Thursday, July 10, 2014. 8220;If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.”. March 15, 2014 started off like any other Spring, Saturday morning. I had made arrangements the day before to meet Nick (an ATCer that I had ridden with the prior week that was about my pace) at Silk Sheets for a nice casual 50 mile training ride. The weather was perfect and this would be my 3rd time outside on the bike this year. I was super excited! Notice how I went from 30mph to 0 in a split second! A few m...

Tuesday, January 20, 2015. The Road to San Juan. Every day you wait is another day you'll never get back again.". The offseason.

Saturday, September 29, 2012. Augusta 70.3 Goals. It's 5:30 PM, on race day eve, and I am sitting at a crappy hotel with my mom relaxing as best as I can.

So there you have it; my goals. Keep them in mind as you track me throughout the day. The only one who can tell you 'you can't' is you. And you don't have ...

Monday, October 21, 2013. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." Dr. Seuss. Last Saturday, I hopped on a plane to Chinandega, Nicaragua with 33 of my coworkers for what was to be an amazingly incredible heartwarming week. After a 4 hour flight and a 3 hour bus ride, we arrived at the Amigos for Christ property shortly after midnight. After unpacking, and a little hanging out, most of us were in bed; we knew we had a long day ahead of us. 65279;...

I had no interest working out. I let myself go for sure. R the rest of the off-season, motivation was still lacking, and I decided not to run th...
