I love the Olympics. As I typed that I was reminded that last night at dinner my family and I were having a discussion about how “love” is a emotion that is shared with other living things and not a food or object…so let’s just day that I “really like” the Olympics. As I was […]

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 […]
Mohican Endurance Festival Half Triathon Race Report
Just six days after racing Tri Louisville on a bum ankle, I was in the car with my friend Aaron on our way to Perrysville Ohio to race the Mohican Endurance Festival Triathlon. With a new addition due in mid-August, I wanted to find another Half distance triathlon to fit into my 2016 race schedule. […]
Racing Injured – Tri Louisville Triathlon Race Report
You know the type. That person that’s dead-set on doing something no matter what. When it comes to racing, I unfortunately fall into this category. So when I sprain my ankle pretty badly three days before the Tri Louisville race, I knew in the back of my mind that I would still try and do […]

My Minimalist Approach to Marathon Training – 2016 KDF Marathon Race Report
Since January 1st, I’ve averaged just 17.2 miles run per week. Most marathon training plans call for at least double that. The average time each week that I spent out pounding the pavement was only 2.3 hours. I also only had one “long” run, which was 18 miles. This Runner’s World article recommends 100-140 miles […]
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 […]
