Sorry guys and girls – no update this week. I am spending the week in Vermont, rocking my ski moves.
January is over and its time to get back in the saddle after a few months of non-stop strength training and swimming. To get started I headed to Coach Draper’s 7am Saturday CompuTrainer class with my trusted old BMC Timemachine for a threshold test. I hadn’t really been on a bike since October, so I was pretty interested in seeing where I was from a fitness perspective. The test was simple: 30 min warm up building power so I would … →
Most days, I look forward to my training sessions. Sometimes it’s what is immediately in front of me that motivates me: A nice warm summer day when I can’t wait getting on my bike, cruising around the beautiful areas of New Jersey (yes – they are there). It can be the feeling in my body the day after a rest day, when every nerve and fiber of the body is ready fire again. Or it can be the expectation that … →
I’m all for trying out new things in my training. When new gadgets, shoes, clothes etc emerge from the deep dark caves of the marketing departments I’m game, but this time Reebok took it too far.

Today I signed up for my main B-race of the season: The 2013 NJ State Triathlon!
I haven’t had a thorough look at the 2013 season yet, but when the New Jersey state triathlon announced that it was going to be the Mid-Atlantic regional championship for 2013 I just had to sign up
My December was pretty terrible from a training perspective. I couldn’t shake the flu I had and going a week to Spain didn’t exactly help. I brought running clothes, cycling kit and swim trunks to Spain. After 7 days they hadn’t been taken out of the bag yet…
I’m off to Spain and the Team Novo Nordisk training camp in Valencia – I know life is hard… I’ll be back net week. Until then – get out and train…
I ended the 2012 season with a fair swim condition but still far away from where I want to be in 2013. After a full November without any swim sessions, I met up with Coach Draper for a swim evaluation, that would set the structure for my winter swim training.
First bike ride in 5 weeks. Feel like this guy…
