The 2021 Steelman Olympic Triathlon race was my 6th Steelman Olympic race in addition to one Steelman Sprint distance. I was supposed to race last year but with Covid I deferred to this year.

Race Report – Ironman 70.3 North Carolina 2021

Ironman 70.3 North Carolina seems like it has been on hold for me forever. The time has finally come and gone and I have to say it was worth the wait. We loaded up the 4Runner and made the 9-10 hour drive down to Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina on the Wednesday morning before the race. …

Race Report – 2021 Ironman 70.3 Musselman

I have wanted to do the Musselman Triathlon. I love the Finger Lakes region of New York and had heard it was a really cool local, privately-run triathlon to do.

Florence – Cady Hill Forest, Stowe, VT

Kiss my grits! - Florence - Cady Hill Stowe

On our stop in Stowe, we rode the Cady Hill Forest trails for a couple hours. My favorite trail was definitely Florence, or Flo for short. There is an upper and lower section. They are both great, but the lower is probably the better of the two. If you bermed up flow trails with lots of jumps this is for you.

Race Report: Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga 2019

When deciding on an early season 70.3 race this season, I chose Chattanooga since I thought would be good place for a Spring road trip vacation/race combo. We did a road trip down South last year with our dog Bentley which was fun, so we thought we would do it again. For our race base …

Trekking the Dolomites – Part I – Tres Cime

The Dolomites has been on our hit list for some time. For some reason it just keeps getting pushed off. Well this year we decided, relatively last-minute, to hit it. My wife did all the booking of Rifugio’s with some help from her friend who had done this trip some time ago. I worked on …
