Over the last few years, racing has become one of my favorite things to do. It’s competitive, it’s active, it’s fun and every once in a while, you come away from an event with an embarrassing story or two. For some reason, this happens to me more often than not when I race. Here’s a few you may or may not have heard before. — [...]

…and the day after that, and the day after that, and…well you get the picture. Want to start being healthier? It’s pretty simple. Drink More Water Get a pitcher of water. Drink it. Fill it back up. Drink it again. Repeat. Do this as much as you can. You’d be surprised at what common problems (headaches, colds, etc) are caused [...]

You should do a triathlon this year. That’s my professional opinion. Sure, we’re a few days late in to your new years resolutions, but you should do it anyways. Add it to your list and make it happen. This year. 2012. Do it. Why Should You Do A Triathlon? Personally, triathlon has been one of the most helpful things I’ve ever [...]

The Sylvania Triathlon After my last race, I needed to bounce back in a big way. I was disappointed because I knew I could do better than I had. And I knew that I was stepping it up in a big way this week. I was doing my first Olympic distance race of the year and I was meeting Johnny B [...]

They’re not quite ready to share, but sometimes when working on projects, I start and stop and start again, but little things come up that threaten to stop them from happening.

Every once in a while, I’ll have a race that doesn’t go as planned. This race this past weekend was one of those. I woke up late for the race. I didn’t have directions to it. My bike got stuck in 2nd gear for half the race. I didn’t run a decent pace at all. At the end, I crossed [...]

I ran my second triathlon of the season this past weekend. This course was the Valpo Triathlon, the same course where I did my very first triathlon last year. When I ran this race last year, I never really conceptualized all the things I would go on to do. Another sprint tri, an olympic triathlon, a half marathon, a full marathon. When did [...]

Triathlons are expensive! I hear that a lot.  And triathlons definitely can be. When you see professional triathletes decked out in gear and apparel that looks as foreign and expensive as a space suit, it can be intimidating. But, with most things, money is very seldom a good excuse for not doing something cool. If you really want to do something, [...]

I want you to sign up for a triathlon today. It’s spring time, the sun is starting to come out and you can finally emerge from the cave you’ve been hibernating in for the last 6 months. It’s time to dust off that that bike, grab those goggles and dig out that running gear. Let’s sign you up for a [...]
