Compared to most of my race reports, this one is going to be very brief. I like these small, reverse-order, sprint distance races because it is truly is a race. We all start at the same time and if you pay attention and are good at counting, you can find out your position at any […]

Why You Should Stop Using R.I.C.E. To Heal An Injury
I can’t remember the first time that I heard the acronym R.I.C.E. I’m sure it was at some point during elementary school when I suffered an injury. The prescription was simple. The ‘R’ stood for Rest, the ‘I’ for Ice, the ‘C’ for Compression and the ‘E’ for Elevate. I can tell you that my […]
2016 Ironman World Championship Race Preview
This Saturday, a new World Champion will be crowned in Kona, Hawai’i. After qualification and some recent withdraws, as of right now, there will be 59 pro men and 44 pro women chasing the title. I like to make prediction each year before the race. I’ve actually had some luck picking in the past, so […]
My Favorite Summer Olympic Moments
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 […]

Thanks to everyone that filled out the survey. I look forward to reviewing the responses and tailoring my future content to meet your needs.

Rev3 Knoxville Half Race Report
Driving to Knoxville in May has become a family tradition. This is the fifth year in a row that we’ve piled the family into the Tahoe and made the journey from Louisville to Knoxville. The first year we went, we just had an almost 3 year old and a 16 month old. This year we […]
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 […]
