Steelhead 70.3
Saturday, July 31, 2010
It’s been a week since I raced the Steelhead 70.3 up in Benton Harbor/ St. Joe’s, MI, so it’s high time I sat down and scribbled out the old recap. Having watched Amanda race the event last year, I knew I was in for a real treat this time around. We have a really great…
Ironman Coeur d’Alene
Thursday, July 1, 2010
On Sunday June 27, I raced my fifth Ironman Coeur d’Alene up in beautiful North Idaho. After winning the inaugural race in 2003, I had finished in third place three times (‘05, ‘07, ‘08). After Sunday’s race, I managed to punch a trade-marked stamp of authority on the number THREE up there. Yes, I now…
REV3: Quassy
Sunday, June 6, 2010
2010 has been a unique year for me so far. My race season started out early with a trip to Chile to race Pucon 70.3. I was unfit going to that event, but the resulting workout jump-started my early season fitness, and by February I was steadily gaining steam en route to my spring goal…
Change of Plans
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Over the past eleven seasons of racing triathlons as a professional, I have encountered the typical ups and downs that we all go through as athletes. I have raced well, and I have race poorly. I have won races, and I have finished dead last. I have felt unstoppable on race day, and I have…

Four Months!?
Friday, March 12, 2010
How on earth did four months go by without so much as a whisper on my blog? Even after receiving two kicks-in-the-pants from a couple of pals (thanks, Carole D and Cody H!), I have continued to neglect. But now, after viewing my Chief Technical Advisor’s video tutorial on how to blog, manage the…
Tough as Hell
Sunday, November 1, 2009
For just a minute, think what it might be like to sign up for a 10K road race knowing you were going to have to run it with a long tube threaded up your nose, down your throat, and into your stomach. (Yes, a tube reaching from the nostril to…
Ironman Hawaii
Thursday, October 15, 2009
Thinking about this race report for a few days prior to writing it should have afforded me the opportunity to spill out all the details in smooth succession, with picture-perfect detail and eloquent wording. However, I am well aware that what should happen and what does happen do not always line up together. In this…
