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.

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 […]

Ironman Louisville is 33 Weeks Away
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 […]

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 […]
