As the title suggests, it’s been far too long since I’ve last updated things on here, so hopefully this is the start of more consistent posting on here! The title also has another meaning, and that refers more to the fact that I’m finally starting to feel a bit of motivation to start getting back [...]

Many of the folks here in Walla Walla have already heard the exciting news about Potentrx coming to visit us here for physiological testing in a couple of weeks. For those of you who don’t already know, I want to invite you to this great opportunity to have some awesome state of the art testing done [...]

Life has a way of catching up on a person every now and then, and with that I find myself several weeks out from my last update. Since Ironman Canada, things here in Walla Walla have shifted down a couple gears and I’ve settle into off-season mode with school in full swing and lots of [...]

It’s been a week since IM Canada and I’ve had some time to think about a day where things didn’t go quite as hoped, but I learned a lot and had a fun time regardless. The day before the race I got a nice email from my friend Linsey Corbin wishing me luck and reminding [...]

The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind here in Walla Walla. I’ve begun tapering down my training in preparation for Ironman Canada next weekend, and along with that have done a few races to help keep things sharp. I’ve also enjoyed some nice down time here with a few easy [...]

Coming up on IM Canada in about 3 weeks, I’ve had to try to figure out the right balance of recovery, and trying to get in those last few key workouts that will get you to the start line healthy and fit. At four weeks out from the race, I raced the Troika half ironman, [...]

Have you ever spent a weekend racing a triathlon and gotten home and forgotten all about the race already? Well, that doesn’t usually happen, but this was one of those weekends, for good reason. I decided to go up to the 30th annual Troika Half Ironman held in Spokane, WA this weekend as part of [...]

This past weekend provided me with another great opportunity for some fun bike racing in Bend, OR. This year I’ve done quite a few stage races as part of my training, and it’s a great way to get a heap of intensity into your cycling legs, not to mention a nice way to spend some [...]

This past weekend I headed up to Chelan, WA for the Chelan Multisport weekend with my friends Javin and Laura Berg. Javin and Laura were both racing, and I was hoping to somehow talk my way into the race. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get into the race, but I was looking forward to a [...]

The last couple of weeks here in Walla Walla has seen the weather and training really heat up! With good friends and training partners like (Shawn Ongers, Max Coleman, Javin Berg, Cheryl Thonney) we’ve been hitting up lots of the great climbs into the foothills around Walla Walla the last few weeks. Not only is [...]

There is no substitution for intelligently planned, hard work in our training. Through my years of training, racing and coaching, I’ve learned that not all work is the same. I try to create a good balance of intensity, volume and appropriate recovery into a training schedule while, most importantly, accounting for a person’s daily routine [...]
