Send us a text You know, the person that only talks about triathlon? That only talks about racing? That only talks about that one subject every...single...time. Don't be them! You have my encouragement to branch out in your interests a bit. As mentioned, I encourage you all to check out The Move Daily podcast, especially the episode where the host, Tracy Steen, gets into the weeds with me about what happened to my brain a handful of years ago and what inspired me to continue in the sport of t...

Send us a text Track etiquette, I get into it. The Runna app, I get into it. Blue-green algae in most of our local lakes, gotta get out of that! Support the show
Send us a text I took the last week off, and even if I hadn't decided to voluntarily, that last shingles vaccine did me in something fierce so I wouldn't have had a choice but to take some time off! Come to think of it, I sure have had a lot of vaccines in my life. Support the show
Send us a text I did my second Standard Distance race in 2 weeks. Was I able to compete? Did I blow up or was I recovered? Listen to find out. And I'll tell you in advance, I learned a few things that I'm interested in sharing with you. Support the show
Send us a text The bulk of your training is behind you, racing is in front if you. Enjoy it! This is what a winter/spring of training is for. Get immersed in it. Be a spectator as well as a racer. Soak it all in! Support the show
Send us a text The big question this year - would exclusive 70.3 training lead to a slower Olympic Distance race? Listen and find out. Support the show
Send us a text I splurged on a red light/near-infrared (NIR) device. So far, I'm loving it. I swear, it has reduced the pain of my patellar tendinopathy. Or it could just be placebo effect :) What is red light therapy? How can I, as a triathlete, use it to enhance my energy and recovery? I'll get into it.
Send us a text I've started adding ritual to my non-athletic life and I'm really enjoying it. So, why not add ritual to some of my triathlon practices?
Send us a text I've got 70.3 fitness, what should I do with it? Play it safe? Do the same-old-same-old? Or should I take some risks, should I learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. It's time to do some extra racing, throw caution to the wind, get out there and risk failure. How exciting!
Send us a text Is it just me or do many of us suffer from pre-race DOUBT? I've put in the training for 8 months yet I don't think I'll perform to my highest standard. How can that be? Do you ever feel that way? Please share at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com
Send us a text We are all used to training our bodies for peak performance but what training our minds? Welcome Stoic Journaling! If you decide to journal, drop me a line and let me know how it's going at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com
Send us a text I'm injured, again! Vaccine sickness, nerve compression. When will it stop? Time to bring out my mantra around accepting what I can't control.
Send us a text We were all newbies at one point! Every newcomer to the sport is nervous or anxious about some element of triathlon and in this episode I think back to my first time in the sport, how each element gave me some issues and how I eventually overcame.
Send us a text Many of us want to be as fast as possible in our races. Imagine if someone handed you a voucher that removed minutes from your race time for free (or a small fee)? Many of us would take that deal. Well, turns out that you CAN buy "free" speed.
