It has been quite a while since the last update. There’s really no excuse for why I haven’t updated, other than the usual, “I’ve been to busy” excuse. So here I go…an attempt to condense two epic race weekends into one post. Let us start off at Challenge Quassy, a season opener for many triathletes…
Just one year ago, I raced in my first Battenkill – known by cyclists as one of the toughest one day amateur races in the Northeast. Last year, I raced in Category 5 and came through with a top 10 finish. This year I raced in the Open Category 4 race and found myself finishing…
What did I do last weekend? Well, let’s start off with Friday. My training partner drove for over 90 minutes so that we could do a track workout together…talk about dedication! We set ourselves up for 10 repeats of 1km (2.5 laps). Did we finish them all? Of course…having someone to train with not only motivates…
Sometimes the best way to go into a race is when your mind is free of stress. Going into the 13.1 Queens event, I had very little expectations – running mileage had been low and many scheduled workouts were pushed back due to unsafe running conditions (snow & ice). And just the day before the…
As most of you may already know, I have signed on with Perfect Fuel Chocolate Elite Team for the 2015 season. I remember meeting Miles and Nicolas, the cofounders of Perfect Fuel Chocolate, at the 2014 IRONMAN Lake Placid. The duo creates super delicious and nutritious dark chocolate products loaded with ginseng. You can find…
2014 was a spectacular year! Thank you to my family, friends, and sponsors for the support. The winter months were filled with hard indoor trainer workouts and miserably frigid run workouts. Then, I raced as a Category 5 cyclist under USA Cycling’s system, and soon upgraded to a Category 4 racer within 3 months to…
I can’t believe it’s been a year since last year’s Ironman Florida. Time really flies by when you’re busy training and racing 🙂 Hanging out and about the Ironman village is always fun, and this year, Halloween was the day before race day! We had a bit of fun 🙂 And Club La Vela had…
Hey there. I didn’t want to do a write up of the CEEPO Venom until I’ve had the chance to put the bike through some training and racing. Many of you already know, from pictures and such, that I’ve been riding this frame for a few months now. The CEEPO Venom just got back from…
The long awaited IRONMAN Kona blog post…Sorry for the delay. Business school midterms and projects, along with work took priority immediately after Kona, leaving me virtually no time to write up my experiences in Hawaii. I promise that will be my only excuse in this recap of IRONMAN Kona. Our journey to Kona began on…
