Last Weeks Trainer Ride

A little update on the trainer I filmed last week.

Before and After Run

Just a couple of clips I took before and after my run this morning. This training time is precious before the baby comes. Thanks a ton to Rebecca for the hour she gave me this morning.

More Podcast Shorts

Hello there! Just another quick blog to let everyone know that I am still "Tri-ing". I am still busy busy and keeping up with at least 30 minutes a day. My tricep is feeling better and I am anxious to get back in the water. The baby will be coming soon and so will come another chapter. I hope everyone is having a bountiful off season one way or another. Enjoy the podcast short below. Push On!

Hangin on!

Just a quick post to let everyone know I am still here. I have a lot going on right now that is makin training more of a challenge than usual. Our third child is due to join us in less than three weeks. I am training when I can and focusing on my running in the off season. I have also been on the trainer and on some rides. My tricep injury hasn't gone away and I am back on the Kinesio tape for two weeks and a prescription anti-inflammatory patch for a month. The doc says no swimming until I get the inflammation under control. I will be tweeting some videos and podcasts to mix things up a bit. I hope to make a decision before too long about my triathlon schedule. I think I am going to lean toasted three quality races and a possible half ironman. May you all keep up the best you can during the off season and I will be updating often. Push on!

Reflecting and Next Steps

I just finished watching Star Wars episode IV for the second time with my five year old. Never a dull moment with that kid and his 21 month old brother is growing up fast in his footsteps. It has been a while since my last blog posting and I thought I would dust off the keyboard and reflect a bit.




I started out with my main goal of qualifying for the National Age Group Championship. I met this goal and it was an incredible journey. I have met many friends, and have learned a lot about myself, my health, my body, and how to push my limits. It has been incredibly taxing and I have been very happy with my results. I have said it before and will say it again, if it isn’t difficult to obtain, your goals aren’t high enough. It is important to put yourself in situations that you aren’t accustomed to in order to grow in anything in life.



My final sprint triathlon of the season was awesome. I ended up placing third in my age group and 13th overall. I still have a half marathon that I will do in a couple weeks and hope to push myself to a PR there as well. I am still making up my mind as to what I will do next year. With our third boy on the way December 15th, dad’s training schedule will have to be approached with lots of flexibility to say the least. One option is 3 races. One option would be Northeastern regional qualifier to qualify again for Nationals, Nationals, and an undetermined half ironman. Another option is to stick to the Go Tri Sports SCTS local races and include one of the half ironman races in that series. Whatever I do I will train as much as I can while the first priority will be getting to know our new family member, and battling the attention needed for all of the other family members.



I will be putting together a mixed podcast of clips I have recorded throughout the last part of the season so hopefully you can follow it. I will follow up with a report of my half marathon. Push on!
