I travel quite a bit in my job. Sometimes I will go to a plant and find they have facilities where I can stick with my normal routine and run at lunch and the ride later that evening. But sometimes that just doesn't seem to work out. Last week was o…

Andy Rosebrook commented on Kati Derrick's blog post 'Dialing in the Race Nutrition'
Bummer about not being able to use chicken broth. After about 10 hours, I find chicken broth to be a godsend. I always reached a point where I just couldn't stomach the thought of another gel or bottle of gatorade. So changing to hot soup with lots…

Well winter may not be officially over yet but after a month of 4 major stroms and 78" shovelled from my driveway last month, all that has melted away and 55 degrees feels like shorts and T shirt weather. My new bike (my first real Tri Bike, a Kestr…

Great race-Go Sonja. Love the video. Relative to the "incident" did you follow your normal pre run routine. I would imagine with the limited facilities out at the race site you may have changed things up a bit. Seems like you went from 20 oz every 6…

Well I added a rather unintentional leg aspect to my experiment by picking the absolute worst time to run out of UltraGen. I ran out and kept procastinating reording then went on the road for a week with no internet so I couldn't order and then fina…

Over the holidays, it is always a challenge to stick with my plan and not eat way, way too much. Well I actually succeeded in one of those two area this year. I got a run in before the road trip to my parents, a planned day off on X-mas, and a ride…

Great Post Andy. I wish we could get a sample pack of all the flavors. I'm having trouble deciding which ones to order and will probably get a tub of each anyways. Great job on that PR! 1:02 is totally HAULIN'!

Continuing with my EFS and UltraGen experiement Week #2. I was on the road most of the week so I got some cold weather running in at the plant (1.65 miles loop with a hill inside the fence). I made the week a run focus, with a few good efforts. Did…

I would recommend you start with the EFS liquid shot and use it in all workouts, short or long. You can dilute the flask down so its 100 calories for short workouts or a full 400 calories for long workouts. Just top off with water once you put the c…

About me
39 year old married father of 2 tireless boys (12 and 9). Started doing Triathlons in 2003 after 14 years of inactivity and discovering I was a couch potatoe. After losing 65 pounds, I jumpd in and competed in my first sprint triathlon on a dare and I've been hooked ever since. Did my first Olympic in 2004, first HIM in 2005, IMFL in 2006, got selected for the Kona Lottery and competed at the IMWC in 2007, ran the Boston Marathon in 2008, IMAZ in 2008, and IMUK in 2009. I have completed 4 ironmans, 8 marathons, 11 half ironmans, 18 half marathons,and about 50 triathlons and duathalons since 2003. I love the triathlon lifestyle and am passionate how it has helped me to improve my physical and mental health, improved my confidence, and even helped my performance at work.

Brick, Brick, Brick, Brick. Gotta love it!!!

I travel quite a bit in my job. Sometimes I will go to a plant and find they have facilities where I can stick with my normal routine and run at lunch and the ride later that evening. But sometimes that just doesn't seem to work out. Last week was one of those weeks. I'm just one of those people who really does not like to get out of bed before dawn to workout, race yes, train no. As a result, I take advantage of those weeks to do some bricks. I did a reverse brick (run- bike), and standard b

Viva La Revolution-Quazzy style

Last weekend (Actually June 5th and 6th- this post was a bit late) I officially became old, turning 40 on Sunday. But like any good triathlete I had to make sure my thirties went out in style. So I signed up for a completed the Revolution at last weekend's Rev 3 tri at Quazzy, CT. The Revolution involved doing the Olympic Rev on Saturday and then the Half Rev on Sunday on one of the more obnoxiously hilly bike and run courses around.
Things started with a nice drive up on Friday afternoon
