Friday I won my second race of 2016, the Garmin Israman 113 Triathlon, with a time of 4:27:12. While I won with a substantial margin over Evert Scheltinga (4:36:38) and his brother Deiderik (4:41:10) of the Netherlands, I can say that without a doubt the course was the most challenging of any triathlon I’ve done.

Q&A With Garmin
After the Lifetime Fitness Championships in Oceanside, California, I talked to the folks at Garmin about the race, andd the pressures I felt leading up to it. The interview came out better than what I could have produced in my excited but exausted post-race euphoria, so I’m reposting this interview from the Garmin Connect Blog […]
2014 Ironman 70.3 World Championships
On Sunday in Mont Tremblant, a ski resort town in Quebec, I raced the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. I placed 11th and was the first American finisher in 3:50:10. This was my first year committing to this distance I learned a ton through the experience. Before I arrived in Mont Tremblant I made a point […]
Panasonic New York City Triathlon 2014 Champion
Sunday I won the Panasonic New York City Triathlon, the fourth race in the Lifetime Fitness Series and my second win out of the four races. I’m really starting to hit my stride this season, and I’m really excited for the next few competitions. Rounding out the podium were two awesome runners, Kaleb VanOrt and […]
Lifetime Fitness Triathlon Minneapolis
Saturday I won the Lifetime Fitness Triathlon in Minneapolis. When I started racing professionally, Lifetime was the most prestigious race in Olympic Distance non-drafting, and it has been a dream of mine to be able to put a victory from that race on my resume. The fact that it still draws one of the most […]

I won the race decisively, posting the fastest split for each of the three disciplines and finishing in 1 hour, 55 minutes […]
Training Trip–St Croix
About a month ago it occurred to me that Abby wouldn’t need to be in Chicago for about 6 weeks. She just finished her second year of medical school and has over a month to study for her Step 1 medical boards. After that she starts rotations and will never have another vacation until she’s […]
Monterrey Ironman 70.3
I wrote a race recap a week ago on my flight home from Mexico, but at the time I was still really confused about my race and I didn’t know how to describe the race without sounding like I was making up excuses. Now that I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out what happened I’ll tell […]
On the Cobb
This year I have partnered with Cobb Cycling, which is a company run by one of my heroes in the sport of triathlon: John Cobb. John is an incredibly innovative engineer who has disrupted the cycling industry several times by creating products which break paradigms and force us to rethink what we look for in […]
Miami 70.3 Race Video on YouTube
Here’s a video that City Bikes Miami 70.3 put out. There are a some great shots of me from the helicopter. (I’m the guy wearing mostly white on a black Cervelo P5. I’m also the guy without other riders near him.) If I had a dance remix soundtrack playing during the race I think it […]
