The Rookie and Napoleon
I missed a week in my blog, so I’m making up for it with a double entry today. A week ago, I raced one of my favorite all-time events, The Rookie in New Braunfels, Texas. The race is located about an hour south of Austin at a water-skiing park and has become one of the favorite venues for tria...
St.Croix Ironman 70.3
Tomorrow, I’m heading to St.Croix for my first race of the 2008 season. St.Croix Ironman 70.3 is a classic in the sport of triathlon. It’s a challenging course, in a beautiful location, with a talented pro field. It’s been too long since I’ve raced, so I’m itching...
Back in business and a new flashy helmet
My recovery is coming along great. I just finished my first week of running without any major issues, aside from the normal soreness associated with starting back up after three weeks without running. The approach to my recovery is pretty conservative, but I’m confident that I’ll come out of t...
Race Schedule Change
I’m changing my upcoming race schedule due to injury issues. I will not be racing Ironman Arizona or Boise Ironman 70.3. In place of those two races I will be racing St. Croix Ironman 70.3 and then Ironman Brazil. We’ll also be switching around some of my planned local races in Ce...
Back from Mallorca
I made it back to Austin safe and sound last night from my 3 week training camp in Germany and Spain. It was an amazing experience. I got to ride on some of the most beautiful roads I’ve ever seen, train with some of the best professional triathletes in the world, and just plain have fun...

If you're reading a tri mag in Germany....
look for me. If you happen to peruse a German triathlon magazine, you may catch a glimpse of me. Check out the Xterra Wetsuit advertisement to be printed in some German tri mags. Note: I am the less hairy of the two people in the ad. Although, I wish I could grow a cool beard like the other gu...
Heading to Europe
Next weekend, I’m heading out of Austin to do my final Ironman Arizona preparation work in Europe. I’ll be spending a total of three weeks training there, with the first week in Germany and the following two weeks in Mallorca, Spain. Then I’ll come back to Austin in the end of March and begin ...
Out of VO2 max, back into volume
Sometimes the mental challenges are as great as the physical. As part of my training, my coach, Derick, schedules phases and cycles that coincide with a larger picture for the next race’s preparation, the coming season, as well as my long-term development. Each phase brings its own challenges,...
Ode to Pop-Tarts: The Saviors of the Long Winter Bike Rides
We are currently in the darkest, coldest days of winter training. Many times, our winter bike rides are long, easier paced rides with the intent of building the physiological foundations for the coming season. This means a lot of time in the saddle; long days in the cold. This is also the time...

3M Half Marathon: Nice day for a PR
My quads are absolutely trashed, but that’s a good thing, isn’t it? It means I raced hard and left everything on the course. On top of laying it on the line, I came out with a personal best; a great way to start a Sunday.
This morning, I raced in the 3M Half Marathon, a very po...
FROST YER FANNY DU
Today was the Frost Yer Fanny Du up in Leander, Tx and yes…it was cold. Brandon and I woke up this morning to about 25 degree temperature. I asked Brandon if they were going to cancel the race because it was so cold out. He basically just laughed at me and said that it’s not cal...
