I tried all week to put up a meaningful blog post about my race last weekend in NYC but it just isn’t going to happen. I’m currently in Colorado Springs training with the Squad and training is so hard that putting together words into sentences into paragraphs is a bit beyond my mental capacity right […]
I take it I’ve told you about my condition? Plantar fasciitis…in both of my feet. But I’m happy to report that the injury subsided and I made a happy return to racing this past weekend, placing eighth in the San Francisco Pan American Cup! I was nowhere near race-ready, but I was newly race-able, so

My life on the road continues. I stayed in Boulder long enough to adapt to altitude and learn that it’s best to pay with cash at Amante and then it was back in the car and off to Paulo Sousa‘s training camp in St. George, UT. This was certainly not in my plans when I

Long ago I theorized on Twitter that when an athlete is injured he or she will generally not blog for the duration of the problem. Being a regular reader of many athlete’s blogs I noticed that sometimes a normally routine blogger would go months without an update. What am I supposed to read with my

I was specifically in the Carindale/Carina region training with a little triathlon squad coached by Warwick Dalziel, a friend of my coach. Things were pretty nice, especially since my training really just consisted of resting a lot to recover
After 1.5K of ocean swimming, 40K of cycling and 9.7K of running with 74 of my best amigos, the title of this post is what I yelled at the six ITU delegates standing on the side of the road in Mooloolaba. You see, I take things very literally, and if you call something the “penalty

The race this past weekend blended so well into my normal routine that I almost forgot to post about it! Other than acting as a homestay for Barrett Brandon and his wife Lauren, as well as Greg “the Future of Triathlon” Billington, I didn’t stray too far from the norm. Anyways, the race took place

Did some 200m repeats last Thursday. A text from coach reads: “Arms are too long and feet too inactive.” Felt pretty active at the time! Video credit: Marc Bonnet-Eymard More of them tomorrow! The beard is gone.
