The third race in a four race Sprint Triathlon series takes place this Sunday in Shelbyville, KY. I’ve raced the first two and planned on doing all four…however, a few weeks ago I noticed a wedding on my calendar for Saturday night. Not just any wedding, the nuptials of a good friend of mine, Matt. […]

Official Results: Avg Pace Per Mile: 6:29 Division (M 30-34) Place: 37th out of 465 Gender Place: 171st out of 3678 Overall Place: 192nd out of 8495  This is the first race that both Jessica and I have run. So we had to get the kids to her Mom’s house and get down to the […]

Tomorrow is my first road race of the year. It’s going to be weird for me to just run 5K and then not have to bike and swim…but that means I can leave it all out on the pavement! This will be my 4th year in a row running the Anthem 5K Fitness Classic. Here […]

The errors on T2 and swim times have been corrected (some people were in the wrong age group also). It didn’t change my final placing in my Age Group or Overall, but my transition and swim times moved up in the ranks. Revised Results: 5K Run: 20:51.4  4th out of 7 in Age Group, 12th […]

Forecast all week long called for rain overnight Saturday turning into snow Sunday morning. I never trust forecasts! I woke up Sunday morning and immediately got on the computer to check the radar. Since I do all almost all of my running outside year-round, I like to think that I’m pretty good at reading a […]

This Sunday will be the second of four sprint distance races held in Shelbyville, KY. While it was a little chilly for the first race, the weather was really not a factor. The forecast (depending on who you trust) is calling for temperatures right around freezing Sunday morning and a 30-50% chance of rain/snow overnight […]

The position of your arms while running might not seem important. After all, you run with your legs, right? For me, the only thing that I’ve ever focused on when it comes to my arms was to keep them bent, relaxed and to not cross my centerline. I figured that if I did these three […]

It’s been five months since I had a “race morning”, so it was kind of like learning from scratch. I had everything packed up the night before so that all I needed to do was put my bike rack on my truck, put my bike on it, and go. One problem…my bike rack doesn’t fit […]

It’s January, which is when most triathletes are enjoying their off-season. It’s the perfect time of year to work on your swim stroke and get in some good miles on the bike trainer while watching some movies or sports. For me, it’s the perfect time of year to get back into racing. I haven’t been […]

The two guys that I trust more than anyone else when it comes to the sport of triathlon are Joe Friel and Ben Greenfield. Both are very accomplished coaches and authors and when it comes to endurance training, I consider them to be two of the best resources available. Both Joe and Ben, through their […]
