Kona Pre-Race

My full race report is still forming itself, and will arrive soon. In the meantime, I present a brief pre-race video for your enjoyment.
Thanks for the support before, during and after the race.
Ironman Hawaii 2010
Saturday, October 9, 2010
Nearly a week after the race, I finally feel as though I’ve had sufficient time to reflect on the way the race played out, and I can now make a clear, less emotional assessment of the Ironman. Granted, I am normally a bit tardy in crafting the race reports, but this time around I intentionally…
Kona Concert Series
Friday, October 1, 2010
For those of you who coming to Kona for Ironman – athletes, spectators, sponsors, family, and friends – take a look at this brand new event on Wednesday evening. If you are looking to get a break from all the race hype, or just need a fun way to unwind, swing by the Sheraton for…
Austin Triathlon
Monday, September 6, 2010
This year there was a change in the August race schedule for the first time since 2004. The change, as you may have noticed, was that I did not race Timberman. In fact, I did not race at all in August, but rather I chose to do some solid Ironman training Boulder-style.
With the guidance…
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
Sunday, June 27, 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…

Trakkers Pro Team Launch: Our Fuel and our Duel
Thursday, April 15, 2010
Many of you have probably heard about this already; in fact, many of you have tweeted about it already. For those of you who have not – and for those of you who do not believe it – the rumors are now confirmed: Team Trakkers has challenged the Trek/Kswiss team to a duel at…
