    one-year

    Well geez, I’m embarrassed to say that we are approaching the midpoint of the year, and I’m doing a pretty lousy job on some of my earlier stated goals for this year.  The specifics of why I haven’t lived up to my goals are relatively unimportant, what’s important is that I failed to make daily …

    The last two weeks have had some big results for a few of my athletes.  Matt ran a PR in the 5k and broke 20 minutes for the first time “since the 90′s”.  Nick blasted out a massive PR at 10k (3+ minutes) to finish second in the first race of the local Winter Running Series.  Finally – Kendrick had a huge PR at …

    It’s that time of year again – how did my triathlon season go? As a whole it went very good.  There are parts of it that I’m not happy with and parts that I am happy with.

    Training: with the addition of a 2 year old to my family in April – there was a strong possibility that I would have issues doing the …

    Pre-Race:

    After a pair of major breakthroughs at Kona and IMAZ last year, I set some admittedly lofty goals for myself this year at Kona. One of those goals was to finish in the top 5 in my Age Group; I figured a performance along the lines of IMAZ would put me in strong contention for this.

    We arrived on …

    I'll post my race report shortly, but the long story short race report is such:  Race week was magical and glittery.  The few short efforts on the bike and run were a piece of cake.  My typical pre-race 1,000 for time on Monday was crazy – 11:17 @ 1,000 SCY and 12:25 @ 1,100 SCY (basically 1,000 SCM).  That all …

    While I’ve been pretty quiet about it, for the past year or so in addition to being a triathlete I’ve jumped into the role of triathlon coach.

    With some of the recent results my athletes have experienced I felt it high time to brag a little:

    A few weeks back Michele knocked out a 4th place in the W50-54 at Ironman NYC …

    Well with Ironman CDA (race report here) in the books, along with a week of vacation to Glacier National park – it’s time for the next phase of 2012.

    Phase 1 was primarily focused on improving my run significantly, which I think I’ve done.  Phase 2 is about building up some monster bike fitness to have a great race in …

    IMCDA 2012 was a first-of-a-kind race for me, in that it was an Ironman that I didn’t need to worry about focusing on qualifying for Hawaii - I already had a slot tied up. This gave me the unique opportunity to approach this race differently both in terms of training and execution - most importantly, I would be able to …

    Hi again!

    Now that the Triple T has come and gone, I can say that the 2012 triathlon (race) season is officially underway, and thus far it has been a grand success.  I managed to have a great weekend of racing at the TTT, doing it as a Solo for the first time since 2006.

    The next race on the docket will either be Lake …
