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 […]

It was about a week ago today that I finally piled all of my earthly belongings into my car and departed the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center. It was definitely a bittersweet departure – I will miss training in Chula for sure. On the other hand it was starting to get ridiculously hot there (I

It’s tough traveling halfway across the world and coming back with nothing, but overall I’m pretty happy about the way things turned out after crashing:
“Why are you here? That’s so weird!” This statement pretty much sums up the whole experience in Playas, Ecuador last weekend. I suppose if you are a middle-aged Ecuadorian visiting your favorite vacation destination with your family, driving around the Playas downtown area in your Ford Pinto-esque vehicle (with a passenger to seat belt ratio
This was in the Ecuadorian newspaper “El Universo” on Monday. That’s right – kind of a big deal. As expected, the Playas Pan Am Cup was an adventure of a race as only South America can offer. I’ll have a rambling race report up ASAP!
