Hey MTN,
Thanks for touching base. It's been a crazy busy winter with working extra to replenish the Triathlon Budget Coffers and Officiating High School & USA Swimming. However, after a much needed break from training to let the body heal and the fire to rekindle after some disappointing finishes at the end of the season, I'm back at it and looking forward to 2014.
The schedule looks to be shaping up as follows:
5/3 - Chain of Lakes Triathlon
6/1 - Buffalo Triathlon (Tentative)
6/22 - Best of the US Amateur Championships...

Rochester's second-year pro, RUTH BRENNAN MORREY, turned in an awesome performance on Sunday at Panama 70.3. Here's a portion of the coverage that appeared on triathlon.competitor.com:

The Endurance Live Awards chose to honor Hines Ward, some ultra guy and an obvious doper. They did give out some awards to deserving folks. Javier Gomez and Brena Martinez (great track season, medal at the world championships) and Mirinda Carfrae all won awards. But to give male runner of the year to an ultra guy? What about the track or road athletes who actually run races against fast athletes? Nick Symmonds and Matt Centrowitz both got silver medals at Track Worlds in 2013. Those are pretty good accomplishments. As for Hines Ward, hasn’t he gotten enough attention and...

In honor of Valentine’s Day, Triathlon.Competitor.com look back on a popular archive from author Lauren Harsch: A simple, four-step guide on how to date, and maybe one day marry, a triathlete.
I dated and then married a top amateur Ironman triathlete. I feel like anyone who has deserves a medal or trophy—we are a strong group of independent people. Here are a few rules I’ve learned along the way that might benefit anyone married to multisport by affiliation and not necessarily personal choice.
