I learned something new this week. When you haven’t been to the Doctor’s office in 3 years, they treat you as a new patient. In some ways, that’s probably a good thing, but unfortunately for me, it means that I’m sick. Travel and lack of sleep, combined with being in close proximity to a sick
This past Sunday, I lost my grandfather to the sands of time. As he would say, his ticker had ran out. I hate that he’s gone, but I’m glad he didn’t linger long. It’s strange how different the world feels when you lose someone you love, and more so when it is someone you so
Well. I did it. 2 full weeks with no training. It’s been 19 months since I’ve had a break that long, and hopefully it will be at least 12 more before I have another. The first few days were great. Fresh off a century ride, my legs needed some time to recover and are used
It’s been rough, but I think the break has been good. Hopefully I’m healing up and getting ready to take on the off-season training and get in some skiing as well. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been all sunshine and flowers in Boulder the last few weeks. We’re experiencing what’s being referred to as a “100 year
As I wind down the season, I’m very excited about riding in the CU Buffalo Bicycle Classic this weekend, which will provide scholarships to students wanting to attend CU.

Boulder Sunset was a good way to close out the year. Pre-race The 10am start allowed plenty of time
Racing in Steamboat was an absolute blast! With each race, I continue to learn more and more about this sport. Some days it’s a few steps forward in some areas while taking a few back in others. This race was special for me as it was the first race that my parents have been able
How did this happen? I started out with such great intentions of staying on top of things, but now I’m starting to get behind. I’m now down 2 race reports with another race looming in 2 weeks! Hopefully I can get caught up this weekend as I really do enjoy capturing the experience to share
EK had a hell of a day in Lake Placid. It might not have ended the way he wanted it to, but I think he got a lot out of the day (probably more than he expected). From his report, running from Goblins: “I sometimes describe pacing of an Ironman as Running from Goblins. We
It’s amazing how rapidly things seem to change sometimes. I just recently crossed the 1-year mark at my client which included the luxury of not having to travel for work and the ability to train every day and still have plenty of time to enjoy my girls. In a flash, IM 70.3 Boulder is over
