The Journey Begins This journey started back in January of 2018 when I decided to forego the suggestion of my late coach to bypass Ironman for 2018, and stick to half distances. Yes, I’m a rebel and didn’t agree with his focus on the short distance first before targeting longer distance races.. I was fortunate […]
Ironman Wisconsin Race Report 2017
I had a good experience at Wisconsin this year, my travel into Madison was uneventful, I arrived at the airport Thursday night and then got to the hotel via the shuttle with enough time to check-in to the hotel and retrieve my bike from Tri-bike transport. By this time I already had Ironman fever after […]
Ironman Texas 2016 Race Report
Pre-race: I wrapped up all my required race prep by about 1pm on Friday, spent the afternoon and evening doing nothing, literally nothing (was actually bored). I did some walking around, hung out on the patio at the hotel, headed out to the store just for something to do. I finished up my race day […]
Ironman Louisville 2013 Race Report
So its over now, 38 weeks of preparation, planning, sacrifice, pain, heat …. I think I felt every possible emotion on the journey to be an Ironman, but none was more special than that day. Yes, that day, August 25th. Its amazing how you can plan your entire life around one date and one event, […]
Black Bear Triathlon Post-Race Report
I haven’t gotten into the habit of updating much between races, just don’t seem to have any extra time in a day to do it. At least I can take the time to summarize the reason why I train so much, the races themselves.. I signed up for the Black Bear Triathlon (Olympic distance), at […]
NJ Devilman post-race report
Its been quite awhile since I updated my training status on the blog here, i’ve just been too busy. I’ve made it through 11 weeks of training now and completed race number one of the season yesterday.. the NJ Devilman Half-Lite. I enjoy posting race reports because it reminds me of what I need to […]
GTN triathlon post race report
I haven’t been good at writing in my blog in recent weeks, but I couldn’t go without writing a post race report for the Got the Nerve? triathlon.. I guess to sum it up in a few words? I did it! I headed out to Mt Gretna early in the afternoon on Friday to get […]
oh yeah, OBX marathon report
I hadn’t realized its been almost a month since I posted in my blog, just goes to show you that blogging isn’t my priority right now. Lots has happened since the last update, I finished the Outer Banks marathon and have started my winter conditioning program which you can read about at my other site, […]
Hartford Marathon post-race report
There is no doubt that the weather on Saturday for the ING Hartford Marathon was just spectacular. I was a little worried all week when I noticed the morning temperatures falling into the low to mid 40’s in Connecticut, but all turned out well. It was a little strange for me running a marathon on […]
Rochester Marathon post-race report
Sunday was a great day for me as I returned to my former glory of running sub-4 hour marathons .. I didn’t go out expecting to break 4 hours, but the pace I was running reminded me of how hard I trained all summer, so I went with the feeling and ended up with a […]
