2018 Season
Hey all, After about 6 months off and away from the sport, I am back and ready to get after it. I was mentally and physically burnt out after Ironman Arizona last year. I took time off and then trained a little here and there for a couple months. I got back into decent shape for Rocky Point Tri in April and then hit a wall in terms of motivation. I needed time away from the sport. Whether you are new to the sport or have been doing it for 10 years, make sure you take time days off every once in awhile,...
Ironman AZ – Nothing ventured, nothing gained
It was always a dream of mine to compete in Ironman AZ (Arizona) as a professional triathlete. Because I live in Phoenix, which is very close to Tempe where the race is held, I had gone and watched the race a few times in previous years. It was not my intention to move up in distance so quickly but with the race being local I decided to give it a shot. After Vineman 70.3 I was really discouraged and felt burnt out. I also had to start my new job and put my time and energy into that. I pretty much had 8...
Vineman 70.3 – Better Late than Never
A lot has happened in the past few months. After graduating from TCU I began searching for a job. I interviewed some, got rejected some, and then finally got a job. I was thrilled and very grateful to be selected for my ideal job for right now. I am currently working as a wellness specialist in Scottsdale, AZ for Vanguard. On the triathlon side of things it’s been hard to adjust to the working and training lifestyle but I’ve managed. I was not able to race as much as I would have liked the...

Tempe International
I decided to race Tempe International as it’s one of the few open water races that exist in Arizona and it’s only about a 15 minute drive from home. It was nice to sleep in my own bed for once instead of a hotel room with people stomping on the floor above you at 3am, like...

Someone once said “Some days you’re the hammer and some days you’re the nail.” I was the nail in Clemson at Collegiate Nationals. In other words, having bad races is part of any sport. After some time reflecting on a disappointing race for me, I’ve decided...
Texas 70.3
Sorry in advance for the long post, but there’s a lot to talk about! Last Sunday I raced Ironman Texas 70.3 in Galveston, TX, an island about 45 minutes south of Houston right on the coast in the Gulf of Mexico. It didn’t really feel like Texas to me. This was my first...
Bevoman SMW Conference ...
This was my final collegiate conference championship race, down in Austin, Texas at Pace Bend State Park on Lake Travis. The University of Texas triathlon club put on the race and did an excellent job. It was fun to finally have a collegiate-only race and a real open water swim for our...
