Despite dealing with 32 degree temperatures and a delayed race start fellow runners were friendly and in great spirits at turkey trot I joined in Maine. Plenty of friends and family were toeing the line. I launched off the front with a pack of guys at aggressive clip but quickly backed off. I ran solo [...]
The Harrisburg Marathon did not disappoint. Yes, I would recommend this logistically simple, well organized, mostly flat (disclaimer: there are tougher hills in the end and they come at a psychologically difficult point ) course with beautiful water views. Years ago I had wondered if I could qualify for Boston. I tried a few times and [...]
This race was awesome and I am really happy! It wasn't perfect by any means but I'm really excited about how I raced through the personal hurdles that unfolded on race day and still managed to have a really good result. The swim has you jump off the docks near the colorful building and swim [...]
I raced four times since moving to Vermont and before IMLOU. I have completed zero race reports on the blog. Apologies! In summary...not including Lou... Hundreds of Acres of Woods... My second week in rural Vermont I heard about a race not too far away. I reached out to the race director (and little did [...]
The first time I did the Robious Landing (No Longer the Tavern) Tri years ago I signed up because I had heard the hype. My first experience here I had to walk my blue Trek road bike up the "big" hill in the middle of the 18 mile ride because it was too steep. People were [...]
The SHORT Race report: Raced Eagleman. Saw Friends. Swam. Biked. Ran. It was hot. Go 3sports. I like Koalas. The end. The Story Going In: Normally during Eagleman weekend I would host a home full of Xterra athletes from New England. We would support them and go out and watch them race but this year [...]
It's been a long time since I have posted. 2016 is looking to be an awesome season and I wish I had been more consistent with the blog. I love keeping a record of all my adventures for me to look back on and I like sharing the journey and tri-life lessons but I simply fell [...]
Running on bike fitness! Since late November all I've really cared about has been my bike power. I've been so focused on cycling that I've only been running two to three times a week and keeping it all light and conversational. However, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to run one of my favorite local [...]
Though I was a bit of a basket case overdosing on zicam and vitamin C paranoid I might catch the office bug before the trip, by the time we arrived in Louisville, I was calm, confident and ready to race. The drive out through West Virginia was gorgeous and upon arrival I felt fitter than [...]
The ironman is a long day. It's a long process of training. However, I know we pour through stories of race day just to get to the best part: The Finish Line. Here's to skipping the meal and going straight for the dessert. I now present, the Ironman Louisville 2015 finish line race [...]
