Ironman Panama 70.3 Race Report
I probably should start by answering the obvious question: Why am I going all the way to Ironman Panama to race when there are plenty of options in the US??? Well, due to some family plans, I was unable to race at my usual favorites (e.g., Oceanside 70.3, Boise 70.3, etc.) and the other options that worked logistically (e.g., Racine 70.3, Raleigh 70.3, etc.) were pretty unappealing to me. No offense to those races and towns, but I didn’t have much interest in those events. Panama, given the timing and relative ease to reach as far as...
read moreTraining for Triathlon: How to get Faster!
Athlete: I want to go faster this year. What’s the best way to do that? Yes, I get this question often. As in, with nearly every athlete I speak. Regardless of the skill level, what kind of training for triathlons they are doing, and whether it is sprint training or Ironman training, most triathletes (yes, including me) want to get faster. Swim faster, bike faster, run faster… even transition faster. Well, other than transitioning faster, if you want to swim, bike, or run faster, I have one big piece of advice for you: SLOW...
read moreHealthy Veggie Pasta Recipe
Healthy meals, to me, always have a few adjectives in common. First, and most obvious, they must be healthy. I don’t have a bunch of rules on what that means. I think we all know healthy when we see it, just like we know unhealthy when we see it. Although, the food industry is remarkable in making stunningly unhealthy things appear to be very healthy but that’s an article for another day… Second, they need to be relatively quick and easy to make. I know that’s not part of the traditional definition of “healthy meals”...

read moreOff-Season Triathlon Training
Well, another triathlon season is over and the so-called “off season” is upon us. The arrival of the holidays, nicely enough, typically coincide with the end of the usual triathlon season. For many, this also causes what’s often called the “Ironman Hangover”. After finishing an Ironman (and living in Phoenix, this is Ironman Arizona for me), many athletes are stricken with a general malaise of unknown origin. Symptoms include boredom, sleepiness, sadness, and/or a general melancholy. Some outlying symptoms that are also noted are...
read moreIronman Arizona 2013 Race Report
Normally, in my race reports, I try to tell a story, to share something that I learned, to make it fun or entertaining, etc. Ironman Arizona just left me wrecked. I had high expectations going into the race and missed all my goals. By a long shot. What can I say about Ironman Arizona? Some days, everything works. Other days, no matter what you do, nothing seems to work. My day was certainly somewhere in the middle but trended towards the nothing working side as it unfolded. While I would love to tell some masterful tale of wonder, triumph, and...
