I recently learned a very expensive lesson: buying a wetsuit manufactured outside of your own country can cost you a lot in the end. My wetsuit, which I scrimped and saved for to buy prior to IMAZ 2017, I thought was covered with a manufacture warranty. Coupled with the (up to then) great customer service…
This last weekend, I spent Saturday on the bike for 40 miles doing basically hill after hill…after hill. Sunday, I went out for a run (Well, actually, a wog- click here for info on that!) on those same hills, for another ~12 miles. I also spent almost an hour in my Normatec compression boots on…
It seems so simple. Chapstick.

Just 500 square feet, including our bed, 2 road bikes, 1 tandem bike, a small kitchen, bathroom, and his brewing equipment. And I…
Eat this. Don’t eat that. Eat exactly this every “x” minutes on the race course. Eat carbs. No, wait! Eat high fat. Wait. . . AGHH! How is anyone supposed to eat right for a long distance Tri with all this technical, math heavy (and expensive) diet advice! Answer: Is doesn’t have to be this…
If you’re like me, you tough it out after a bike accident, if nothing seems broken at the time. If you’re moving, your first worry is about your bike. Then you’ll squirt you’re water bottle over the blood draining down your leg, then climb back on the bike (assuming your helmet didn’t hit). In my…
