I recently was interviewed for the second time for the Effortless Swimming podcast with Brenton Ford. In this podcast, I discuss mental strategies that swimmers and triathletes can use to have a strong swim start to finish, whether in an open-water swim, swim meet, or in the first leg of a triathlon. To watch or [...]
The 2022 USAT Age-group National Championships in Milwaukee two weeks ago was supposed to be a triumphal follow-up for Miguel Mattox and Jenna Haufler, two of the top amateur triathletes in the U.S. with whom I work (both have given me permission to use their names and tell their stories) who absolutely crushed it at [...]

What’s the most difficult part of a triathlon for you? Few people will say the beginning because they are excited and full of energy at the start of the race. Some say the middle of a race, particularly those doing 70.3s and Ironmans, because they’ll have been out on the course for several hours, are [...]
I was recently interviewed for the Effortless Swimming podcast by its founder and host, Brenton Ford. In the podcast, I talk about how the mind impacts swimming comfort (especially in open water) and performance. I discuss confidence, intensity, focus, and fear, and offer lots of practical tools you can use to swim with greater confidence [...]
Yes, Kristian Blummenfelt won the 2021 Ironman World Championships in St. George, Utah recently (I know, it’s 2022; how absurd is that!), a truly impressive performance given that this race was only his second Ironman-distance race ever.
