Race reports should be written and posted in a timely manner, but sometimes it gets pushed back 2 months. Better late than never, right? In lieu of my normal race recaps, I wanted to share a quick recap of the 2017 Ironman 70.3 Syracuse triathlon race. After a dismal result at the Boston Marathon in…
My first time in Mexico was surely a memorable one! I will post a non-race report post later on, but for now, I want to get the race report out of the way. Travel: Getting to the race was very simple – I flew on Thanksgiving morning from NYC, took a little break in Miami…
A total of 11 days have passed since racing the IRONMAN World Championships in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii and I’m finally ready to reflect how my race-day unfolded. This was my second time to the island and I really wanted to do much better than my 2014 result. But more importantly, I was looking to have a…
Another month, another race.

a perfect weekend. Last year, 3 weeks before Ironman World Championships, I was convinced to participate in Ironman Maryland…for fun. The race features a two loop swim in the Choptank River, a two loop pancake flat bike and a completely flat run, making it ideal conditions for a fast race for most athletes. At this…
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…
