I'm contacted frequently by sports and technology companies asking me to promote their products. In every single case, I have declined their invitations. I have only ever partnered with a company when I reached out to the company because I discovered their products, bought them, used them, and loved them. When I partner with a [...]
I'm so exciting to show off my new Jakroo custom cycling kit for 2023. I've been a huge fan of Jakroo since 2019 when I designed and bought my first Jakroo triathlon and cycling kits upon my re-entry into triathlon. I have since partnered with them on new kits in 2021 and 2023. Jakroo excels [...]

Also, for most age-group triathletes, time is a precious commodity in limited supply, so it’s important that you get the most out of your training efforts. You [...]
One of the strangest and most effective tools I’ve come across to manage intense effort and exertion pain is something that we do often without realizing how powerful it truly is. Let me explain. A few years ago, I was working with a pro triathlete who was having a terrible track workout. She wasn’t hitting [...]
I thought all the cycling dads (and moms) would appreciate this cartoon that appeared in a recent issue of The New Yorker. The artist, Maggie Larsen, is clearly a cyclist, but clearly not an obsessed cyclist (or triathlete). There is a long list of other "essential" cycling items that any serious cyclists "needs" to be [...]
Over the last few years, I’ve established great relationships with some outstanding sports companies. I’ve partnered with them because they embody what I value most in sports-related products: innovation, superior quality, and leading-edge performance.
