Well there is a first time for everything, and early on in the bike I made a wrong turn – I’ll rewind a little bit, but I wanted to explain that right away. Race morning was perfect; woke up in my own bed bright and early at 5am, foam rolled, made coffee, had a breakfastContinue reading “Race Report: Aluminum Man Triathlon”

Race Report: Lake Stevens 70.3
Lake Stevens was my 2nd Half Ironman race, and the prep for this race was very different than the prep for Austin 70.3 last October. Going into this race I had much more confidence in my ability, I had an additional 9 months of base under my belt, but I didn’t have a really consistentContinue reading “Race Report: Lake Stevens 70.3”
Life Update & Race Report: Deschutes Dash Olympic Triathlon
What a summer it has been! Wow, the natural place to start is definitely going to be that I married the woman of my dreams on June 7th. It was an amazing day, filled with quite the drama as wildfire forced us to evacuate our wedding site and move the reception to a public parkContinue reading “Life Update & Race Report: Deschutes Dash Olympic Triathlon”

Race Report: Mid-Summer Olympic Triathlon (which became a duathlon…)
The Mid-Summer Triathlon takes place on the exact same course as the Blue Lake Triathlon that I’d run in June. Going into race weekend, I was feeling very confident that I was going to be able to take off at least 10 minutes from my time only 2 months earlier. Leading up to this raceContinue reading “Race Report: Mid-Summer Olympic Triathlon (which became a duathlon…)”
Race Report: Deschutes Dash Olympic Triathlon
Going into this race, my second triathlon ever – I was much more confident and excited compared to the nervousness I had before blue lake. I knew that the course was going to pose challenges: heat, altitude, elevation on the bike, and a challenging run mixed with trails, stairs, and climbs. However, I had an additional 5Continue reading “Race Report: Deschutes Dash Olympic Triathlon”
