All about racing
When a double Olympic medalist tells you “the plan” it’s best to pay attention. “Hey Kev, we’re going to cut right immediately – don’t swim on anyone’s hips, just get on feet. We’re going to string this swim out.” So that’s what we did – we cut right and I found myself on Simon’s feet. […]
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

Here is my race report from Sydney (well, it’s actually just a gloss-over as I don’t feel like reliving that race by typing out a long, drawn out report): I came out of the water near the back of a long line of men and immediately made what turned out to be a bad assumption
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

I ran a 10K PR at this past weekend’s Suncoast 10K in St. Petersburg! QOTD from Kaitlin Shiver: “I didn’t see Kevin during the race, but then I realized he was the guy with the squirrel on his face.”

My race in Clearwater this past weekend ran a striking parallel to my 2010 season as a whole: It wasn’t an exceptional result, but it also had some bright spots. It certainly wasn’t what I wanted and I’m sure I am capable of much more. There were some bad patches (in fact the first two
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
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
