Relaxing and tubing in Clear Creek has become a favorite pastime of mine and Jordan's over the past month. Every weekend we make the mile trek down to the closest thing to a beach, 1000 miles from the Ocean. Along the banks of the creek we stand with what feels like every other Golden resident.

The past couple of weeks have been absolutely perfect for racing and training around Sierra Nevada. Two weeks ago I defended my Pyramid Lake Triathlon win from last season with a new course record, and I was faster in each of the swim, bike, and run legs so that is encouraging. Garmin data from

Saturday was the Coteau-Du-Lac (Hill-on-the-Lake) Triathlon in Quebec, Canada. This was 1 of 2 ITU races held in Canada this year. The trip was a family affair for me as my grandparents live in Montreal. I went there every Christmas when I was a lad and hadn't forgotten my love of Shreddries c

I didn't know about triathlon until high school and didn't compete in one until my senior year of college, but I grew up dreaming of competing in a World Cup. No, not an ITU World Cup, but the FIFA World Cup. The World Cup. Now they have a women's World Cup, but that wasn't around when I was c

Yesterday evening Ryan Borger, Cailee Anderson, Chris Athey, and myself attended the grand opening of Wheat Ridge Cyclery's multisport section. What an event! Great food, great eye candy (in the way of bikes), and great people, including Craig Alexander. Before the festivities got underway we
