So I have a beard. This isn’t to say it’s a great beard. In fact it’s probably only a step away from “patchy facial hair,” but I think it just barely squeezes by the threshold of beard status. I started growing the beard on the first day of training for 2011, so I started calling […]
As you might expect I will be flying out soon to spend Christmas with my family, but unlike most I won’t be going home. No, instead the Collingtons are going to the most dangerous region on earth (not including active war zones of course). It should be a good time! My brother works as a

Oh hi. It’s been awhile but I’m back to blogging for 2009. Thanks for reading! So what’s new in the world of Kevin Collington? I know everyone is just dying to know. First off, I moved! I managed to acquire full-time Olympic Training Center ‘resident’ status for 2009 so I packed up and left Florida
Or, How I Ended Up in Kenya 45 Hours Later As I mentioned previously the San Francisco Triathlon at Treasure Island was a pretty good race for me. Yes, my run wasn’t nearly as it dominant as it has been throughout the year, and I know my ninth place finish might not look like anything

I was going to fly back to Florida this week but not anymore (not that I’m complaining!). The only problem is that I’m racing the Chicago Triathlon this weekend and I was going home to get race wheels! Tropical Storm Fay So, in the mean time the Olympic Training Center was nice enough to give
