If all goes as planned, exactly a week from when I’m typing this, I will be starting the run portion of Ironman Louisville 2017. This will be my fourth time toeing the line of my hometown long-course triathlon. The question has come up more this season than in any of the previous three…”why”. Why do […]

Landsharks Triathlon Race Report
This is a first for me…a race report from a race that I didn’t participate in. Despite not wearing a bib number or crossing the finish line, the 2016 Landsharks Triathlon will be a race that I will always remember. It was the first race where I was able to pair up a special needs […]

Since January 1st, I’ve averaged just 17.2 miles run per week. Most marathon training plans call for at least double that.

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 […]
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 […]
Challenge Knoxville Race Report
My typical race reports consist of lots of words and a few pictures. Since I came away with so many good pictures this time, I’m going to flip the script and show you lots of pictures with just a few words to describe each. So here we go… The race venue in Knoxville, Tennessee is […]
