Apologies to anyone who regularly visits this site (mom?) for having to look at that awful picture of my severely swollen ankle that I posted back in October. Fortunately my ankle no longer looks like that. Here is a more pleasing picture featuring Otay Lake and the mountains surrounding my current training location in Chula […]
After breaking my ankle a couple of weeks ago I obviously had to close the books on the 2013 season. I was out for a morning jog in Orlando and tripped over a curb, turning my ankle pretty bad in the process. The final verdict was that I tore a ligament away from the bone

My second place at St. George certainly generated a lot of different reactions – long time supporters congratulated me, old friends contacted me with nice messages, others still said “Kevin who?” But I’m sure not everyone was convinced, and to a certain extent I was part of this group. For me Florida 70.3 became the
Saturday in St. George marks the most times I’ve ever been called “Andy” in one day. “Go Andy!!!” screamed gaggles of aid station volunteers as I ran by. “So what IS your name?” my lead cyclist finally asked. “Kevin.” I said – easy enough to get out two syllables. “His name is Kevin!” she said
