Race Report – Ironman 70.3 North Carolina 2021
Ironman 70.3 North Carolina seems like it has been on hold for me forever. The time has finally come and gone and I have to say it was worth the wait. We loaded up the 4Runner and made the 9-10 hour drive down to Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina on the Wednesday morning before the race. …

Race Report – 2021 Ironman 70.3 Musselman
I have wanted to do the Musselman Triathlon. I love the Finger Lakes region of New York and had heard it was a really cool local, privately-run triathlon to do. I had done other races in the Finger Lakes like the Peasantman and the Keuka Lake Triathlon and then they never disappoint. Of course Ironman …

Part of our trip to Bhutan this year included bookending a few days in Kathmandu. My wife has been Kathmandu a couple of times before and always had good memories of her time there. Now I will get to see what she was talking about. We flew into Kathmandu via Emirates Airlines from Newark, NJ …

The Dolomites has been on our hit list for some time. For some reason it just keeps getting pushed off. Well this year we decided, relatively last-minute, to hit it. My wife did all the booking of Rifugio’s with some help from her friend who had done this trip some time ago. I worked on …

Race Report – 2018 Ironman Lake Placid
Ironman Lake Placid was my “A” races of the 2018 season. It was the perfect climax to my 5th IM finish as I turn 50 at the end of this year. It was also the 20th anniversary for IMLP and 40 years for Ironman as well. There was a lot of significant things that were all coming together. It would also be my last Iron-distance race.

2018 is Off…To A Less Than Stellar Start!
I was looking forward to a big triathlon year in 2018. I move into a new age group this year and I would be heading back to Ironman Lake Placid for my 3rd time and hopefully my 5th Ironman finish. Unfortunately, things are not starting off well. We recently got a new Mini-Goldendoodle named Bentley …

IM Boulder Week 22 Wrap-Up – Down the Shore
Week 22 was the 2nd of two solid build weeks. At least it was supposed to be. The middle of the week a good blend of two-a-days mixing up some interval/tempo work with some easier Z2 workouts. I was feeling a little fatigued, but not too bad. Good enough to have some decent workouts with …
