For those triathletes in need of a new wetsuit, or just want to get their hands on the fastest wetsuit on Earth (or rather, in the water!), deboer is having an amazing deal! If you buy a new Fjord 3.0 (the chosen wetsuits of Jan Frodeno, Kristen Blummenfelt, Chelsea Sodaro, and Gustav Iden), you get [...]
I am absolutely beside myself with excitement to announce Argon 18 bicycles as my newest partner for 2024 and my "title partner" that will receive top billing in supporting their brand. If you're not familiar with Argon 18, they are a Canadian-based bicycle manufacturer that has been building exceptional bikes since 1989. Argon 18 is [...]
I just returned from Clash Miami, part of the Clash Endurance series that is held at motor speedways in Florida, where I raced in the Sprint on Saturday and what I called the Olympic + (6 miles longer bike, 2 miles longer run) on Sunday. In a nutshell, my mind was in its best place [...]
The goal for every determined triathlete—the Holy Grail of our sport, you might say—is the ability to maintain or even increase effort and decrease (or at least minimize) the exertion pain you feel during hard workouts and in races. The problem, as we can all attest to, is that it is extremely difficult to resist [...]
When triathletes think about technology, they typically think about HR monitors, bike computers, power meters, GPS, and the like. Yet, sports technology has been around long before the invention of the silicon chip and the internet. In fact, every advancement that has enabled triathletes to swim (e.g., goggles), bike (e.g., aerobars), and run (e.g., carbon plates) [...]

In this interview with Jaimie Fuller, the Chairman of eo SwimBETTER, I describe the incredible benefits that their handsets have brought me [...]
In today’s installment of Meet My Partners for 2024, I don’t introduce you to a company that designs and manufactures exceptional sports products, but rather to an individual who “designs and manufactures” exceptional endurance athletes. I’m talking about Dr. Greg Rhodes, a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology and an internationally recognized authority on endurance-sport training and an [...]
I was recently interviewed by Travis Mundell, the host of The Daily Tri. In the wide-ranging conversation, we discussed whether triathletes should take a break after a triathlon season ends, preparation for the 2024 triathlon season, what kind of fuel should motivate you, developing good training habits, how to deal with setbacks, what makes the [...]
An unfortunate reality of being a committed triathlete is that you will likely experience minor, yet nagging, injuries with some frequency during the course of your triathlon career. You know what I’m talking about. Those little injuries that don’t involve serious physical trauma to muscles, tendons, or bones (usually just a pull rather than a [...]
In today’s installment of Meet My 2024 Partners, I’m beyond excited to introduce you to FORM smart swim goggles. First, some back story. I didn’t grow up swimming; I was firmly placed in the “non-drowning” category. I didn’t do my first lap or side breathing until well into adulthood. I suffered from what Lionel Sanders called [...]
