Software

I've written some open source software, mostly for my own needs. Users of Polar Heart rate monitors on Linux/Unix platforms may wish to have a look at the s710 software package. Linux-inclined owners of the Garmin Forerunner or Edge GPS units should have a look at garmintools. The complete pile of open source code that I've released can be found here.

Training

I used to ride, run and cross country ski with a Polar S720i heart rate monitor. Lately, I've moved on to a Garmin Forerunner 305, and will complement it with an SRM PowerMeter during the cycling season. I've gradually gotten more and more disciplined about recording all of the training I do, even as I grow less and less disciplined about actually going out and training.

Race reports

Another thing I've gotten into for the sake of posterity is the occasional writing of race reports. I started this in 1996 at the US Olympic Trials for track cycling and I've been doing it off and on ever since. My race reports are here.
