This Saturday I will compete in the Cardinal Triathlon for the third time…yet this will be the first time I’ve done this race. Confused? So am I.  Every July, Headfirst Performance puts on a Half-Ironman in the Louisville area. For a long time, this race was know as the Cardinal Harbour Triathlon, because it started […]

With less than two months until Ironman Louisville, my workouts have really ramped up in intensity and frequency. I’m also now scattering in one or two long runs/rides once a month. If you’ve asked me how my training is going, I’ve no doubt told you that I’m going with a non-typical approach to Ironman training […]

I devote a decent amount of posts on this blog to telling readers about what NOT to eat. I’ve done posts on how to frind what’s hidden on nutrition labels, the dangers of eating saturated fats, bread, fast food, artificial sweeteners, throwing out processed food, why you shouldn’t drink diet soda, why food dyes are […]

I’m a big believer in getting vitamins and nutrients through the food you eat. This guarantees that they are in their most natural form and easiest for the human body to breakdown and use. However, I also realize that it’s not easy to eat in a way to make this happen. This is where supplements […]

The last time I had a real in-depth analysis of my swim stroke was back in December of 2011. I wrote a post back then describing some of the glaring flaws in my swim technique. I figured that it was time to have an expert take a look at my swimming and tell me how […]

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. […]
