It’s done, 18 miles under my belt. Fuck, that was not easy. But I’m glad I finally made it that distance. The build up to this run had me very nervous. My left foot had been bothering me and I wasn’t sure how it was going to hold up on this run. It had been…
After my 16 mile long run a couple weeks ago, I had severe foot pain. It was on the top of my foot, near the ankle. I wasn’t sure what to make of it, but my initial though was a stress fracture. With a few days of rest, the pain subsided dramatically and I ruled…

So I made it to 16 miles! I’m not going to lie, it hurt like a motherfucker! I was actually a really good up until I hit about 12 miles, then my body started falling apart. The last two miles were no fun, and I had feared I created a stress fracture in my foot….
I had the bright idea to run a marathon this year. I wanted to see if I could do it, and I knew I’d need to reach that distance if I wanted to do an Ironman one day. Last year when I was trying for a half marathon, the distance seemed like a challenge. Comprehending…
What had started as an obsession with cycling has transformed into an obsession with triathlon. And while I’ve been running along time, it’s time to step up my game and increase not only distance, but speed. As a techno junkie, when I first heard about the Stryd power meter there was not question, I knew…
The Oktoberfest Sprint Triathlon was our first triathlon. We woke up early to drive to Union Reservoir in Longmont, not sure what to expect. We were both nervous and excited at the same time. Jessica got to my place early about ten past five. We loaded the bikes and headed towards Longmont. After exiting the highway…
I’ve been wanting to participate in a triathlon for years. It’s been on my New Years resolution list for a while now. So this was the year, it’s finally time. I think the biggest thing holding me back was swimming. But I’ve been in the pool for almost a year so far. Am I ready,…
I’ve tracked my rides since I started riding. It had always been with the iPhone, because it was there. The technology and apps continually evolved and I never even considered switching things up. I started adding external sensors that connected via Bluetooth. Then things got complicated. Bluetooth, while amazing, is rather finicky. I had connection…
There a some days you’ll never forget and The Triple Bypass 2015 is definitely one of them. This was my second triple, so I had a good idea what to expect. It is a challenging ride, a long one and because you are climbing mountain passes, the weather can be a little unpredictable. Despite the fact…
