My race schedule has been different in 2018 than previous years. It has not been littered with triathlons and road running races. This year was a year for me to explore new things and challenge myself. As the year progressed and I found some races I wanted to do, I saw that October was going […]

Spartan Fort Knox Race Report
My website originally started out as a way for me to chronicle my triathlon journeys. After over nine years of training and racing triathlons, I decided that I was ready to venture out and try something new. Lifting weights and staying strong has always been part of my triathlon training, despite knowing that shedding some […]
You Get Out What You Put In
For the last nine years, I’ve “trained” for triathlons. Usually starting in late December or early January, I come up with a plan based on what races I have for the upcoming season. Some years that means I’m building my training for a full (Ironman) distance triathlon. Other years, I might do a half distance […]
Ironman Louisville 2017 Race Report
As I thought about what I was going to say in this race report, I knew that I wanted to approach it from a different direction than those that I’ve done in the past. I felt that this race required more from me mentally than any race I’ve done up to this point. This may […]

Louisville Landsharks Triathlon Race Report
I’ve raced this Olympic Distance triathlon course at Taylorsville Lake many times in the past. It’s a familiar course and one that I actually love to race because there’s no advantage for someone that is very strong in just one of the three disciplines. The swim is in a very calm lake and with it […]
Holistic Hundred 2.0 & 2.1
Last year I created the “Holistic Hundred”. It was a 100-day challenge to eliminate all sugars and grains from my diet and do 100 body-weight exercises every day. I invited people to join me and we ended up having around a dozen people that set the goal to not eat sugar or grains from August […]
Tri Louisville Race Report
I’m going to give a condensed (by my standards) race report, but after that I’m going to go on a bit of a rant about cheating. So, if you don’t care about how my race went, feel free to scroll down to the bottom of this post for the afore mentioned rant.Ok, so here we […]
Healthy Food Swaps
The world of food is confusing. There are conflicting messages everywhere when it comes to what and how much you should eat. I read research and listen to experts talk on podcasts every day and there are still times where I come across contradictory information within a 24-hour period!So what do I do? I just […]
