    Ironman Arizona 2017 Race Report

    Where to even begin? With the sign up? The training? The countdown? Arriving in Tempe? Or race morning itself? The process has been so overwhelming and all consuming that it’s difficult to find any one point of entry from where to begin the report.

    2017 Santa Barbara Long Course Triathlon Race Report

    “I want you to feel the pain.” Ominous words from Coach Jim. I had called to ask for a race plan but had instead gotten vague and mildly distressing instructions. “I want you to be aggressive.”

    2017 Dwight Crum Pier-to-Pier Race Report

    This was a tough race but one that left me with a lot of valuable lessons, both in the sport of swimming but also in the sport of life. I’m super thankful to be part of such a great community that encourages these lifestyle shenanigans. The Dwight Crum Pier to Pier race is a 2-mile swim that starts at the Hermosa Pier and ends at the Manhattan Pier. It’s a great family and community event that dates back several decades. This was my second time participating.

    Triathlon Magazine: Interview with Coach Gerry

    Coach Gerry has been one of my favorite people and mentors for several years. I spent a summer photographing ocean swim shenanigans at Lifeguard Tower 26 in Santa Monica (the actual tower for which the club is named), and have enjoyed seeing my pictures used in various publications throughout the triathlon community. Here’s a cool interview Coach Gerry did with Triathlon Magazine that uses one of my photos:
