There has been recent speculation on my commitment to being the #1 LC fan. There have been many doubts lately… and many accusations that I have lost my #1 ranking. These accusations are bogus. Here is a list I’ve made that proves I am the NUMBER ONE Linsey Corbin fan. Warning. Creeper mode: ON #10: My […]

Two Men and a Baby – SOMA 2011
Red Rock Company’s premiere event, SOMA triathlon, was supposed to the grand finale battle between “Father and Son.” Dan had beat me at Marquee Triathlon and I won at Ironman Coeur d’Alene earlier in the year. This was going to be Round 3… for all the marbles. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel I could get ready […]
May the DURAFORCE be with you
I joined DURAPULSE Performance Company AKA “the Academy” June 2010 with the goals of becoming more competitive as a triathlete. I have progressively moved up the ranks, beginning as a young Jedi initiate. Jedi order from lowest to highest ranks: 1) Youngling: Course clutter. 2) Padawan : Athletes who go through rigorous training by the Jedi master […]
I’m going to Boston!
Wow, I suck at blogging. I’ll try to be better at this… —— Earlier, this year I had qualified for Boston at the P.F. Chang’s Marathon with a 3:06:40. However, shortly after, Boston Athletic Association implemented a rolling admission system, allowing the fastest qualifiers to enter the earliest. The 2012 Boston marathon “rolling registration dates” […]
Mt. Lemmon, Giant Cookies, & Pizza
My marathon is less than three weeks away and I’ve been consistently running 40-50 mile weeks. My coach told me “I’m not a triathlete for the next few months but strictly a runner.” I’ve been trying to maintain fitness on the bike and swim, mostly going to the Durapulse spin and Phoenix Swim Club Master classes. […]
Ironman CdA … Afterthoughts
It’s been a month since IM CDA and I’ve had a quite a bit of time to think about my race and recover. Sure, I had dreams of a Kona spot and I didn’t get close, but I gave the race everything I possibly had. Also, I’ve made some huge improvements since Ironman Arizona 2010. […]
Workouts of Death
Earlier this year while training for IM CDA, I did a 161-mile ride… 8.5+ hours in the saddle, 8000+ft climbing. The next day, I followed it up with a 20+ mile run. It was my highest volume training weekend ever. I felt like absolute death. I also did a 140+ mile ride from Superior to […]
To Someone Special
I had the pleasure of having my fellow “elf” friend Jess, a professional photographer, cross-fitter, mountain biker, and extreme plank enthusiast, take photos of me throughout my Ironman Coeur d’Alene weekend. She is my friend Jen’s sister-in-law…. or aunt… or maybe even her niece… I really have no idea. Anyways, we share many similar interests […]
Ironman CdA ’11 Race Report
Race Morning: I woke up at 3:45AM race morning and had my usual breakfast: a fruit smoothie, Slimfast, and oatmeal. Chad was a body marker volunteer so we drove to the transition area together at 4:30AM. I had my bike bento box packed, special needs bags dropped off, and final bike check done by 5:30AM. […]
Ironman Coeur d’Alene – Pre Race
I arrived in Coeur d’Alene Wednesday night. My friends, Josh and Jen, invited me to stay at a rental house two miles away from the Ironman expo. It was a three-story “mansion”, with very creaky floors. It seemed like every step I took made a loud “CREEAAAKKK!!” I am a morning person so I woke […]
