I had a total of 38 blog posts in 2014 and I thought it would be interesting to look back and see which one’s were the most popular – based on number of page views. So here we go… #3 – Papa John’s 10 Miler and Shelbyville Tri #3 Race Reports (March 28th) – There […]

RSS feed for this sectionReviewing My 2014 Race Season
My 2104 race season is over (technically it has been for a few months), but it’s now the time of year when I like to look back and review my races. My training for 2015 won’t start up sometime after the beginning of the year, so I use this time of year to analyze this […]
Understanding Bike Gears
When I first became involved in triathlon, I purchased a road bike. I hopped on and as I expected, I was able to ride it even though it had been several years since I had been on one. It took a few rides to figure out how to shift gears. The shifters were on the […]
Louisville Landsharks Triathlon Race Report
I’ve been involved with the Kids Center for Pediatric Therapies for for over 5 years now. Since the first time that I set foot in that place, I’ve been inspired and wanted to help. Something that has been on my radar for the last few years was doing a triathlon in tandem with a disabled […]
Louisville Landsharks Triathlon Race Preview
What is a Louisville Landshark? If you are not familiar with the local multisport club, let me tell you a little about it. Once a small group of less than 20 athletes, the club now hovers around the 300 mark. The club has lots of group activities that not only involve swimming, biking and running, […]
Buffalo Trails Triathlon Race Report
I was really excited to load up the truck and hit the road with my three year old son Adrian on Friday afternoon. We make the 140 mile trip from Louisville to Maysville in around three hours. We arrived a little after four o’clock and went down to pick up my race packet. We then […]
Buffalo Trails Triathlon – Race Preview
The Buffalo Trails Triathlon takes place in the beautiful and historical areas of Maysville and Mason County, Kentucky. I was curious as to why they call this race, the “Buffalo Trails” Triathlon, so I did a little investigating. Before European settlement, herds of Buffalo migrated along a route which passed through the Maysville area from Ohio, […]
It’s Ironman Louisville Week!
Although I am not racing this year, it’s still an exciting time for the sport I love in the city I love. This will be the 8th year for the annual triathlon and the end (kind of) to the tradition. Starting next year, the race will be moved from the end of August to the […]
USA Triathlon Nationals Race Report
Several years ago I was chatting with a guy at the gym (called Gold’s Gym at the time, I think it’s LA Fitness now). I told him that I did triathlons and he asked if I was doing the National Championships. At the time, this seemed ridiculous to me. I had only been in the […]
USA Triathlon Nationals Race Preview
I’ve always wanted to race in the Age Group National Championship, and I’ve actually qualified for it the last three years. In 2012 the race was in Connecticut and was just too far to drive. Last year it was close enough to drive (Milwaukee), but I was doing Ironman Louisville at the end of August […]
