Well, this was the race that almost didn’t happen. It wasn’t on my schedule, there was no build for it, and with roughly a week to go I still wasn’t registered for it. But, make no mistake, I still came to race. This wasn’t just a show up and play around. Raleigh was going to […]
I initially sat down to write my race recap two days post-Boston. It’s now going on two weeks and I’m finally getting back to it. I’ll keep the recap short and sweet. After all, this is about racing and training. You’ve heard it all over before, but Boston 2018 was truly an epic and unforgettable […]
“Somewhere, someone in the world is training when you are not. When you meet [him/her, he/she] will win.” – you know who said that! Does this mean that you always must be physically training in your sport of choice? Or is there something more to training? What goes into bringing your best for a race […]
Usually I’m not this far behind, but I finally have a chance to sit down, think for a few minutes, and put together a race write up on Ironman Arizona. Since I know this will be quite the page turner, I’ll give a brief summary, some lessons learned, and then move on to the full […]
Well, laying on the floor icing my bike seems like an appropriate time to bring in the update on race 3 – NYC Triathlon. This race was like no other race, mostly because I was done and hanging out by 8:10am which was just crazy. I had a chance to see my friend and coach, […]

Over roughly the last 8 years, I had the opportunity to coach with and learn from a leading figure in the running world. What struck me the most about Tom Fleming was his passion to see everyone succeed. Talent is nice, but passion, dedication, and commitment are the keys to success. Yesterday was the NJ […]
Well, better late than never for a race recap. Rather than reviewing the race itself, there are some key takeaways I’d like to share. Before I get into it though, I have to give a huge shoutout to my sponsors for making this race and the season happen. I couldn’t have done it without you. […]
As the heat and humidity of August really creep up these days, it’s a good time to think about staying hydrated during activities. When we sweat, we loose water as well as salt. Losing sodium affects an individual’s ability to sustain high levels of performance. There are ways several ways to address sodium needs during […]
Heading into the race, the main concern I had was the heat and how to prepare for it. I sweat a lot and that can be a problem in the heat and dealing with muscle cramps. This season, I’ve been working with Nicci at Elevate by Nicci and, in short, she’s nailed it. My body burns […]
