Colorado Triathlon Company – Feature
I might not be racing much in 2016, but I’m still part of the team. The social media director put together a nice little feature in the latest communication:

A look back: 2014 was quite a year
As we launch forth into 2015, I want to take a look back as we close out the year. 2014 was a year unlike any other I’ve experienced. Collectively, I spent more time training (376 hours), crushed a few previous PRs (-49:32 in the 70.3), made some great new friends, finished my first Ironman and
Had to know this was coming…
On the heels of a pretty decent swim on Tuesday morning, between 8am and 5pm when I was supposed to leave for the run, my condition rapidly deteriorated. Skipping the run was a no-brainer and I was in bed by 7pm with Antibiotics on board and rapidly swelling tonsils. By Thursday, I was a total
How do you fight the off-season blues?

EK Training Camp – A Look Back
Over the last 5 days, I was able to experience something new. Since I completed my last “2-A-Days” in 1997, I could have never dreampt that in my mid-30s, I would once again return to training camp. A training camp put on by my coach. Wait, I have a coach? I think High School Ken
Recon on the Ironman Boulder Bike course
Rode 94 of 112 miles checking out primarily the east side of the course. We skipped Carter Lake and downtown Boulder. Couldn’t have picked a better day!
Sunday Masters @ Rally
Only one week left until the tri season kickoff at the Summer Open!
Sometimes you just have to shut it down
Rest is probably the most commonly neglected aspect of triathlon training and can be one of the hardest pieces to fit in. We all jump in the pool, climb in the bike or lace up for a hard interval run without a second thought and that’s how it should be. Taking a day off, or
