My use of the phrase “human doing” may provoke in you some questions: What’s a human doing? What do human doing look and act like? Am I a human doing? This article will answer all of those questions. Plus, if you decide you are a human doing and you decide that you don’t want to [...]
I suppose it goes without saying (though I’m saying it anyway) that what you do during the prep period that has just begun will largely determine how your 2022-23 race season goes. What you do related to your ski racing in the spring, summer, and fall will either make or break whether you achieve your [...]
I think it’s unfair to call triathlons triathlons. By its very name, triathlon suggests that there are three events in the sport. However, as we all know, there are two other events that can have a big impact on where you end up in the results at the end of the day. Of course, I’m [...]
The 2021-22 race season is now well behind you and you’ve likely storage waxed your skis and stored all your gear till you get back on snow (perhaps this summer).

I just returned from a week in the UK where I was working with Global Cycling Network, the largest cycling-focused channel on YouTube, on a new, exciting, and as-yet top-secret project (I'm not allowed to get specific about it yet). While in Bath, England at the GCN HQ, I worked with two exceptional individuals (image [...]
The ability to respond to our lives as a challenge separates us from our primitive forbearers because our evolved brain gives us the opportunity to resist our most basic instincts (though not easily). The fundamental goal behind the challenge response is to pause rather than act instinctively, deactivate the amygdala, engage our cerebral cortex, and [...]
The off-season is an immensely important time to pursue your triathlon goals. You can get fitter in the pool, on your bike, and out running. You can improve your swim technique. You can rehab injuries. And, with the 2022 race season just around the corner (or already begun for some) you can take all of [...]
