Ironman Louisville 2016 will be held on Sunday, October 9th. That is 33 weeks from this past Sunday. That may seem like a long time, but if you want to be ready come race day, the work needs to start now (if it hasn’t already). I’ve completed this race three times in five years and […]

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 […]
Ironman Louisville Race Preview
This Sunday will be my third time racing Ironman Louisville. This year will be different from the previous two in the fact that they race is in mid-October instead of the end of August. This means cooler temperatures and a wet-suit-legal swim. There was some concern about algae blooms forcing the race organizers to cancel […]
Kona Race Preview
While the eyes of Louisville will be on the Ironman race taking place on Sunday, the rest of the triathlon world is eagerly anticipating a race that takes place this Saturday…the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. In fact, since there are no longer pro athletes racing in Ironman Louisville, the race here is unlikely […]
Four Weeks Until Ironman – What Should I Do Now??
Ironman Louisville is October 11th…which is now just under four weeks away. Bib numbers have been issued (I’m # 582) and it’s starting to get real! So what am I going to do over the next four weeks to assure that I am as ready as possible for the race? Hold off on the taper […]
The Great Buckeye Challenge Race Report
I don’t often do races out of town, but it always makes for a fun adventure. These trips usually involve taking the entire family, but since this one was a longer race (Half Ironman), and I knew that it was likely to be hot, I decided to not ask Jessica to suffer in the heat […]
The Great Buckeye Challenge Race Preview
With Ironman Louisville looming in the not-to-distant future (less than 7 weeks), I’m going to test my skills at a Half-Ironman this weekend. With both of the planned local half distance races being cancelled this year, I was left to searching the Inter-webs to try and find a race that wasn’t too close to Ironman […]
