Last year was my first year participating in The Bourbon Chase. I had heard of the race and it seemed like fun, but I had no idea just how much fun it was! We had a great team last year and I couldn’t wait to do it again. The only potential issue was that due […]

If you are a veteran triathlete, then you understand the title of this post. If you are not, you are probably thinking that I’m referring to coffee or a sushi restaurant. This Saturday, the Ironman World Championship will be held in Kona, a district on the big island of Hawai’i. This is the race that […]

I have a gift certificate to give away to a lucky reader. It’s good for five (5) classes at Pure Barre in The Summitt (aka Paddock Shops), on Brownsboro Road in Louisville. If you are unfamiliar with what Pure Barre is, it’s a studio where a woman can get a total body workout that utilizes […]

I believe it was Aristotle that said “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”. That saying is definitely true for this race. This was my second “destination race” of the 2013 season. The first was Rev3 Knoxville, which you can read about here. That trip was fun for the family, but it […]

My blog has transformed into much more than the training and racing updates that I was doing when I started this four years ago. I now also share lots of insight into my thoughts on eating and over health and wellness. So with this in mind, I’ve decided to change the name and layout of […]

I was up at 4:00am and out the door by 4:30am. I arrived at the race site and checked in to get my athlete packet. Unfortunately, they lost my #28 bib number. So I improvised and cut the bike number sticker and cut some slits in it so I could put it on my race […]

This Sunday I will toe the line for my last Triathlon of the 2013 season. I’m always a little sad when the final race comes around. I will have plenty of running races to occupy my time until the 2014 triathlon season starts, but it’s still a little bitter-sweet. This will be my first time […]

Instead of trying to post all of the video and pictures from the race, I compiled them all into this little video…enjoy. Be sure and visit all of my sponsor’s websites. I sought out these companies because they provide great products and services. Swag’s Sports Shoes Rudy Ellis Sports Medicine Center Garden of Life GreenBEAN […]

As I mentioned in Part 3 of my report, I had a nice boost of energy during the last 10 miles of the bike. I pushed out my fastest splits of the 112 miles, all while holding a steady power and having my heart rate actually decrease slightly. I think I know how and why […]

So I ended Part 2 with me exiting the water after the 2.4 mile swim. My transition time officially started after I got to the top of the steps coming out of the river. There is then a pretty significant run to get to the changing tent. After exiting the water, you run through a […]
