Lots of firsts this past weekend at Monterrey 70.3 – my first race of the 2015 season, my first 70.3 in Mexico, and my first race under the direction of Matt Dixon AKA purplepatch. The only first that didn’t come my way was in the race itself where I came in 2nd to Tim Don. […]
In case you missed it, I went to Phuket, Thailand for my last race of the season. Why did I go all the way over there to race? Do I miss the long haul flights to obscure destinations from my ITU racing days? Perhaps I misunderstood the location and thought I was going to Laguna

I pulled off a second place finish this past weekend at Austin 70.3. Between the swim and bike Chris Kemp and I gained 4.5 minutes on the rest of the field going out onto the run, but Chris had the better run legs on the day. Only one more race left this season – Challenge
I won something! It feels great to finally get a W at a half-distance race, or any triathlon race at all for that matter, as my last professional win was over five years ago at the Playas Continental Cup in Ecuador (2009). Lots of second places, thirds, fifths, and sixths, and yes there is the
For the second year in a row my big “A” races for the year were HyVee and 70.3 World Champs, once again on back-to-back weekends. How did it go? HyVee was great! 70.3 World Champs was not so great. HyVee: I swam well, notched myself into “the group,” zig-zagged my way to the front and

There isn’t much to say about the race itself – basically it was the Lionel Sanders and Andrew Starykowicz show. Starky swam front pack and then used his massive watts to put 8.5 minutes
I raced the Boulder Peak Tri last weekend hoping to grab a spot for the HyVee 5150 Championship next month. That wasn’t a lofty goal, though, since I was ranked sixth on the HyVee points ranking leading into the race and just had to finish in order to qualify. But really I wanted to improve
“Kevin is so smooth he makes olive oil look rough.” – Tim Don I should just end the blog right there, because what can I say that is going to be better than that?! Nothing. Nothing will be better. So read on if you dare, but trust me, it goes downhill from here. First of

Well it almost happened – somebody almost beat Jan Frodeno. All the credit for the pace on the bike goes to Joe Gambles who set a hot enough pace to drop the gold medalist up and over Snow Canyon. I’m not sure if Jan was riding a wattage cap or just couldn’t hang, but the
Much more outdoor training this year compared to last. It was downright hot last month. Not a bad view from the Boulder Mountain Compound. Training days are very much affected by Lindsey’s location. +8 hrs to South Africa. Guaranteed post training naps in convenient pancake form. The upstairs neighbor is a bit nosy.
