I just arrived back in Colorado Springs after a two month hiatus from the training center and I’m currently in the middle of week five of base training for the 2010 season. I have no plans to go anywhere warm for base training, the theory being that I do very well training at altitude. My […]

I finally put together a race schedule for next year! Not that it was that hard – the focus is on the World Championship Series and starting out the 2012 Olympic qualifying process. Starting June 1st any World Championship, World Cup, or Continental Championship (and maybe a few other events as well) will score Olympic
It turns out my sprint finish with Luke Bell was fairly well documented by the race photo company. My favorites are when I fall on the finish line photographers because they decided that 10 feet past the finish line was a safe place to be. http://www.asiorders.com/view_user_event.asp?EVENTID=47952&BIB=79

A couple days after my last race in Clearwater I took off for a little vacation in Japan. It was pretty fun – three days in Tokyo, three in Kyoto, and then back to Tokyo before coming back to the US. Japan is an amazing country, especially this time of year – it’s Fall there
The 2009 racing season is finally over and I definitely ended it on a high note. Things went better than I ever expected during my October altitude training block – I definitely learned a lot about training and how to get myself ready to race. Here are some pics. My primary November race was the

Not awesome, though, is the complete lack of races in North America. Looks like I’ll be spending a lot of time in Europe next summer!

After three months of racing approximately every other weekend it’s finally time for a training block! I’m back home in Colorado and putting in a good 30 day altitude training block to get ready for November racing. Being from Florida, however, the concept of ‘seasons’ is new to me so last weekend’s snow was definitely
A few days after returning from Australia I flew back to Florida to visit home. It was a great way to unwind after all the traveling and racing of late! While I was down there I helped out at the Kids4Kids youth triathlon clinic in Gainesville, FL (in conjunction with the Kids4Kids Triathlon that happened

I arrived home from Gold Coast on Monday and as I write this I feel like falling asleep for the next eight hours. It’s 12 PM. I woke up at 2:30 AM again this morning and that’s the third time this week. And I might be coming down with a cold or something. Yes, jet
I arrived here in Gold Coast on Saturday after some pretty exhausting travel – 14 hours from L.A. to Sydney is rough! I can’t complain, though, because I have plenty of time to recover since my race is seven days after my arrival! Life is pretty nice on the Gold Coast. My first four days
