This post is related to the fact that: 1) I have moved and live in Houston now and 2) I now workout at Lifetime Fitness. Woohoo. Sometimes going to new gyms can be overwhelming, intimidating, or even upsetting. It is human for us to never be welcoming to "change". In my perspective, this concept can even be related to the places we work-out at and thus, trying to get use to new gyms! Think a... Read More

This weekend I raced in the Bath County Sprint Triathlon (my 18th triathlon) at Lake Moomaw near the Homestead Resort. To get there, you drive up a mountain, along a twisty, switchback road with no cell service ( or 3G...ACK !) through beautiful National Forest and rural farmlands. Then the name of the road suddenly change to “Sam Snead Highway” and golf greens and cart paths line both sides for... Read More

OK, it wasn't a training camp per se, it was an eagerly anticipated visit with my sister and her family in the tranquil western suburbs along Lake Erie. But why not capitalize on a change of venue to swim/bike/run in a different place? At age 22, my nephew Evan has completed two respectable iron-distance races and I've longed for the opportunity to bike with him. Things just fell into place for th... Read More

This race has to be one of my favorites. I started doing it 3 years ago and have done it every year since as a kickoff to my triathlon season. The race is kind of unique as it is generally more of a family oriented/ first timers race but it is super competitive at the front of the race. Going into the race I knew I was racing against a stacked field, so I was prepared to find out just how well ... Read More

It's close to home and the local tri community turns out to race, volunteer, or watch and cheer making it a very nice event for newer triathletes and kids especially. A tremendous amount of work goes into putting on this triathlon and I expect it to continue to grow and draw more participants. It was the mai... Read More

1 Minute, 60 seconds, 60,000 milliseconds. It’s the amount of time it takes to heat up food for lunch in a microwave; it was the difference between winning the men’s ITU San Diego race a few weeks ago, and missing the US Olympic team all together. It’s the difference between a 16:59 official Ironman finish, and an official DNF. It can be the difference between buying a winning and losing lotto ... Read More

Last week I posted my race report from 5 years ago when I did my first Duathlon. I raced the exact same race this year and while I finished faster my placing in the overall standings actually only increased by 5 places. The difference is this year the talent at the start line was much greater! We had the 2011 Duathlon age group world champion and the 2011 Team Timex athlete of the year show up ... Read More

I've been asked a few times what it means to be part of the Endurance Films Racing Team. I detect skepticism about the "team" part. I can attest the sense of “team” is real and it has become increasingly important and valuable to me. We are a pretty diverse group but representative of Age Groupers. We are spread out across the country from coast to coast; we range in age from early 20's to late 5... Read More
