No regrets: Pursuing a goal.

[rudd]

An interesting - but rather long - eight part story about one athlete's attempt to excel at a minority sport. It touches on such topics as dedication versus obsession, strength and conditioning versus core skills, the difficulty of being an older athlete and the pain of dealing with a ineffective governing body. It could be fencing, in this case it's speed skating.

Jeeze, That sounds like my story. There must be a book in here somewhere

Lyle McDonald's blog is also worth keeping around in one's RSS reader if you're interested in fitness/nutrition stuff.
