Before the Race For the first time in the 5 Ironmans I’ve done, I was ready on Friday (two days prior to the actual Ironman). I felt really prepared and excited to race, I was very rested and just eager to go out there and give it my all. It has been a tradition for […]
2016 Boulder Ironman Race Report
I was very excited to compete in the 2016 Boulder Ironman. It had been a little over 1 year since I competed and completed an Ironman (Whistler 2015). That race had been pretty miserable in terms of weather, but the race went pretty well considering, achieving a big personal record. I had not cramped, except for […]
70.3 Boulder Race Report (behind the camera)
I didn’t race Boulder 70.3, but I was out there. I didn’t cross the finish line, but I was at the finish line. I ran, biked, got wet, but didn’t have a race number. I was exhausted at the end but didn’t get a medal or T-shirt, so what did I do? I took videos […]
70.3 Kraichgau Race Report
70.3 Kraichgau Race report Where do I start? I guess I have to start by somehow explaining where this place is. So many people thought I was racing in Kraków in Poland, which is a completely different place, but it’s known by a lot more people, not because of triathlons but because of the WWII concentration […]

XTERRA Buffalo Creek Triathlon
Deciding to do an XTERRA Triathlon was very last minute for me, the final decision came Wednesday August 19th, 3 days before the race, which took place, August 22nd. I saw a posting on Facebook saying they still had some spots left for the triathlon. A little back story, about a week before, I had […]
Ironman Canada Race Report 2015
Ironman Canada was my 3rd Ironman Triathlon, I had suffered through the first two because of cramps during the run, but the thought of quitting had never crossed my mind, especially not during the bike. Ironman Canada was different, I can recall at least 4 different times on the bike when I simply wanted to stop, go to my […]
Ironman Boulder 70.3 Race Report
Leading up to the Race I can’t believe it’s almost July already, it has been raining so much in Boulder, it hasn’t felt like summer racing season yet. I was a little concerned as the whole week leading to the race it had been a little on the colder side, but at least the forecast […]
