This was my second year competing in the Boulder Tri. Last year I did the Olympic distance, finishing in my standard 4th place. This year they added “The Beast” which was a long course option. It’s just shy of a Half IRONMAN distance. I was excited when this option was made available as I like…
I’ve not had the best luck with sprint triathlons. So I was not sure what to what to expect at the Lookout Mountain Triathlon. This race was unique as it’s a pool swim for only 525 yards. My friend Adam, that I’ve know since junior high, had done this race in the past and encouraged me to…
This is the third year that I’ve compete in the Boulder Sunrise Triathlon. I’m not sure what my expectations were going into this race. The past two years I had finished in 3rd place. So I really wanted to move up and podium. In the week leading up to the race, I had let my…
IRONMAN Boulder 2018 – A race that went incredibly well with a plan the went horrible wrong. This was my second IRONMAN and my second IRONMAN Boulder. The first go didn’t go as planed. Well the second didn’t go as planned either but I’ll get to that later. In my first attempt I was suffering…
My first race of 2018 is is the books, IRONMAN 70.3 St. George. It’s hard to believe that this is only my fourth half Ironman distance event and my second IRONMAN branded 70.3. A couple years back when I started it’s hard to believe that I would come to enjoy this distance. Here is my…
While I’m still in shock it’s quarter through 2018 already, I have yet to race a triathlon. But I sure do have a lot of races coming up! Eleven to be exact. It’s currently about two weeks out from my first triathlon, IRONMAN 70.3 St. George. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I’ve…
The Littlefoot Triathlon was supposed to be my fist triathlon about two years ago. It was close to home and on local training turf. But we changed our minds and made the Oktoberfest Triathlon our first. So this year I finally had the opportunity to give Littlefoot a try. Unfortunately, it was the worst race of…
I signed up for Challenge Aruba as a “racecation”. A perfect way to end the season. I would start off the trip with a 70.3 race and end it with a relaxing beach vacation in Aruba! This would be my first time traveling with my bike on an airplane. I wasn’t sure what to expect….
Last season I qualified twice for the USA Triathlon Olympic-Distance Age Group National Championship Race. The first was for finishing in the top 33% at the Steamboat Lake Triathlon. The second was for taking 3rd place and finishing in the top 10% at the 106° West Triathlon. It was quite an honor to receive notification that I…
The Boulder Sunset Triathlon was the third in a series of triathlons, put on by BBSC Triathlon at the Boulder Reservoir. All three races have the same course and I had come in fourth place in the pervious two, as well as the only one I raced the year before. It was time to break…
