All I can say after racing in this past weekend’s PATCO Championship is thank goodness for ‘test’ events!! The race effectively served as a test for next year’s Pan Am Games (Guadalajara 2011). As major games go Pan Am Games is second only to the Olympics in terms of importance and prestige. As such, I […]
My last ITU race of the 2010 season is coming up this weekend with the PATCO Pan American Championship in Puerto Vallarta. I’m especially excited to race since it is a preview of next year’s Pan Am Games course, but not so excited to go to the country of Mexico. It could have been worse:
I raced the Elite National Championship this past weekend in Tuscaloosa and placed eighth. I’m going to be honest: eighth place is not what I was looking for, but I definitely didn’t taper for the race so I got what I deserved in terms of performance. The good news is that ever since arriving home
With the 2010 WCS season now in the rear view mirror most athletes are heading out on a vacation of some sort (or a holiday if you’re from Britain). But not me! With the Pan American Continental Championship still ahead on October 17th most athletes in the western hemisphere are probably continuing their seasons. Here

I think I am finally done updating my website. Yes, it took me almost three weeks to do a very minimal amount of work – menial tasks are hard during peak training/racing season! In addition to the new look I also updated the “about me” section and added previous year’s results all the way back
Two years, three months and 30 days later here it is: my 100th blog post! I’m celebrating with a complete redesign to my whole website. Thanks to everyone that comes here to follow the exploits of my life as a professional triathlete – there will certainly be more to come!
I’m not going to get into too many specifics about my race in London as it was another not-so-good result, but I can say that at least I made it to the run this year! The field in London this past weekend was loaded with talent and I simply wasn’t prepared for the intensity of
Things went decently well in Hamburg this past weekend. My only complaint is that my efforts only netted a 37th place. I swam well – I was pleasantly surprised to see names like Docherty, Ben “I only packed one shirt for this trip” Collins and Mark “I own a hamster named Hunter Kemper” Fretta in
