IRONMAN 70.3: Augusta GA 2022 Race Report

IRONMAN 70.3: Augusta GA 2022 Race Report

Another race, another Ironman 70.3 but this time in Augusta, GA! I really want to say that I was 100% prepared for this race and was confident that I gave my best possible effort… well home and work and other ideas and I was not consistent, I could not get myself to perform, took way too many rest weeks (yes… weeks) since Virginia Blue Ridge that it would be impossible to truly achieve my best. What I did is the best I could for that race day and had an amazing weekend with friends. [ Read More... ]

IRONMAN 70.3: Virginia Blue Ridge 2022 Race Report

I’m happy to report I’ve done my first triathlon in almost three years, and I returned to the sport by completing the Ironman 70.3 Virginia Blue Ridge (VBR) race. I’ll be forthcoming, I was a little nervous at first with my terrible performance at Luray, but I felt that I learned where my weaknesses were from that event which allowed me to focus on…. which was pretty much everything.

Luray 2021 Olympic Duathlon Race Report

Can you believe your eyes?! Yes a Race Report! First one in almost two years, as the last time I wrote anything was in 2019 for the TIN 14.06 Sprint! I wish this race report was full of accolades and show how wonderful I did maintaining my health over such a long period of time, but my performance was the result of what my body can do at this time. 100%… I did the best that I could do on race day and it was terrible.

Reston Olympic 2019 Race Report

Reston Olympic 2019 Race Report

Every race is unique to its own. I’m learning that more and more as I’ve now documented nearly 40 race reports, and this is the first time that I (successfully) completed the same race three times. This weekend I participated in the 36th annual Reston Triathlon. The first two times I did this race was back in 2014 (undocumented) and 2015. Fortunately, I did have enough information in the 2015 post to compare my new results, but the more I read the more I realized the day of the race makes a difference. [ Read More... ]
