Marco Off the Mark: Island View Crit P/1/2/3

http://marcofanelli.blogspot.com/2010/03/island-view-crit-p123.html

Sunday, March 07, 2010. Island View Crit P/1/2/3. I'm pretty sure you cannot view the islands from Research Park, and I doubt you can even see the ocean. But you could definitely see a sea of Platinum jerseys in the P/1/2/3 race on Saturday afternoon. Now usually we're spread over many different age groups and categories, but this was a rare opportunity for a bunch of us to race together since there weren't any Masters or separate cat-3 races. Adrian was very active as usual. And finally, thanks again to...

Marco Off the Mark: Finally a Runner

http://marcofanelli.blogspot.com/2012/11/finally-runner.html

Tuesday, November 13, 2012. I ran the Santa Barbara International Marathon. On Saturday but before I tell you about that, I want to briefly share my history with running races. My first race was during college. Gina and I had just begun dating and I was still in that show-off, try-to-make-a-good-impression phase of the relationship. She asked me if I'd like to do a running race with her. " Sure,. I said, thinking to myself, "A 10K .how hard could that be? Gina would be so impressed with my awesomeness.

Marco Off the Mark: Ronde de Solvang Century Race/Ride Report

http://marcofanelli.blogspot.com/2010/03/ronde-de-solvang-century-raceride.html

Sunday, March 14, 2010. Ronde de Solvang Century Race/Ride Report. I am quickly becoming a true Fred, and honestly, I'm OK with that. I fully expect that someday in the not-so-distant future I'll be sporting a neon-green wind breaker and a helmet mirror while riding along the bike path at 13 mph. Actually, I'm pretty accomplished at that last part already. That brief preamble is just setting the stage for tonight's confession:. 1) I rode the Solvang Century on Saturday. 2) I rested all week for it. Very ...

Marco Off the Mark: Don't Try This at Home

http://marcofanelli.blogspot.com/2010/03/dont-try-this-at-home.html

Tuesday, March 02, 2010. Don't Try This at Home. Could it really be possible to descend the Stelvio with no hands and no brakes? Tuesday, March 02, 2010. Its all about the converse. 5:50 PM, March 02, 2010. That is laugh out loud funny. And the scenery is pretty cool too. 6:23 PM, March 02, 2010. I think hes got a coaster brake on that thing. Hes definitely slowing down in teh corners. 9:16 PM, March 02, 2010. Case closed. Hope hes not using his best Sidis! 8:52 AM, March 03, 2010. 8:54 AM, March 03, 2010.

Marco Off the Mark: Let Me Count the Ways...

http://marcofanelli.blogspot.com/2010/11/let-me-count-ways.html

Thursday, November 18, 2010. Let Me Count the Ways. I think I'm in love with Trail Running. Or maybe it's just a jumbo-size crush .time will tell I guess. A younger man would just let loose and follow his heart, be a romantic. I'm more rational than that; I like to analyze and make lists. Pros and cons, that sort of thing. Here are the pros:. 1 Unlike my last affair. Trail running doesn't hurt! 2 And what a heart-pumping experience it is to run all out up a 30% slope. Few things scream, "I'M ALIVE! 3 I'm...
