All about racing
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 […]

The Boulder Peak Triathlon wasn’t a great result for me but it did serve its purpose. First, I’m confirmed with a start for the HyVee Elite Cup on September 1st. I get to compete for a share of the million dollar, er, $500,000 prize purse! Second, it showed me I really need to do some
First, Rev3 Williamsburg: It’s been two weeks since this race happened and I’m just getting around to posting about it, so as you might imagine it was a disappointing race. I had an OK swim, exiting the water a minute down from Kyle Leto and eventual race winner Eric Limkemann. In the first few miles

I came into Rev3 Quassy thinking I already raced the hardest half distance course on my race schedule at St. George. But I was wrong. Quassy is definitely a more difficult course. The cycling courses are comparable but the run course is where Rev3 ups the ante. St. George ran us up Red Hills Pkwy,
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

I finally got some finish pictures so it’s time to post about last weekend’s Kemah Triathlon. Yes, I won. Yes, it was an aquathlon (swim-run). Flooding on the bike course or something… that makes two races in a row modified due to weather. So effectively I packed my bike up, hauled it to the airport,
A little behind the scenes video I made from this past weekend’s FAST Triathlon in Arraial do Cabo, Brazil. My first attempt at a video, enjoy! FAST Tri 2013 Behind The Scenes with Team USA from Kevin Collington on Vimeo.

Duathlons hurt. A lot. I only have two data points, the other being the 2008 San Francisco Conti Cup turned 5K-40K-10K (where I spent the evening post-race curled into the fetal position on the floor). Rev3 Venice was equally painful, and this picture says it all: Why am I sitting in this chair? Because I

I gave the half-iron distance another shot this past weekend at Rev3 Anderson and came away with fifth. The highlight of the day was seeing some good numbers on the bike and getting away with a select group near the end of the ride. However, seeing the times that Starky and Collins rode…I still have
