It’s pretty easy to go overboard and gain a few pounds over the next 5 weeks. It starts with Thanksgiving and then with the constant parties during December, there are way too many opportunities to either over-eat or eat junk that you normally wouldn’t. Don’t worry, I’m realistic – I know that completely staying away […]

My Off-Season
Some years I’m not quite ready for my triathlon season to be over. This was one of those years. I finished my ‘A’ race for 2013, Ironman Louisville, at the end of August. I had already begun to think about my 2014 race calendar and I knew that I was NOT going to be doing […]

An In-Depth Look At My Ironman Run
In my last post, I covered the 112 mile bike leg of my 2013 Ironman Louisville race. This post will be devoted to the 26.2 mile run. The whole reason I rode within a strict range of power was so that my legs would be in good enough shape to run a marathon. It was […]

Deer Creek Fall Challenge Triathlon Race Report
I believe it was Aristotle that said “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”. That saying is definitely true for this race. This was my second “destination race” of the 2013 season. The first was Rev3 Knoxville, which you can read about here. That trip was fun for the family, but it […]
Blog 2.0
My blog has transformed into much more than the training and racing updates that I was doing when I started this four years ago. I now also share lots of insight into my thoughts on eating and over health and wellness. So with this in mind, I’ve decided to change the name and layout of […]
