It’s been a few months since my last post and/or book update. Good news on both fronts. Had a crazy race adventure worth writing up so here goes. Oh, the book is finally here, well kind of. Info at the end of this post. Not sure why I don’t blog more about IRONMAN...
It's been a while since my last post. I've been pretty busy with my advisory business as well as my book project. Speaking of which, I'll provide a quick update on that first before getting into Ultraman. Nothing goes as quickly as one would like. I thought the...
Everything about the IM World Championship was world class. I’ve raced at over a dozen Ironman venues, all are great, some are excellent, but this one tops them all. If Kona is on your bucket list, leave it on there and continue to strive to add this race to your list...
Aloha from Kailua-Kona Hawaii!! Hard to believe but PIVKON is finally here. 10 hours until the cannon goes off and 11 hours before I hit the water for a little 140.6 miles of racing. On September 13, 2009 I learned about something called Ironman and about their...

I miscalculated the title of the last post, it should have been -7...So here we are PIVKON Minus 6 or to be more specific 45 days away from the big show. I thought last week's load of 5,000 yards swimming, 17 miles running and 100 miles of biking was tough. This...
What is PIVCON?? It's something between Comic Con because my family thinks I'm a character and a DevCon level because I do feel like I'm going to explode due to the extreme anticipation of a project 12 years in the making about to come to fruition. Just go with it,...
I'm almost done with a book called Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke. From Amazon: This book is about pleasure. It’s also about pain. Most important, it’s about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is...
