If you come to triathlon the way most of us do, through running, you might get a big ‘ol smack in the face when you get to the start line of your first triathlon. Sure they chat at the start line, you almost have to since you’re there way longer but the chats are different.... Continue Reading →
In training and in life we're presented with obstacles. Sometimes there's a way around it other times there's no choice to push straight through but often those obstacles turn out to be opportunities when looking back on them. Maybe it forced you to make a positive change (like getting 7 stitches) or forced you to... Continue Reading →
So you want to tackle your first race or a new distance, that’s great! Maybe you’ve already completed one but the whole thing seemed like a disorganized mess or you skipped a lot.

In a 12 week plan like the one I’m using, which has customizations for first timers and those that want to get faster there are about 4 weeks that get a little nutty.... Continue Reading →
Guess what I’ve been saying this year with a lot of dramatic emphasis? “I can’t wait for bikini season this year!” Then I went upstairs and put one on in March just to make my point. Am I a narcissistic, self-involved ass-hole? Maybe, but I really don’t think so. Lots of people are motivated to... Continue Reading →
I run on the road for the most part for a few good reasons and because it's pretty beautiful here too, plus just a little easier. But every time I leave it and head out on the trails it's a great experience too. I'm planning on doing a fair amount of triathlon training on my... Continue Reading →
