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

After two straight second place finishes at the Littlefoot Triathlon the past two years, I went into this race hungry for the win. My fiancee, Amy Dannwolf, nearly thwarted my hopes. With her excellent work as race director, the race attracted a solid pro field and winning would be a challenge.

Last weekend, several Riptide guys took part in the Wheat Ridge Cyclery ride for the Livestrong Foundation. It was a great 38 mi ride with police support that started at Wheat Ridge Cyclery, went over Dinosaur Ridge, and stopped at Red Rocks before turning around and heading back. At Red Rocks, ther

Triathletes at all levels put in hours every week of training, spend hundreds of dollars on the newest and greatest gear, and do a countless number of other things all for the same purpose - to get faster come race day. Time does matter, or people wouldn't act as such. There are a lot of element

We've just launched a new weekly newsletter to keep you informed of what's going on with the Riptide team. We'll often have prize giveaways with the newsletter and for the April 6th newsletter the winner will get a case of Mix1. Note that the weekly newsletter will only have news from the R

After dutifully enduring years of not fast enough swim splits, often at the hands of those in swim skins, I decided it was time to get on board and buy one. My Rocket Science Sports Rocket 2Skin arrived in the mail Tuesday and I brought it to our Riptide Team practice that night. You can also see

On Friday, nearly our whole team will be going to Mazatlan, Mexico for the ITU Mazatlan Continental Cup on Saturday. The field looks to be stacked, with about 60 guys and 30 women. In 2008 the waves there were pretty nasty which could make things fun. The waves weren't too big at the start bu

Thought I'd share this since it's awesome. Tyler Volz at Wheat Ridge Cyclery showed me this bad larry. 12.4 lbs I think he said and it certainly felt it. The handlebar grips are the best part. Hard to see but trust me, they're nice. Black and red with an odd stickiness to them. Paint
