My fall racing season was coming up and I had suddenly lost some motivation to put in the big training hours. Coming off a huge race like Hy-Vee is actually a downer. Suddenly the bait is gone and you have to mentally move on to new things which is tough to do in a short period. Coinciding with

The third time is the charm. 2011 is the third consecutive year that Jordan Jones traveled to Westchester, New York to participate in one of the largest triathlons in the Northeast. In 2009, in his first Olympic distance race after breaking his leg in June, Jordan crashed on the winding and slick

With a career best, 4th place at an Ironman 70.3, this past weekend I also found myself grateful for learning another valuable lesson as an athlete (and as a human being) the importance of staying flexible! First and foremost I am very pleased with my solid result at the Muskoka 70.3, north of Tor

The 5150 Hy-Vee Championship race was my goal this season and the effort to qualify was worth the effort. A purse of $1,000,000, 60 of the best non-drafting athletes in the world, and a huge crowd made this the best race I've ever competed in. As soon as Amy and I landed in Des Moines, we were imp

With 8 weeks between my last race, Boulder Peak, and Hy-Vee, 70.3 Boulder was a nice opportunity to break up the tough training and get in a race without having to travel. I haven't seriously competed in a half distance race since 2007 and was excited to test myself over the distance. My achilles

I’ve just returned home from what I consider to be a very successful two weeks. My adventure began, as I had intuitively expected with a great performance at the Rev 3 Portland half Iron-distance race with a very solid 7th place finish. The Professional field at this race was quite stacked with

Since I managed to break 1 hour for the Boulder Peak bike course which is a goal for others out there, I'm posting my power data from the race. I didn't feel too great during the race but was happy to manage to go under an hour which has been a goal of mine. I did it on my Trek Speed Concept 9.9

Coming off of my best racing of the season at 5150 Washington DC I was pumped up and feeling ready for Boulder Peak. I started race the Peak when I was an amateur and have raced it around 5 times now. The climb up Old Stage and the fans lining the run course always have me excited to race. The
