Update: I was able to fix the image rotation for iPhone/Safari users. However the picture sizes are still wrong for some of the pictures. No idea why. Warning long post! 😀 Gigathlon provides an unbelievable wealth of experiences. To start with I wanted to say a big thanks to Amy & Marcel who made my […]
The Flughafenlauf is a nice race where you ran around the airport. (as the German name indicates). In preparation for Gigathlon, this would be another test to see where I’m at fitness-wise. However to keep it fun I decided to go back to the basics and just run by feeling. Last year I ran it […]
Amy and I had signed up for the Red Bull World Run a while ago. It sounded like a fun new experience. For those not familiar with the RedBull World Run. You start running on course and 30 min after you start a catcher car (finish line) starts driving and slowly accelerating until it has […]
I never wrote about it on this blog, but Amy and I are taking a break from Ironman racing. At least for me racing wasn’t fun anymore. So we were looking for some fun endurance race to rekindle the fun. Since, we are back in Switzerland what better than one of my all time favorite […]
The preparation for this race was anything but ideal. I mentioned it before that I tried to get the fun back into sport and one aspect to that was not to log countless hours. Right when I wanted to turn up the training by a notch I had to fly to Switzerland on a very […]

Lead up to the race I had a great 10k time and decent running volume almost as much as I did for Ironman training minus the biking and swimming. I knew that I wasn’t in top shape and I still carried an additional 10 lbs compared to previous years. I was thinking a lot about […]
5k – Valentine’s Day Dash – Love’em or Leave’em First race of 2016. My fitness wasn’t that great yet, but good enough to race a 5k. Compared to previous years I am 10-15lbs heavier, which I knew would affect my race. I didn’t have much data to go by, but was planning on not starting […]
In January of 2015, I had been reading a blog about picking a focus word for the year. It sounded completely silly… except for after I was done reading the article, I kept thinking about it. The word ‘commit’ settled deeply into my mind as the goal for this year. Commit to the training necessary […]
Ironman Arizona was a quick turn around from the last race, with only 5 weeks in between. After Ironman Louisville I was excited for Arizona, all I wanted was my best race and a new PR. I was ready to train some more and polish up my form for Arizona. While my coach had lots […]
