I had several goals heading into this race. Top priority was to try and beat my Olympic distance PR of 2:25:11. Granted this time was set on a different course, but with this race being fairly flat, just as that one was, I knew I would be able to challenge that time with a good […]

This is the second year for the Southern Indiana Triathlon (aka “Race the Bridge”). I didn’t participate in the inaugural race last year, but from what I heard, it was a good time. After my June 16th race in Washington DC was cancelled, I started to look for a race to do in June. This […]

The Olympics are less than 60 days away…see the countdown clock on the left sidebar. I love the Olympics…especially the summer games. I can’t get enough of it. The level of competition combined with the patriotism is something that I look forward to every 2 years. My DVR will be loaded up with events that […]

So what if I told you that large corporations such as Kraft, Coca-Cola, Kellogg’s and Walmart were able to easily eliminate potentially harmful artificial food dyes from their products, but chose not to? What if I told you that they are already making their products without these dyes for non-US markets? Would you be shocked? […]

I’m not sure who’s brain came up with the TriFest idea, but it’s a good one. During the inaugural TriFest last year, there were Super Sprint, Sprint and Olympic distance races. This year, the “fest” dropped the Super Sprint and was combined with the annual Half-Ironman in Taylorsville. The 2012 TriFest featured Sprint and Olympic […]

My race started around 1:20pm on Friday (a full 42+ hours before the starting horn sounded), when we finally had all of our bags and children loaded into the truck for our 238 mile trek from Louisville to Knoxville.  The trip took us about 5 hours and included a few stops to calm our restless […]
