K-Swiss Ad Campaign
I’m in NYC this week shooting a K-Swiss Ad Campaign. This AM, we went to the showroom where all of the exciting new shoe and clothing samples live before they are mass produced and distributed. I’ll post some pics later today.
The rest of the day has been a whole lot of “Hurry up and wait”! Chris…
Kona Part II
Wow, how time flies! It seems that as soon as I finish one blog post, I’m already procrastinating on the next one: ) After several friendly reminders today, I figured I’d post a quick race recap before Kona ’09 is here. . .
Just gettting to the start line in Kona was a huge…
Kona recap–Part I
Triathlon + Hollywood = Malibu Tri
The Malibu Triathlon was a great way to ease back into racing after IM Louisville. I was only doing the bike leg of a relay, so it was a lot of fun and totally low-stress. (Not to be confused with easy. . .when will I stop forgetting how badly this short stuff hurts?! 45′ at…
A Little bit of Southern (dis)Comfort
The thing I love most about Ironman is that just when you start to feel like you might have things figured out, you realize that actually, you don’t. It’s part of what makes the sport exciting, intriguing, and occasionally a little bit frustrating. It’s also why, as long as I’m able, I’ll be coming back…

Last weekend I was in Louisville, Kentucky to help out with the LifeSport Ironman preparation camp. It was a fantastic few days of casing out the course, meeting other athletes, and getting in some good quality training of my own. After three days of previewing the course by car; swimming, biking, and running over nearly…
Summer Camp
Remember how much you loved summer camp as a kid? Running around outside, seeing old friends, meeting new ones. . .Some things never change; while the “running around” was perhaps a little more structured at last week’s training camp in Canada than the outdoor camps I went to as a kid, in many other…
Palomar Mountain
This past weekend was the last big weekend of training before Ironman, and I wanted to make it a good one! Instructions on my training plan read long ride with 2.5 hours of tempo on rolling hills to long climbs—find something that simulates the course. The IM France course is nothing if it’s…
Boise
This weekend in Boise I chalked up the first, and hopefully last, DNF of my triathlon career. I also may have set some sort of record for the earliest drop out in a race, since the problem came about 10 strokes into the swim. . .apparently, this is about as far as I’m comfortable swimming at race pace without oxygen, which was the…
