
09/29/08: Prologue: Most of my questions for coaches have not been about what pace to run my 100 meter non-intervals at, they have been about how to go about my life and include this notion of excellence in it. I have worked with a couple of coaches (Read More)

Anu Vaidyanathan Chats with IM China Champion Olaf Sabatschus
05/02/08: I met Olaf Sabatschus after my race in Ironman China, on that tour bus back to the airport at some unearthly hour in the morning. I was sure it was the guy who won the race but I was wearing my glasses and I couldnt tell. Turned out we had seats (Read More)

Anu Vaidyanathan: Chinese Encounters
04/23/08: Hillary Biscay is spelled T.R.O.U.B.L.E. After her little visit to our swamp in January, the idea of doing two Ironman races within 6 weeks of each other seemed like a task even I should undertake. I am neither super fast nor super buoyant but I am (Read More)

Living on the Edge
