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 […]

It’s kind of fun to see where I stack up against the rest of the county. Every year the USAT comes out with their rankings.

My Off-Season

An In-Depth Look At My Ironman Run
In my last post, I covered the 112 mile bike leg of my 2013 Ironman Louisville race. This post will be devoted to the 26.2 mile run. The whole reason I rode within a strict range of power was so that my legs would be in good enough shape to run a marathon. It was […]
