Ironman Lake Tahoe
This is now my 3rd attempt at writing a race report for Ironman Lake Tahoe. On attempt #1 I wrote a detailed account of how I injured my calf pretty bad 9 days out from the race only to make it worse because I was too stubborn to skip my long run two days after the...
The Des Moines Triathlon
http://robinpomeroy.com/the-des-moines-triathlon/ This year was the inaugural running of the Des Moines triathlon. It took the place of Hy-Vee, a huge Olympic distance race that ended last year. As I had previously focused on the Olympic distance race prior to this...
USAT Nationals in Milwaukee WI
This was, by far, the biggest race I’ve ever done in terms of attendance and talent. It was an honor to be there amongst some of the nation’s best triathletes. Unfortunately in early June I started dealing with hamstring and glute pain. Bad enough to stop me from...
How I Got My Money’s Worth at the Donner Half
The Donner Half was like shopping at Cost-Co…I got more product for my money – more minutes on the race course that is! Based on my average time for this distance I usually pay roughly $0.83/minute but at the Donner Half it was just a mere $0.70/minute! I wish I could...
Calgary 70.3
My thoughts go out to Caleb's family and friends. Caleb was a little 7-year old boy who drowned in the lake on Friday evening before the race. What a hardship for them and the community. It was great that everyone in the race received blue ribbons in memory of Caleb,...
My First 70.3! – Ironman 70.3 Texas
May 4, 2015 I, Laurence, just completed my first 70.3. If you told me a year ago I'd do a 70.3 I would have laughed. Now, I can't wait to do my next one. This race, more than any more than any other, was about believing in my training and the base I had set up since...
Pitfalls of Injury and First Race Back
April 1, 2014 Injury is part of every athlete's journey and I am no exception. We all try hard to prevent it but sometimes there is nothing you can do about it. While at the Kona Training Camp I began to get a bit of a nagging pain in my ankle when I ran. I told Matt...
Vineman 70.3 Race Report
This past weekend was my first 70.3 Ironman event and 2nd half. I was super excited to have a big race only a few hours away in Sonoma. We got to swim in the Russian River, bike through wine country and run on a challenging hilly course. Unfortunately, my race did not...
TriRock Philly
I was looking forward to racing an Olympic distance tri against a solid professional field. I know how to race this distance and wanted to just compete. This was my first Olympic distance race as a pro. I had nothing to lose but lots to prove! Brian and I travelled to...

Ironman Coeur d’Alene Race Report June 28, 2015 The weekend started out with early travel with connecting flights through Seattle from Sacramento- travel was fairly uneventful besides long layovers. Made it to CDA through the help of another athlete that shares my...
