Hawaii is just under 14 weeks away. The Ironman Triathlon World Championships. The race that ends all other races. I am thinking about this race every single training session that I do. It feels like it is next week, my focus is so clear, yet I also feel I have plenty of time to get [...]
Today is not my rest day, yesterday was, yet today I am resting, because I’m tired and don’t feel like training. As much as I want to lay in bed and do nothing, I know that if I don’t accomplish something today, I will be more tired tomorrow for the depression of getting nothing done [...]

My thoughts. What if I will never be as good as Chris McCormack? I am so happy that he got up and won, and showed us how good he is, beyond any doubt, an absolute legend in one of the most competitive races ever. But he rode so strong and ran bloody fast too. Will [...]
I love that I understand my body and mind better each time I prepare for a big race. The last two days were the worst and best days of my Hawaii preparation so far. On Sunday I couldn’t ride. I was flat as a pancake. It was sunny and warm outside (for a change), but [...]
Here’s a race report from my win at Philippines Ironman 70.3 It was five weeks from Challenge Roth to Ironman 70.3 Philippines. I had about 5 days rest, then started one session per day through 2nd week. The 3rd week training was good and consistent (##km), 4th week built a little more, 5th week I [...]
It’s been two weeks since Challenge Roth, and I’m struggling with jetlag and antibiotics, as well as residual muscle tightness from doing such a tough event. Combined, these factors are making me feel pretty ordinary, tired, and at times struggling for motivation. There is only weeks until my next race, and I really want to [...]
Again I return to Roth. It is the 4th time at this Challenge race for me, and every year it gets better, for me, and for everyone who comes to spectate or participate. From the expo in the days before to the finishline late at night, this event entertains them all. I love coming here [...]
I put this clip together today. It’s just a bit of footage of me swimming, but it is something I have wanted to see for myself for a long time. I hope it works and is ok. I will do more in the future and make them better next time. This was my first time [...]
Ok, so i have been busy now that i’m back in training. long easy rides, a few run sessions, and more km’s in the pool than ever. It has been great to feel so motivated and inspired to be my best. Please excuse the typo’s, i have not yet loaded word onto my new Macbook [...]
