Recently, I was listening to a podcast interview with Ryan Holiday and he was explaining that to master something, you need to have someone mentoring and coaching you, an equal peer to push you and someone you are inspiring or supporting. I truly believe this and although I have incredible mentors and amazing peers, I… Read More…
Preparing for a destination race
In an effort to stay healthy as an athlete and not burn out, I have adjusted how I race this year. I have less A races and when I do go all in, the race styles vary from running, triathlon, duathlon, and adventure racing. I love to focus on an athletic goal, but I find that once I… Read More…

Genuine Health Ironman 70.3 Team: Race Report
Well. Just like that, it is over. We have crossed that finish line, collected our medals and are left scratching our heads with what to do with all that time that we are no longer training. Well, that last part is a bit of an untruth. We have a 200 KM group cycle planned this… Read More…

Guest Race Report: Duathlon Provincial Championships 2016
As I mentioned in my last post, I raced the Duathlon Provincial Championships this past weekend. Although I had a strong enough race, it was fairly formulaic and you hear about my races all the time so I thought I would hand this one over to my training partner and bad ass athlete, Mark Cullen. Having just raced the… Read More…
Time to Recover
A week before my half ironman, I was contacted by Recharge with Milk saying that I was selected to be one of their racers for one of their multisport series.
