All about racing
Well I’m back from Australia and after a whirlwind of jet lag, taxes, and trying to organize all of the new gear I got from Shimano, Orbea and Rudy Project I finally have some time to blog! If nothing else the races in Mooloolaba and Sydney gave me a big list of things to work […]
Finally – internet in Australia! Despite being a fully modern country getting on the interwebs has been a huge issue. I am very happy with my ninth place finish, although I would describe my swim, bike and T2 as ‘technically unsound.’ Getting ninth with the sixth fastest run isn’t a great statistic! Felt good on
The 2010 season is here! I know this because I just got back to Florida after a 70 day altitude training block and I’m now doing RACE PREP TRAINING!! My first race is in 15 days in Mooloolaba, Australia. I can’t wait to get back down under and hopefully have a better showing than I
I’m really excited to announce that I will be riding Orbea bikes in 2010! The 2010 Orca. I know what you’re thinking – you’re thinking, “Hey, didn’t you ride Orbea bikes last year and also the year before?” Yes I did, but this year I will be on brand new Orbeas since I am now

I just confirmed that I will be racing a few French Grand Prix races next year for the French club Poissy. For those who don’t know what a French Grand Prix race entails, it is a sprint distance draft legal race. A few Americans have raced in the FGP over the years and report that
I finally put together a race schedule for next year! Not that it was that hard – the focus is on the World Championship Series and starting out the 2012 Olympic qualifying process. Starting June 1st any World Championship, World Cup, or Continental Championship (and maybe a few other events as well) will score Olympic

The 2009 racing season is finally over and I definitely ended it on a high note. Things went better than I ever expected during my October altitude training block – I definitely learned a lot about training and how to get myself ready to race. Here are some pics. My primary November race was the
In case you haven’t already seen it, check out the 2010 World Championship Series schedule. With Sydney, Seoul and Budapest being added for 2010 it should be pretty awesome. Not awesome, though, is the complete lack of races in North America. Looks like I’ll be spending a lot of time in Europe next summer!
