I’ll keep this race report fairly simple. I felt good coming into the race, but my times were not what I was hoping for. I didn’t do this race last year, but I did in 2012. My times for the swim, bike and run were all a few seconds slower this time around. I know […]

This Sunday will be the fourth and final race of the Headfirst Performance Shelbyville Sprint Triathlon Series. Instead of doing a typical race preview post, I thought that it might be useful to go over all of the items that I will take to the race. I’m a list maker. I don’t necessarily make lists […]
Why I Love Small Races
The sport of Triathlon continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Most estimates put the growth over the last 15 years at 500%! I’ve only been involved with the sport for five years and I’ve witnessed a boom, especially locally. Our Multisport Club, the Louisville Landsharks has grown from about two dozen members in 2009 […]
Papa Johns 10 Miler & Shelbyville Tri #3 Race Reports
I wasn’t exactly sure how to approach the back-to-back races last weekend. I knew that in order to do as well as possible in the Triathlon, I would need to skip the 10 Miler…BUT I really enjoy running that race…SO I decided to do both. The plan was to run the 10 Miler at a […]
Shelbyville Triathlon #2 Race Report
I’ve done this race a few times in the past. Part of the fun when getting gear together for a race in late February is deciding what to wear. The temperature usually hovers right around freezing this time and year and Sunday was no exception. It was in the high 20’s when the race started […]
Anthem 5K Results
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. […]
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 […]
2013 Season Recap
I haven’t really had a chance to look back at my 2013 calendar year, so I thought I should devote a post to it. I won’t bore you with all of my race results, you can always click on the tab at the top of the page to see results from every race I do. […]
