I can now say that I’ve participated in “The largest gravel road bicycle race in the world”. At least according the the Barry-Roubaix race website. With 3,500 riders, I believe it! When I won a gift certificate to VO2 Multisport last spring, I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do with it. My triathlon […]

2016 Shelbyville Triathlon Race Series Report
I’ve been doing at least one or two of the Winter Shelbyville Sprint Triathlons for the last six years. The races are a great way to kick off the season and I always enjoy the competitiveness and supporting Headfirst Performance races. These early-season races also have an extra element of excitement…the weather! Depending on the […]
2016 Shelbyville Triathlon #2 Race Report
As strange as it sounds, I was very disappointed as I pulled away from Clear Creek Park yesterday. On the surface, it wouldn’t make much sense to feel disappointment after a race where I finished 1st in my Age Group and 5th Overall. But a small mechanical issue with my bike had my thoughts going […]
Beginner Triathlete Tips
Tomorrow is the first of three Sprint Triathlons in Shelbyville put on by Headfirst Performance. These races are well suited for first timers as they are short, the swim is in a pool and there are not thousands of other athletes to contend with. I did my first triathlon in 2008 and I had no […]

Plastic Water Bottles – Is It Ok To Reuse Them?
I hope that everyone knows the importance of drinking water. Whether you are an athlete out on a long run or ride or just someone that knows the benefits of sipping on water all day, what you drink out of is important. If you’re refilling a disposable water bottle that isn’t really meant to be […]
My 2015 Ironman Louisville Race Video
Best Moment of My 2015 Season…
You would think that setting a 23 minute personal best at Ironman Louisville would be the highlight of my 2015 race season, but that was a distant second to the race I did back in August in tandem with the special needs athletes from The Kids Center. You can read my race report from this […]
Ironman Louisville Race Report
Unlike my previous Ironman Race Reports (2011 & 2013), I’m going to keep this one to a single post. I had my alarm set for 3:30AM on race morning, but I woke up at 3:10 and had to pee. So at that point, I just decided to get me day started. I ate a medium […]
