Many of you know that I'm a news photographer in Phoenix, AZ. I thought I would post some links to some stories that I've worked on. The story on the cloistered nuns was a the story that I won my 1st Emmy Award for.




A story that we did a couple of months ago on a guy who scammed people out of about $100,000.

The nun's story.

Nuns Pt 1 I guess these aren't working anymore. Sorry.

Wow, grats on the Emmy, that is a major achievement.  I don't even think Ron Burgundy won one of those!

Good luck on the race this weekend.

Would it be wrong if I brought it with me at the race? Actually it just sits on a sofa table in our living room. I think finishing an Ironman would be a bigger achievement though.

Congrats on the Emmy, that is amazing!

X3!!!!!!

If I had an Emmy, I'd take it everywhere.  Group Rides, Burger King, the Barber Shop...if anyone ever gives you a hard time about anything just pull out the Emmy and ask if there's a smudge on it.  

I'd also have to disagree with you on whats a bigger achievement; an Emmy is a big deal and you have to work for it.  You're putting in hours working for someone else and alot of times doing things you don't enjoy.  Such as working late when you have prior commitments.  The path of Ironman is tough but purely optional and enjoying; the training is tough but hopefully you are doing it because you enjoy the sport and competition. 

If its one pet peeve I have about this sport is when people refer to triathlon training as a sacrifice, work, or unenjoyable... I (and I'm sure everyone here) do this because I enjoy the training maybe more than the racing.  Anyway I'll get off my soapbox before you ask me if there's a smudge on your Emmy.

I have thought about that and definately will have to keep it in mind.  I have done that before, and my new training schedule is pretty conservative.  I'd rahter put in 30 straight mediocre training weeks than 6 tough weeks and another 6 weeks healing.

I have had 5 nominations and only one win. I have great understanding on awards shows when they show the person winning and then they cut away to the nominees who didn't win and they have perma grin on their faces. I'm that guy. I won the Emmy a couple of years ago but I will say that it was one of the most exciting nights of my life.

Just a note. These Emmy's are like the one's they talk about during the primetime Emmy awards when they say "Last weekend we gave out the Science and Technical awards". I wasn't on NBC or anything.

Enough of this, who is ready to race this weekend? (raises his hand)

I'm departing for a 92 mile hilly ride in a few minutes... gulp!

After that I've got a medium run + swim tomorrow, and then a medium bike on Sunday.

I will be wearing shoes for all of those sessions, except the swim.

wow good luck!

Same here

Anyone ever use compression socks/calf guards? I am looking to buy some (i have read a lot about the CEP ones)...just curious if anyone uses them?

Heading out tonight on the red eye to NY - hoping to get a run in this weekend in between the graduation festivities, something like 7-8 miles. We'll see if it works out, time with my family is the #1 priority this weekend.
