I’m not going to waste time harping on the logistical nightmare this race was for almost everyone involved. All I know is…unless they change the venue, I will not be participating in this race in 2014. Official Results 20:13 (6:29 / mile) 18th out of 338 in my Division 122nd out of 2482 Males 147th […]

Weekend Double-Header
I’d be lying if I said that this weekend was going to be fun. I’m definitely excited about getting to race on back-to-back days, but it’s the nature of the races that will make them less than enjoyable. On Saturday morning, I will run the Anthem 5K for the sixth time. This race is the […]
Polar Bear Triathlon Race Report
My 2014 season is official underway! Sunday was my first race of the season, a modified triathlon at Clear Creek Park in Shelbyville, KY. Our little glimpse into what Winter is like for Canadian’s continues and the bike portion of this Sprint Triathlon had to be cancelled due to concerns over ice on the roads. […]
2013 USA Triathlon Rankings
It’s kind of fun to see where I stack up against the rest of the county. Every year the USAT comes out with their rankings. Note that only USAT Sanctioned races count…AND the race director has to actually send in the results, which doesn’t always happen. It’s a very complicated ranking system that I have […]
My Top 4 Treadmill Workouts
The weather around here (as in most of North America) isn’t very pleasant right now. I will run outside in almost any conditions – rain, cold, extreme heat, etc.. But when it’s below zero or the roads are covered in snow and ice, there’s no choice but to take the runs indoors. I was proud […]

Eating Healthy in 2014
It’s January 1st. The start of a new year – a clean slate, a fresh start. I’ve received several messages from people over the last few days telling me that they have decided to start eating better in 2014 and wanted to know if I had any easy tips or tricks for them. I do. […]
My 2013 Race Season In Charts – Part 2
In my previous post, I took a look at my Performance Management Chart. In this post, I’ll take a quick look at a few other metrics that I tracked over the course of my 8 month race season. I’ve never been a big proponent of weighing myself every day. Before I started doing triathlons, I […]
My 2013 Performance Management Chart
I love data. This is no surprise to anyone that reads this blog or knows me. I’m sure I over-analyze things, but I also believe that you can more easily improve performance when you track it. I enter every workout on a website called Training Peaks. By uploading all of the data from my Garmin […]
Wellness Warrior
I was listening to a podcast a few weeks ago and heard an interview with a woman that left me thinking about a lot of things. I listen to pod casts on a daily basis. Usually it’s while I’m in the car. I find this a good way to pass the time while actually learning […]
