I wonder how the sixty thousand layoffs and buyouts are going at Microsoft. Ah, well. Time to go check my email,

PSA: Turn off autoplay video here and in any other apps you use so you don't accidentally watch the video of that horrible plane crash in Florida. I wish I hadn't.

Very belated, but here’s my race report from Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities a few weeks ago.

A solid result, even if it didn’t feel like it at first.

A few photos from Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities this weekend. Race report coming later this week, but pretty good race overall for me, although I was a couple of minutes slower than last year. Next up, Oceanside in April. That’s it for this season!
All checked in for Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities tomorrow! Bib number 79, here’s my live tracking link if you want to follow along; race starts at 6:30 AM PDT.
I’m begging Rouvy to please let me finish a single workout route.

It's very funny to me that Google added a "Generative AI features" report to Google Search Console, but it only shows impressions, i.e. "how many times links to your site were shown to a user in a generative AI feature on Google Search," not clicks. I wonder why!

Race report coming later this week, but in the meantime, here are a few photos from Ironman 70.3 Boise (more like 69.1—the swim was canceled at the last minute due to the high winds at Lucky Peak Reservoir).
Here's how it went last year: www.giventotri.com/2025/07/30/r... I'm expecting a much tougher race this year, with an expected high of 101ºF/38ºC, and possibly poor AQI due to the fires in Oregon (it's currently "moderate" at 96).

Made some changes to my website last night, it should be considerably faster now. Check it out: www.allencompassingtrip.com (TLDR: I put the whole thing, including image rendering, behind Cloudflare. Faster and it's gonna save me like $20 a month compared to the previous Thumbor + AWS stack.)
