All about training
Last week I set off from the cold, snowy north in search of a warmer climate to spend the winter months, the destination being central Florida and Jarrod Shoemaker’s training group. My plan was to stop to visit a few friends in Texas on the way and get in some training while also breaking up […]

That’s right – 600 days until London! That’s still a long way off, though…maybe it seems closer because the first US Olympic selection race is less than eight months away. I certainly have a lot of work to do if I plan to get a top nine finish in London next August, but all I
It’s been awhile since my last post, but to be honest absolutely NOTHING of note happened to me since I arrived home from Mexico three weeks ago. However, with only four days to go until my last race of the season – Ironman 70.3 World Champs – I figured I should at least get a

I recently wrote an article for Team Evotri about what a day in the life of an Olympic training center resident athlete is like. Check it out: Day in the life article
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
A couple of posts ago I mentioned that my coach and I scrambled to make alternate race schedules as it appeared my start spots at the first World Championship Series races of 2010 were in jeopardy. Since that post I received a few questions about my coaching situation and I realized I have failed to
