Photo: Rocky ArroyoThe three-time Wildflower champion and dad-to-be will halt his season to recover from navicular stress fracture surgery. At the Wildflower Long Course Triathlon on May 4, defending champion Jesse Thomas came down the first steep downhill of the challenging 13.1-mile run course and thought, “Oh God, my foot does not feel very good.” Despite all of the adrenaline and excitement of capturing his third consecutive title, he was in significant pain, which he took as a pretty bad... more

Photo: John David Becker and Sue FanTake cues from the world’s best triathletes in achieving your own optimal racing weight. Lukas Verzbicas has a body composition of 6 percent fat and 94 percent fat-free mass. These numbers place the 2011 triathlon junior world champion well within the 99th percentile for men between the ages of 20 and 24. In other words, if you chose 100 young men at random off the street, chances are Verzbicas would have less body fat than any of them. Linsey Corbin has a... more

In 2005 while on a training ride for IRONMAN Australia, Port Macquarie Chaffey was hit... more

Photo: Paul Phillips / Competitive ImageHow do you go from being an Ironman finisher to being an Ironman winner? Linsey Corbin shares the tricks that she used to make the transition at the 2012 Ironman Arizona. Ironman Arizona has long been one of Linsey Corbin’s sentimental favorite races. It was the first Ironman she ever witnessed (in 2006). But with three consecutive second-place finishes (2009, 2010 and 2011), the title seemed to elude Corbin—until November 2012, when her never-give-up... more

Around Transition: Challenge Barcelona 2013 We all do it. The day before a race we all like to take a little wander around T2 to check out who is riding what (and admire some of the amazing tech on display). Well, on Saturday we did just that ahead of Challenge Barcelona, enjoying a good ogle at some stunning bikes. more
People used to say I looked like Karate Kid. Well he hurt his foot too and came back to win, so booyah! If I’ve learned anything from sport it’s that highs and lows are part of the game. Sometimes your dreams are achieved in ever glorious triumph! Other times they’re dashed in heart wrenching . . . → Read More: Oops, I Broke My Foot more
“Ouch. Ouch. …Ouch! Jeez! …Ouch!! Holy S#!+!!” It was the 35C. It was +70% humidity. The sun was beating down from above, and up from the tar surface I was running along. And after a hard 180km ride I was tired. But that was not the problem – I was running on what felt like hot coals. Barefoot. Carpets in T2 would have been great. But that was only the start of the suffering… Fifteen miles later, 11 miles still to go and the only consolation was that everyone was suffering at least as much as... more
Has it really been one month since I lay there staring at the ceiling in my hospital bed wondering how I had come so close to death... my footing almost taken from beneath me... my story was almost in the last chapter... almost to the place where I was about to meet my Maker... and yet... again I knew it was not my time. How?? Because the way that day unfolded I knew my life still had a purpose and there were still more chapters to be written.I always thought how crazy it was to hear about... more
I just finished my first race of the season. Ironman 70.3 Florida in Haines City. The race venue used to be at Orlando Disney World but has moved down here the past couple years and while I would have been exciting to race with Mickey Mouse the venue down here was pretty awesome.Training the past 5 weeks has gone well. My fitness and strength has come up nicely and I was looking forward to seeing how my body would step up in my first race. The course was not your typical Florida pancake... more
It was just one month ago, on April 16, that I ran for the first time in 6 weeks. That run consisted of three 100m sprints, and a walk back to the start with eyes closed. This was the culmination of four days learning a new approach to allowing my body to heal itself and how to keep my body healthier and as stress free as possible. When I asked my instructor at the end of the course about whether he thought it was a good idea to race Honu Ironman 70.3 in 6 weeks time I was tentative for fear of... more
I just wanted to send a special message to all of my friends in Texas getting ready to crush that ironman tomorrow, especially our TeamHPBers and campers. After a very successful Part One at Ironman Melbourne, Team HPB’er Marc Rubin (if you don’t know his story, check him out here.) is continuing his 2013 Comeback Tour in the Woodlands tomorrow. With support from Kona Dawn, obvi! Then three of these gals are on track for a big day tomorrow: Aixa and Kris are going to cross their first ironman... more

I had always wanted to try a double of some sort, back to back Ironman’s or Half Ironman’s. But I never thought it would be an Ironman in Taiwan followed by a 70.3 in Busselton. However, once we heard about the first Challenge Ironman event in Taiwan we didn’t want to miss it…plus I am not going to miss my home town race of Busseton 70.3. The challenge was set! Guy and I sat down and had a plan for post Ironman Challenge Taiwan. From as soon as we crossed the finish line until the start of... more
Before I went to Taiwan for the iron-distance race, I signed myself up for some torture here at home the following weekend: the Tucson 5000. For some reason, I had this sick compulsion to sign up just because I knew that running a 5k balls-out a week after ironman is the last thing my legs would want to do. Not sure what that is about, but I figured this little workout would shock my body out of “yay me I just did an ironman so now I can chill out” mode back into work mode. It was indeed... more

"Well, a wiser fella than myself once said, 'sometimes you eat the bar. And, well, sometimes he eats you...'" And so it goes when you are looking for more
