Is there any way to prevent this blog from popping up when folks search my regular name?

Stop linking your race results to it.....

No.

You might not be able to remove it but there are a couple of things you can do.

from your blogger dashboard, go to the basic settings and change the answer to the question "let search engines find this blog". It takes awhile for it to drop out of search results.

After that, try to avoid letting people link to your blog using your full name. Ask them to change it when you find that happens.

Are we going to have an ex-girlfriend stalking us on the hardrock course?
I just don't use my real name anywhere on my blog.

Are you saying Brownie isn't your real name?

Dear Rupert Rumplestiltskin, like JohnF said I'd turn search off.

Take care Rupert, have fun pacing at Hardrock.

And Franco, I hope you enjoy having Rupert pace you at Hardrock.

I do all those things already, but this blog still pops up as the first thing. Weird.

Depending how far you want to dig, Google Webmaster tools can give some insight to how/where your site is linked affecting search results.

If you did anything important with your life, those things would poop up first...of course, I never associate my real name with the blog so as to keep it away from the unimportant (as in, professional) aspects of my life.

It may be from the name associated with your email address. ie, when I send you an email my name is shown...
Your email address is proby used to receive alerts such as this one.
Just a thought.
