I haven’t had the best of luck this year when it comes to triathlons and the weather. A very cold (25F) Sprint in Shelbyville back in February, as it always is. Then a cold and rainy day in Knoxville, followed by an unseasonably warm (85F) Half-Ironman at Taylorsville. I was due for some good racing […]

I first heard about this race several years ago. Our local multi-sport club, the Louisville Landsharks always sends a large group of people up to Maysville, Kentucky for this race. My interest in making the 2-1/2 hour trip northeast grew even more when my brother and his family moved to Maysville two years ago. When […]

As I mentioned in my race preview, I felt very fit coming into this race. The only unknown was how my foot would respond once I started running? As it turned out, the tendonitis has healed up…but I paid dearly for the time I spent letting it heal. When I woke up Sunday morning, it […]

This will be year #2 for TriFest. It’s a full weekend of racing for the triathlon enthusiast. It’s sponsored by our local triathlon store, VO2 Multisport and organized by Headfirst Performance. These two companies play a huge part in keeping the multisport community strong here in Louisville. There are a total of three races this […]

Nutella is not a new product. It’s made in Italy and has been on the shelves in stores there since the 1960’s. It’s even been here in the US in certain places since the early 1980’s. But it just in the last 4-5 years that it’s been readily available in just about every grocery store. […]

It was wet. I could just end the report now, but I’m sure that if you actually clicked on the link to read a report, you would like a few more details. The last two seasons, Rev3 Knoxville has been my lone “destination race”. It’s not easy to pack up three small children and drive […]

  This will be my second year doing this Olympic Distance race in Knoxville, Tennessee. I had a great time last year, which you can read about here…so I decided to get it on the race calendar again in 2013. The race will consist of a 0.9 mile (1500 meter) swim, a 24.8 mile (40K) […]

Two weeks ago I was in Scottsdale, Arizona for a work-related sales meeting. I knew that the weather was going to be nice out there and since I needed to get in a long run, I decided to pack my running gear. I did a little recon the night before and found a nice little […]

I’ve crossed lots of finish lines. Some are just a line spray painted on a parking lot with only other racers standing around. Others are huge productions with lights, speakers, hundreds of people cheering you as your name is called – accomplishing a major goal in your life. No matter how extravagant the finish line […]

For those of you living in other parts of the country, this past weekend was the start of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. I am typically (8 of the last 10 years) in Las Vegas for a guys trip during this weekend. Due to lots of factors, including the fact that I’m getting too old for […]
