Hello there! Welcome to my blog for the month of February. I just had my first race this past weekend here in Phoenix. Honestly, the only goal I had for the weekend was to make the, formerly national standard, which is now recognized as the international podium standard. I went a little over 1% faster then the international podium standard. This is good. I think it's actually really good because we use caffeine and carbohydrate, fast digesting carbohydrate in our...
Hello there, it's time for a little update as we're only one week into the first week of 2026. First off, happy to note that I'm back to my normal training. I was having some nagging shoulder discomfort on the left guide for about a month. I have noticed that there are some activities that trigger it and cause it to increase. I'm not sure if it is a rotator cuff tear or just a really tight proximal section of...
Hi, it's only mid-December but I wanted to go ahead and get this blog done for the month. I just came back from California where I was at the 2025 PossAbilities Christmas Gala. This is my third time attending the gala. It's always it's fun to go out there to see how other individuals with and without disabilities are involved with the program. It's really cool to see others in the Paralympic program and how they are progressing. Their blogs...
So, it's been a bit over a month since I last shared information on my blog. It was just Thanksgiving a couple days ago and also 31 years since the accident that put me in a wheelchair. This year was quite hard for whatever reason. I actually know why but I let it hit too hard this year. I was able to go spend time with my mom, step dad, and their neighbors who are from our hometown as well....
Hello, we are at three quarters through October and I'm enjoying one more week of active rest before I start getting back into the full-time grind of training. I'm riding my bike three times per week for an hour or so procession and lifting weights two to three times per week right now. I got out to play wheelchair rugby, which I miss a lot, two times so far and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I'm going to, and...
Hey there :-) Just wanted to update everybody on what's been happening in the past few weeks. I've been taking a needed period of active rest. With active rest I'm lifting weights two to three times per week and after 3 weeks off of riding my bike I'm getting back to some easy rides on my e-bike. I will gradually build into some rides back on the race bike on the trainer indoors until the weather cools down here in...
Well, it was both a successful trip and a less than successful trip to Ronse, Belgium. Most importantly, I achieved my goal of getting a medal at the 2025 world championships. I was thinking I would get that medal in the time trial but ended up getting second in the road race. I took 6th in the time trial placing behind competitors I beat by over 5 minutes just 4 months ago at the World Cup event. In all honesty,...
The subject is true! We will be leaving in less than 2 weeks to the 2005 World Championships in Belgium. Just over 3 weeks until the first race or time trial. I took fifth in the time trial in 2023 and 3rd in the road race. I'm posting better numbers now with power then I was then so fingers crossed I'm hoping for the best! The time trial is going to be just over 7.2 MI. It doesn't seem that long...
Hi, just wanted to post an update here for the month of july. It's July 24th and approximately just over a month until the World Championship time trial and road race in Belgium. I am on an easy week right now with training and definitely putting emphasis on taking it easy. Last week I posted all new best power numbers for 5, 10, 20, and 60 minutes. Whenever I do a ride like that I need to take a few...
Hey there, welcome back for my July post. I wanted to get the post done early rather than risk forgetting about posting towards the end of the month. Plus, it's well north of 100° outside right now and it definitely helps me get more things done in the home as I am avoiding going Outdoors. Here in Arizona we have broken two highs for temperature in the past week. I think it hit 117 twice. Once last week and once...
