2012 Team Psycho Time Trial
February 28, 2012
A few weeks ago I competed in the Team Psycho Indoor Bike Time Trial. Every winter since 2008 I’ve had the opportunity to test out my fitness (and pain tolerance) at one of these virtual races. The format is that there are 16 computrainers all hooked up to a couple flat screen TV’s, and you […]

Barbados ITU Race Report
February 21, 2012
My second Continental Cup stop of the 2012 season was the tropical Bidgetown, Barbados Pan American Cup. The 19-man field in Bridgetown was probably one of the most bizarre fields I’ve ever raced in. First off, it was very small. Second, the field included two former World Champions and a host of stud runners who […]

This past year at the ITU London World Championship Series race, which served as an Olympic Qualifier for many countries, the difference between 8th place (which would qualify for the Olympics by most country standards) and 28th place was exactly 60 seconds. You literally had a guy crossing the finish line every three seconds, on […]

Kicking off 2012 on the Roads
January 4, 2012
After my final race of 2011 I took a relaxing two weeks off from training and then quickly jumped back into things. With my first triathlon of the year approaching on January 22, I was forced to build my training load rapidly. After my first three-week build, I had a recovery week going into New […]

Racing on the Road: Weeks 3 – 5
November 9, 2011
As I stated in my last blog post, the next couple weeks on the road were a two-week training block in Colorado Springs, CO. The goal here was to get a solid block of altitude training in before racing the Guatape, Colombia World Cup (altitude: 6,600 ft). I got out to the Springs on Wednesday, […]

Racing on the Road: Weeks 1 & 2
October 31, 2011
The second week of October marked the beginning of my “crazy year-end racing extravaganza”. This involves four races on four different continents AND a two-week altitude camp in the span of just six weeks. On October 9th I raced the USAT Elite Series Finale in Myrtle Beach, SC, then the following week I flew across […]

Elite Nationals Race Report
October 4, 2011
Two weeks ago I drove out to Buffalo to participate in my fifth USA Elite Nationals race. This was not a key focus event for me, and I had a heavy training load going into race week. Nevertheless, I was still confident that I could perform well as I had finished in a strong sixth […]
