Me, riding a tri bike in aero on a two-lane road lined with pine trees. I'm wearing a red long-sleeve jersey and a Rudy Project Wingdream helmet.

A POV shot of the aero bars on my tri bike, looking down an empty two-lane road stretching toward the snow-capped Teton Range. Sagebrush and pine trees line both sides of the road under a partly cloudy sky.

Woke up at 1% Whoop recovery 💀 but it was too damn nice to stay inside.

A panoramic view of the Tetons from Teton Park Road, a straight, empty two-lane road converging toward the snow-capped peaks on the horizon. Sagebrush flats stretch out on both sides of the road. The sky is layered with with clouds.

My favorite time of year: Teton Park Road is open to pedestrians and cyclists, 28 km of car-free bliss.

Me, taking a selfie while riding my bike on a paved road, wearing a red jersey, a dark aero helmet, and sunglasses. The Tetons and sagebrush flats stretch across the background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Proof that I still know how to ride a bike outside.

Me out on a run, wearing an Ironman 70.3 St. George shirt, sunglasses, and a dark cap, on a pathway along the side of a road with sagebrush and snow-capped mountains in the background. The sun is low on the horizon. A Strava overlay displays 10.07 km, 6:03/km pace, 1h 0m time, 40 m elevation gain, 774 calories, and 139 bpm average heart rate.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Fuck yeah, first outdoor run of the season!

New year, new Ironman rules.

Skiathlon looks like a lot of fun.

Introducing TrainerRoad AI - TrainerRoad Blog Meet TrainerRoad AI, the next generation of cycling training.

Sounds like the new version of TrainerRoad is dropping today. I've been in the beta for the past couple of weeks and so far it's been a fantastic update. Probably the most productive block of training I've had in months.

A screenshot of Whoop’s AI coach, saying: “January Jumpstart with WHOOP is all about building momentum in January - and during pregnancy, that means focusing on what supports you and your growing baby.“ The rest of the slop is not even worth transcribing.

They say AI is useless, but without Whoop's AI coach, I might have never found out that I, a 43-year-old man, am pregnant. Truly incredible technology, glad we're betting the entire economy on it.

Strava Just Sued Garmin: Demands Garmin Stop Selling Devices  Strava has sued Garmin, an act that I very much did not have on my bingo card for 2025. In doing so, they are demanding that Garmin cease selling effectively all of their fitness/outdoor watches, as well as cycling

lmaoooo strava is such a dumb joke of a company www.dcrainmaker.com/2025/10/s...

It was, uh, very windy on race day on Sunday.

The medal for the 2025 Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities, featuring images of a steamboat, a silhouette of a person on a paddleboard, a grapevine, and a landscape scene of a vineyard, with the text "1.2 mi swim, 56 mi bike, 13.1 mi run" at the top. The ribbon is black with orange dots. The Columbia River can be seen behind the medal, with the opposite shoreline in the distance.

My tenth Ironman 70.3 is in the books, and with that, my race season is over. Full race report coming soon, but for now here's my #medalmonday

A row of triathlon bikes racked on a metal frame outdoors on a grassy area, with trees and other bikes in the background. In the foreground, a silver Trek Speed Concept bike with TriRig arm scoops on the aerobars.

Shadowfax is racked and ready for tomorrow.

A silver Trek Speed Concept bicycle placed in front of a window. On the floor in front of the bike are various pieces of triathlon hear: water bottles, energy gels, a swim cap, goggles, a helmet, Ironman-branded hat, cycling shoes, running shoes, gloves, a bike computer, a heart rate monitor, and a race bib with the number 81.

All my gear, ready for tomorrow.

One more sleep until race day.

Race Report: 2024 Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities I ended my triathlon season on a high note.

And in case you missed it, my race report from last year's race: www.giventotri.com/2024/09/25...

My right hand, wearing an Ironman 70.3 wristband with the bib number 81 and a Whoop band. In the background, a view of a marina.

All checked in for Ironman 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities on Sunday! Bib number 81, here's the live tracking link: rtrt.me/ulink/IRMA/IRM-WASHIN...

A view of the Columbia Point marina, with several empty docks and a few boats on the water. In the foreground, there is a fenced walkway, shrubs, and a patio area with a table and four chairs. Beyond the marina, there is a grassy area with trees, a boat ramp, and several buildings in the distance under a clear sky.

The view of the swim exit, run course, and finish line from my hotel room is so good I almost wish I was spectating instead of racing 😅

Me, wearing a white sun hoodie, black cap, and reflective sunglasses running along an open field with sagebrush. Pine trees and the Teton Range are visible in the background.

A map of a Strava run showing a route in Grand Teton National Park, near Beaver Creek and Moose. The run is labeled "Afternoon Run" and lists a distance of 16.33 kilometers, a time of 1 hour and 29 minutes, and a pace of 5 minutes 29 seconds per kilometer.

The wildfire smoke cleared out long enough to let me take a break from the treadmill.

Me, wearing a red cycling jersey, black helmet, and golden reflective sunglasses riding a road bike on a paved path through open fields, with the Teton Range and blue sky in the background.

Gotta enjoy good weather days when they come around.
