Mark Fretta, Jill Petersen and I went out sightseeing in London the day after the races a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun – It’s not often we get to stay a day later and actually do touristy stuff! Mark Fretta and me in front of Westminster Abbey. If you’re wondering about […]

This past weekend marked my fourth time racing in the US Elite National Championship and also my third year in a row racing in Tuscaloosa, AL. I have lots of good memories from Tuscaloosa including winning the Collegiate National Championship in 2007. This year was a bit different in that I got to race on

I raced in London last weekend. It was somewhat of a catastrophe. In retrospect I chose a very bad start position on the pontoon and got beat up pretty bad on the swim. My goal for the swim was to stay very alert and pay attention to closing down gaps so as to stay in
My first World Championship Series race was a success this past weekend in Hamburg. I struggled a bit in the swim but felt strong on the bike and the whole race came together into one big ~40 man pack. My run was solid, too, and I ended up in 23rd place. Also, I came away

I’m currently sitting in West Des Moines, Iowa, awaiting a weekend full of big races. The first is the Hy-vee Elite Cup on Saturday. It is actually a World Cup in terms of ranking points but it gets the special designation of “Elite Cup” because it has such a huge prize purse ($1,000,000). With $200,000

Well I finally made it – I am now a resident athlete at the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center! “Made it” not only in the sense that my days of epic solo road trips are over (Orlando to San Diego in December and San Diego – OK City – Austin – Colorado Springs more recently),
I’m excited to report I placed second in yesterday’s Austin Pan American Cup! Despite a poor swim, I was able to stay in contention on the bike and battled it out for the win with New Zealand’s Callum Millward on the run. It came down to a drag race style sprint in the last 100
