Thank you to Bob Babbitt & Paul Huddle for having me on Competitor Radio. The last time I was on the show with these guys was 2010. I was still pretty broken and had no idea what sort of career I might have left as a triathlete. Now, two-ish years later, I'm whole and Kona-bound! … Continue reading Competitor Radio Countdown to Kona
The Leadman Cometh Again
Well, race week is here. If you're not doing a long training day (and you shouldn't be; you're getting ready to race a really long way) on the weekend, a little inspiration for the upcoming week. And if you're reading this on Monday, it's less than a week away. I'm sure you are all having … Continue reading The Leadman Cometh Again
Home Away From Home
In the words of Borat, "It's very nice!"There is probably no bigger question - at least for me anyway - when I plan for a race than, "where am I going to stay."

Real Men of BAMFness: CPL Todd Love
Haven't done a Real (Wo)Men of BAMFness in a while. Not because folks haven't been out there being BAMFs, but because I've been unBAMF in my ability to keep track of them while also doing everything else. But this überBAMF that came to me via Twitter reminded me about how awesome people are. It's another … Continue reading Real Men of BAMFness: CPL Todd Love
Around The Bend
You know you want one...11hrs. 9hrs. 4 weeks. Those are the numbers that you need to know. 11hrs gets you a small buckle. 9hrs gets you the BIG buckle.
