I forgot to publish this post before Ironman Kona. Here’s what I had to say (written on the flight on October 6): A long flight from NYC to Kona means I can finally recap how my 2014 triathlon season unfolded. Most people dream of going to the big island of Kailua-Kona…but my mission to qualify…
Well…it’s been a while since my last update. Sorry about that! Ever since Ironman Lake Placid, my summer has unfolded unlike anything I could imagine. It’s been a spectacular summer and I’ll be posting updates from Leadville 100, Toughman Half, and other races within the next few days… I’ll have time to write when I’m…
When I first got the call about the opportunity to race The Leadville 100 MTB, I immediately jumped at my race calendar to find out if I could pencil it in. I saw that it was only 13 days after IRONMAN Lake Placid, so proper recovery after my “A” race would be essential to bounce…
If I had to sum up my experiences at Ironman Lake Placid in one word, it would be PERFECTION. I drove up from to Lake Placid on Thursday morning and was probably the first few hundred of athletes to check in. The town and Main Street had yet to be saturated with triathletes and their families….

Whether you are new to triathlon, or looking to improve your performance, check him out at…

In the Summer of 2012, I watched my sister participate in the Brooklyn Bridge Swim. It was my first experience watching NYC swimmers brave the notoriously dirty shores of the Hudson & East Rivers, and swim headfirst towards Manhattan island. Ever since that summer, I wanted to try a NYC Swim event. I missed the…
Mineola Bicycle & Mower has been around for a really long time. I first discovered them when I was biking around Long Island and saw a bunch of riders dressed in red and white. And the rest is history – Mineola Bicycle is my go-to destination for anything that deals with the bike…tune ups, cycling…
