I had a solid race today at the Branbury Classic in Brandon Vermont. The event was a triathlon that consisted of a 1.5 mile kayak, 14.3 mile bike and 3.1 mile run. It was held in conjunction with a traditional sprint triathlon that swapped the kayak for a .6 mile swim. My bike speed average […]

I had a great fall of training and I headed out to West Yellowstone very confident in my fitness. I trained very little my first few days here and my energy felt great. Things started going south on Tuesday evening. I woke up at 1:00 AM with a fever and severe nausea. I fought the […]
Classic Sprint Semi-Final in Canmore October 24th I spent the last two weeks of October training in Canmore Alberta on the Frozen Thunder ski track.

Over the Weekend I participated in my first ever pond skimming event at Waterville Valley. I was asked to judge the event alongside mogul skier Hannah Kearney. After watching about 30 spectacular wipeouts and a handful of successful crossings it was my turn to make an attempt. I don’t own any traditional alpine equipment […]
I have not been planning to race the 50k freestyle event tomorrow. However Eric Bjoernson got sick this morning and I was offered his race start. I am far from my best right now. Over the last week I have consulted with our team doctor and several physiologists who all told me that I needed […]
