I feel like I’m in pretty good health. I exercise, I eat well, I don’t let things stress me out. But even if I appear to be healthy on the outside, it’s impossible to know for sure until I see what’s going on INSIDE my body. A few weeks ago I had some blood drawn […]

What I Learned From Cutting Out Sugar
Today is day 25 of my no sugar journey…it’s also the day that I will eat sugar. After all, it’s Thanksgiving and I can’t imagine the day passing without a piece of pumpkin pie or some sweet potato casserole. It started on a whim. I just decided on November 3rd to cut all sugar (natural […]
Reviewing My 2014 Race Season
My 2104 race season is over (technically it has been for a few months), but it’s now the time of year when I like to look back and review my races. My training for 2015 won’t start up sometime after the beginning of the year, so I use this time of year to analyze this […]
No Sugar November
Now that Halloween is over and we are still a little over three weeks from Thanksgiving and the start of the “holidays”, I’m issuing a challenge to myself and my blog readers – eliminate sugar from your diet from now until Thanksgiving!

When I first became involved in triathlon, I purchased a road bike. I hopped on and as I expected, I was able to ride it even though it had been several years since I had been on one. It took a few rides to figure out how to shift gears. The shifters were on the […]

What is a Louisville Landshark? If you are not familiar with the local multisport club, let me tell you a little about it. Once a small group of less than 20 athletes, the club now hovers around the 300 mark. The club has lots of group activities that not only involve swimming, biking and running, […]
Buffalo Trails Triathlon Race Report
I was really excited to load up the truck and hit the road with my three year old son Adrian on Friday afternoon. We make the 140 mile trip from Louisville to Maysville in around three hours. We arrived a little after four o’clock and went down to pick up my race packet. We then […]
Buffalo Trails Triathlon – Race Preview
The Buffalo Trails Triathlon takes place in the beautiful and historical areas of Maysville and Mason County, Kentucky. I was curious as to why they call this race, the “Buffalo Trails” Triathlon, so I did a little investigating. Before European settlement, herds of Buffalo migrated along a route which passed through the Maysville area from Ohio, […]
It’s Ironman Louisville Week!
Although I am not racing this year, it’s still an exciting time for the sport I love in the city I love. This will be the 8th year for the annual triathlon and the end (kind of) to the tradition. Starting next year, the race will be moved from the end of August to the […]
