It's running season!! A few helpful hints I've found for the hardest part of racing.....Tapering. Tapering isn't just for marathoners. In fact, one recent study showed a huge performance benefit when subjects tapered for a 5K. Here's how to taper for four common road-racing distances: 5K Cut your normal mileage in half the week before your 5K race, but maintain some intensity. Early in the week,... Read More

This is how happy I am now that the season is over and I get to have some R&R! As I mentioned in my last post, I cant thank my friends, family, teams, and supporters enough for all the energy they have given me this year. This triathlon season was only my second season as a triathlete and it was an amazing, long, and fun adventure. Lets try to remember how the year looked: The winter trainin... Read More

I have enjoyed being updated on how the team has been doing. This is my off season and a time to focus on my business and family. It has been hard not to exercise and train like I want. I have been doing strength training and some running. The hardest is maintaining the weight. My goal over the winter is to lose about 7 lbs. Thanks Sip for the Burpee exercise. I have added that and my children are... Read More

After winning my age group at Rev3 Anderson, SC, I decided to take a break from training for two weeks. The weather was changing, and I wasn't motivated to be training in the cold. I was healthy, injury free and won my last two races which was a great way to end the season. My body and my instincts were telling me that I had had enough and it was time to rest even though I had one more race schedu... Read More

The last four days I was 2200 miles away from home, in San Diego, California where Endurance Films Racing teammates Diane and Scott live and train. I was there for just 72 hours -- to present at a conference on teaching and learning -- but I still had to find time to fit in two runs of 15 and 5 miles ( marathon prep ) and a swim. I knocked out the week's gym workouts before I left town. I ... Read More

[gallery] On Friday, October 7th I picked up a load in Atlanta, Ga which I had to deliver in Norfolk, VA on October 10th. This gave me enough time to stop in Anderson, SC for the REV3 Series Finale. I found out about this race in a full page advertisement in one of the triathlete magazines. I noticed that it was sponsored by Pilot/Flying J, which is a major truck stop franchise, so I thought this... Read More

This morning I did my first EVER trainer ride to a DVD. I was pretty skeptical and was not sure how this would hold my attention. It's the rare show or movie that I can actually sit through. No way it would motivate me. I braced myself for some boredom. Turns out, boredom didn't stand a chance. Usually my Coach prescribes the trainer workouts, I have to program them into my Garmin Edge, and then ... Read More

Background: 7 years ago they announced a new half iron race in Montauk, NY and it was my first race season. At the beginning of my season I thought what a great idea to end the season in beautiful Montauk, by the end I was completely dreading my decision. I'm not one to step down from a challenge and when i set my sights on something I go for it so once it was in my head it was game on. In 20... Read More

Freezing, down pour, windy, awesome!! Three days off the plane I didn't expect much from this race. A couple of people I was coaching were doing this run as there first marathon so my goal was to make sure they started and finished. I tried to do a short run two days before and couldn't even do 3 miles. My lungs felt strained from my asthma attack at Worlds. I decided I would listen to my bo... Read More

Entry #1: travel woes Duathlon World Championship. Just typing it is exciting. I never thought I would be a world class athlete. Now I’m training with the best of New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, and others. The trip started with trouble. My bag was too heavy and the bike fees increased. So there I am in the middle of the airport unloading my bags of nuts and protein shakes and trying t... Read More

This sprint triathlon at Lake Anna, NW of Richmond, VA was a late addition to my race schedule. It was just one town over from Mineral, the epicenter of the recent earthquake. This was intended to be a low-key, fun, getaway wrap-up to the season with my friend Krista. Coach called it the “icing on the cake” race. I envisioned a relaxed little event with plenty of sunshine ( and maybe rainbows and ... Read More

After Age Group Nationals in Burlington, VT I was motivated. I had a great race and I had a whole month - all of September - to train for my last three races of the season starting with the Powerman Muncie Sprint Triathlon which was today. I met my training volume for the month and was running very well. My swimming has been good the last two weeks to. This had me thinking and visualizing my sprin... Read More
