Professional Triathlon “Union” — Why Words Matter (And What PTU Can Do About It)

“Words, words, words.”  ― William Shakespeare, Hamlet Words matter.  While we all may spew thousands of words a day and think of many of those words as throwaways, the words we use have meaning.  In some cases, lots of meaning.  When we wrote about the Professional Triathlon Union (“PTU”) last week, we Read more…

If I Ran The World – Challenge Atlantic City

As many of you know I raced Challenge Atlantic City last weekend.  I also participated (and crashed) in the race in 2014 and after the race I wrote a blog about my thoughts on how the race could improve.  I figured now is the time for the one year check Read more…

One Year Crashiversary (Challenge Atlantic City Race Report)

Just over one year ago my Challenge Atlantic City ended in the hospital rather than at the finish line. Since that crash there’s been a bit of tumult in my life — both related and unrelated to the crash itself.  Despite a less than perfect year, I really wanted to go Read more…

Some Unsolicited Advice for Challenge Family and Rev 3

Last week Rev 3 and Challenge Family announced a merger whereby all Rev 3 races would become Challenge Events beginning in 2015 (in reality it looks more like an acquisition by Challenge of Rev 3, I’m guessing no actual money exchanged hands and that Challenge simply assumed Rev 3’s debt).

Grading on a Curve — The Inaugural Challenge Atlantic City

There Are Two Types of Cyclists . . .

There’s a joke in the cycling community — there are two types of cyclists in the world, those who have crashed and those who are going to crash.  Yesterday at Challenge Atlantic City, I fell into the former category.  The race week started off really well.  We had a big Read more…

Challenge Atlantic City Day One

Yesterday we finally left Connecticut for Challenge Atlantic City.  Atlantic City will be my seventh 140.6 triathlon and at this point I feel as if I have the pre-race preparation down cold.  My routine is to lay everything out on the bed to make sure I have everything.  I’ve gotten Read more…
