So I hopped into this group ride...

The Astana team rolled out of the Embassy Suites this morning for their training ride and I was there sliding into the back of this pack with some of the best in the world. At the first stoplight I saw Chris Horner and called him out, "Yo Horner". He was totally cool and rode with me almost to Tramway. Once he and I were laughing together I figured Bruyneel and Galopin wouldn't give me the boot out of his teams ride. It was media day with a caravan of 10 or so cars with camera lenses sticking out of them. Speaking of sticking out, I stuck out like a sore thumb in my red jacket, black shorts, and Cannondale SuperSix bike.

A debilitating disease known as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) affects nearly 400,000 Americans.

USA Triathlon National Championships Wrap-Up

Life's Priorities: Training, Riding & Giving Back

...When I did make the decision to tackle a full-ironman tri, I also realized that I needed to do two things: to get more serious about my training as well as get myself a proper bicycle. During the last half-ironman, my legs felt flat towards the middle of the run. While this points to a shortcoming in my training plan, I also knew it was due in part to an inadequate bike setup.

Part 2 of 3: The WildFlower Triathlon

Three days after the St. Anthony's Triathlon, I was back on the plane for the long journey across the states to California to race Wildflower on Lake San Antonio. Upon arriving at the airport in San Louis Obispo the weather was significantly different from Florida. Chilly, humid, and a bit windy...I began to wonder what race day weather would be like. So far all of my races have been hot and humid- I was getting used to that kind of weather...
