Hey guys, As an athlete, last 2 weeks were frustrating; I missed a couple amazing races -including the World Championships I was supposed to compete. It’s tough seeing my friends/rivals posts and YouTube clips of the races I would/could have been in and didn’t go. After Finland I was feeling great, so fit and so ready. I don’t get to these places going all out on the race course, flying high & far on the big jumps —it’s a build up; so...
Hi, here we go for March 2023. What is spring here in Arizona feels like summer anywhere else north of the 40th parallel around the globe as we might hit 80 today. An epic day for a 30 mile ride with intervals along Tempe Town Lake. The ride continues! I have been training hard and it is paying off which is so refreshing. I was selected to ride with Team USA in Belgium at world cup number 2 and hoping...
Today someone approached me in the street I said I see you running on the street all the time with your dog and I've seen you outside your house working on your home seems like you stay busy and he asked how do you do it to have the energy to still do the extras? I looked back at him with a smile and said well I have 6 kids and a wife that's 7 extra reason why I do what...
Me and fellow Team PossAbilities racer Travis Gaertner The 2023 race season is upon us and the first race of the season is a good one. Valley of the Sun stage race is the first race for me this season held in sunny Phoenix Arizona. I'm always very excited to do this race and it's also a great way to gage how good fitness is this early in the season. It's a great...
The first race of the season is complete and was a fantastic success. The Valley of the Sun Stage Race was a great opportunity to prepare for the upcoming international race season which starts in April. I used the event to try out a more intentional nutrition approach planning all macros for a few days leading up to, and while we were at the event. In partnership with the Team USA nutritionist we planned each meal and snack and I...
Well, it has started but not the way I was hoping. I made a rookie mistake and I'm not a rookie. First, ended up with low blood glucose before the start which is abnormal but I've had some stomach issues on/off for the week pre-race. And second, I thought I'd get away with using my new carbon grip with only trying it for a week pre-event. Is what it is. Live and learn but do not repeat same mistakes., Training...
Hey guys, updating everyone on my season; the original plan changed twice because of lack of snow in Europe. So frustrating! They do have snow, but not enough to build the courses (they need a lot!)From Finland we would go to Spain for Worlds; so when that got postponed to March, we turned our focus to a World Cup & test event for the Paralympics 2026 in Cortina, Italy. We’d extend the trip for another week. I was on “cloud...
Our first race of the season is coming up in just a few weeks. We will compete to add data to our applications for Team USA's roster heading to World Cup 1 this April in Italy! Team USA just wrapped up a camp in Southern California where I completed over 250 miles in 4 days through the mountains! The climbs were epic and the descents allowed me to practice taking turns over 40 miles and hour. Just what I needed...
It's a new year which means a new racing season is upon us. It seems like at the start of every season brings new hopes and goals. Every year I want to learn more, train more, race more, and grow more as an athlete. This year is no different for me. Now that I've quit working part time and will be focusing more on training, I am hoping this extra time will take...
Hello team and supporters, I’m just back from an adventure in Finland. My second time there, a place in the Arctic Circle, in Northern Finland called Pyhä. It’s magical… and this time it wasn’t so cold, it’s been quite an off winter for European standards. Last time I was there I had a hard time on this race course and it was very humbling. That’s exactly why I came back, to get stronger as an athlete. It was very positive...
