Myself and most of the American team from Mooloolaba spent the past ten days in Noosa, Queensland. It didn’t make sense to come back to the United States before the first race in the 2010 World Championship Series in Sydney so we just stayed over! For those who don’t know, Noosa is a very popular […]
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
A couple days after my last race in Clearwater I took off for a little vacation in Japan. It was pretty fun – three days in Tokyo, three in Kyoto, and then back to Tokyo before coming back to the US. Japan is an amazing country, especially this time of year – it’s Fall there
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

I arrived here in Gold Coast on Saturday after some pretty exhausting travel – 14 hours from L.A. to Sydney is rough! I can’t complain, though, because I have plenty of time to recover since my race is seven days after my arrival! Life is pretty nice on the Gold Coast. My first four days
I’m currently en route to Gold Coast, Australia for the World Championship Series Finale. The last time I was in Australia was for the Mooloolaba World Cup in March. As you can see that was a poor performance – I need to redeem myself in Australia! Yes, I was #17. Oof…

Mark Fretta, Jill Petersen and I went out sightseeing in London the day after the races a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun – It’s not often we get to stay a day later and actually do touristy stuff! Mark Fretta and me in front of Westminster Abbey. If you’re wondering about

I’m currently sitting in West Des Moines, Iowa, awaiting a weekend full of big races. The first is the Hy-vee Elite Cup on Saturday. It is actually a World Cup in terms of ranking points but it gets the special designation of “Elite Cup” because it has such a huge prize purse ($1,000,000). With $200,000

It was about a week ago today that I finally piled all of my earthly belongings into my car and departed the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center. It was definitely a bittersweet departure – I will miss training in Chula for sure. On the other hand it was starting to get ridiculously hot there (I
