All about racing
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

The last race on my schedule before the championship races at HyVee and 70.3 Worlds was this past weekend’s Racine 70.3. 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

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
I’m glad I finally got out to do this race because it was a good one. With a huge crowd on course that consisted of a majority of my sponsors – BMC, Skins, ISM, and Shimano – as well as other industry folks, athletes not racing, athletes who were racing but dropped out, and lots

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
Rev3 Branson was my third and final race in a big September of racing. With a lot of fitness still in the bank from the HyVee/Vegas block, it was just a matter of staying sharp in the lead up to my third Rev3 race of the year. With cold air temperatures (45F) greeting us on
Well that went well! Fifth at HyVee and sixth at 70.3 World Champs. Given the fields assembled for both races my goal was top ten in both. Much success! Here is how it went down: Vegas was the focus race, but I’m not at the point in my career where I can turn down a
