TheMAGIC5 swim goggles are, hands down, the best goggles I've ever used. That was true 4 years ago and that is still true today after using their latest version.
APOLOGIES! I just discovered that my last 2 audio files were not recorded with my good microphone (those darn Windows settings!). I promise, better audio next week.

You've all heard the expression "less is more" and that is true for regular life as well as triathlon. I'll break down what this looks like in triathlon training, and ask yourself if you ever do a little (or a lot) more than necessary.

Do you ever notice voices in your head? During a race do they ever try and convince you to slow down? Or tell you this hurts too much or that you are going too slow or that this is going to be a disappointing experience?
If so, you can be prepared with a rebuttal. You can direct those voices in a certain direction. No arguing, no fretting, no agonizing doubts, only confident direction. You are in control!
FTP. Functional Threshold Power. The more the better, right? Sure, to a point. But you've no doubt been beaten by someone with a lower FTP than you. How is that possible? Stick around to find out.

Given that we swim, bike and run a lot it's inevitable that things happen to us that make for good stories. Today was one of those days, so strap in for story time!

We've all been there - it's the end of the racing season and we are DONE. No more getting up early, no more watching what we eat, we are cooked! So, we take a couple of months off, gain a bunch of weight until one day, we get excited about training again. But it takes us months to get back to where we were. But we do it and we have a fun season but then, by the end, we are DONE! Rinse and repeat. So, how do we get off that m...
This week is a real stream of consciousness episode! Buckle up!

We lost another triathlete to an IDIOT driver! We need to do all we can to stay visible and alert out on the roads. RIP Hannah Henry :(

In the winter of 2017/2018 I woke up one morning to discover that my brain had been bleeding! I progressively became profoundly deaf in one ear with limited vision in one eye and experienced extreme dizziness. Thus began my quest to see if I would ever swim, bike or run again.
In this episode I challenge the notion that we should "overcome" obstacles rather than define them and find ways to work over, under or through them.
This is it! Episode 1, where it all started.
I think you'll find that there aren't many triathlon podcasts like this one: I'm not a coach, I'm not a nutritionist, I'm not an interviewer, I'm just like most of you. I'm an amateur age group triathlete.
I aspire to inspire. I'm content to produce authentic content.
Let's be a little less lonely. Together.
Pardon the audio, it gets better, I promise (we all have to start somewhere).
