Over the last few years, I’ve established great relationships with some outstanding sports companies. I’ve partnered with them because they embody what I value most in sports-related products: innovation, superior quality, and leading-edge performance. In today’s installment of Meet My Partners for 2022, I am thrilled to introduce you to SLF Motion, a company that designs [...]
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. At the same time, I would argue that the biggest winner of the event was Lionel Sanders. Lionel [...]
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 [...]

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 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 [...]
As the 2022 triathlon season gets underway, I’ve been working with a number of triathletes, from juniors up to pros. Additionally, I’m practicing what I preach as I prepare myself for a full schedule of racing locally, nationally (USAT Multisport Festival in Texas in April and USAT National Age-group Championships in Milwaukee in August), and [...]
