I started writing this when it was still winter, but here it is April 22nd and I am just now finishing. So here is my winter update…in the spring. The big news from me is that Lindsey and I moved permanently to Boulder, CO in February. Lindsey and her previous coach, Margie Shapiro, decided to […]

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

My life on the road continues. I stayed in Boulder long enough to adapt to altitude and learn that it’s best to pay with cash at Amante and then it was back in the car and off to Paulo Sousa‘s training camp in St. George, UT. This was certainly not in my plans when I

I definitely didn’t know what I was in for on my trip out to Boulder for summer training. It all started with a short trip to Gainesville, a group ride, and a new 30″ CP followed by a surprisingly delicious Yuengling.

After two plane rides and a drive through the Guatemalan highlands only a boat ride to the hotel remained. We stayed at the Casa Del Mundo on Lake Atitlan. As you can see it is built into the side of a cliff. It’s a pretty cool place! Not your typical Christmas morning. A little open

As you might expect I will be flying out soon to spend Christmas with my family, but unlike most I won’t be going home. No, instead the Collingtons are going to the most dangerous region on earth (not including active war zones of course). It should be a good time! My brother works as a

I grabbed my first win of the season yesterday – at the First Coast Kids Triathlon in Jacksonville! Actually, since I was around in Florida for some sea level training and St. Anthony’s (kind of) before Seoul I made my way up to Jacksonville to help out and be a ‘celebrity big kid’ for the

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
