I think this is my fourth time doing this race. Coming into the race I was feeling pretty good about my level of fitness and my shot at breaking 5 hours. That was my goal. Sub 5 at a half-ironman distance event. I knew I could cruise the swim and still have a decent time…

Injuries
Being injured is never fun and even less fun when you know you could have probably avoided it. I had some really run training while we were in Florida. I managed to get probably 5 of the 7 days we were there. It was great, considering that back home we were getting pounded with snow…
Snow, snow and more snow…..
This has to be one of the worst winters in the Boston area ever. According to the Weather people on TV we are in the top 10 of just about every category at this point and heading for number one. We have had over 80 inches of snow and there is a storm coming this…
An increase in FTP…
Most triathletes are always trying to increase their FTP. What is FTP? FTP is Functional Threshold Power, or the number of the maximum number of Watts that you can hold for 1 hour. Most people don’t really do a full hour long test. Instead it is some form of 20 or 30 minute Max effort…

I’ve started planning my 2015 season. So far the only race I have been able to sign up for is the Patriot Half. I like this race a lot, because it is a fast flat course. If the sun is out, the run get get a little hot, but other than that it is a…

Shoulder Separation – The Orthopedic
On August 18th, 2014 I went to see Dr. Brandon Earp at Brigham and Women’s. She specializes in hand, elbow and shoulder injuries and had operated on my friend Brian’s hand. I was fortunate enough to get an appoint the first day I was back from vacation. At this point I really wanted to know…
Separated Shoulder
On August 9th, 2014 the family took a vacation down to Ocean City, MD. The drive down took a little over 8 hours and traffic really wasn’t bad at all. Waze had us go over the George Washington on the way down through NY. We arrived around 4 o’clock unpacked and walked over to the…
Ironman Lake Placid 2013 – Race Report
The end of the journey to my second Ironman started early. I had set the alarm for 4:30am, but ended up not needing it. Breakfast consisted of a couple of bagels with cream cheese. I also drank a bottle of my custom drink mix to make sure I was hydrated and ready to go. My…
