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. I had done other races in the Finger Lakes like the Peasantman and the Keuka Lake Triathlon and then they never disappoint. Of course Ironman …

Race Report – 2018 Ironman Lake Placid
Ironman Lake Placid was my “A” races of the 2018 season. It was the perfect climax to my 5th IM finish as I turn 50 at the end of this year. It was also the 20th anniversary for IMLP and 40 years for Ironman as well. There was a lot of significant things that were all coming together. It would also be my last Iron-distance race.

Searching for a New Triathlon Wetsuit?
Are you just getting into triathlon and are considering your first wetsuit purchase? Or maybe you already bought one and it doesn’t fit quite right? It took me purchasing three wetsuits until I found the one that was just right. I kind of felt like I was Goldilocks trying out the Three Bears beds. …

IMCdA 2015 Training Log-Week#22&23(May 26-June 7)-The Last Push
I am going to double up here on the last two weeks of build before my 3 week taper into Ironman Coeur d’Alene. It has been a pretty brutal 2 weeks since I really never had a full recovery week since about 5 weeks ago. I did a couple little 3 day recovery before and …
