As per usual, I will kick off this post where the last one left off. Shortly after my failed attempt at racing IRONMAN Lake Placid, I was debating on what to do next. Originally I had not intended to race IRONMAN Wisconsin, but a few things put it back on my radar. I really liked … More IRONMAN Wisconsin
We’ll start this story with the lead up to the race following IRONMAN Cork. It’s no secret that Ireland took it’s toll on me both physically and mentally.

All the great experiences we’ve had and beautiful places we’ve seen have almost seemed to slow down time these past couple of weeks. Immediately upon leaving Tucson, we headed to Show Low, Arizona which is … More Life In Grand Junction
