For the first time since March, I finally have a race plan that I feel good about. I am running the Water Gap 50k ultramarathon in Milford, PA on September 12th and competing in IronMan 70.3 Boulder in August 2021. After 3 games of Kick The Can Down The Road with my IronMan race deferrals... Continue Reading →
I've been thinking. Spending enough hours biking, running and swimming kind of leads to that. No headphones, no noise, no distractions. Lately, I have been asking myself the same question during my endurance training - "What can stop me from finishing this bike ride? This run? This swim?" I want the answer to be nothing,...

I decided to rename my blog. I'm leaving "On Your Left" for "On My Left". I feel this is a necessary change because On My Left better represents what I am really after and what this blog is really about: improving myself and welcoming and supporting anyone who is doing the same. On My Left... Continue Reading →
I have been loving the ability to bounce between the 3 different disciplines of triathlon training. It feels like a constant push and pull of my progress. There's a constant reminder to not push one too far ahead of the others while also not letting one fall behind. All three require different muscles, different concentration,... Continue Reading →

After a few rides through the city with my road bike, it was obvious this just wasn't going to work. Light tires plus clip-in pedals plus aero bars does not equal Philadelphia city streets. But I really enjoy riding through the city. What to do? Time to buy another bike. I started looking into what... Continue Reading →
Read Time: 5 minutes I recently took down my biggest and baddest challenge yet. "The PTO 100." The rules of the challenge were simple: take a day off work and ride 100 miles. The point of the challenge was to take a day for myself and do exactly what I wanted, all day long. My... Continue Reading →
This weekend I did outdoor cold water therapy for the first time. What does that mean? It means I would get in cold water after training to accelerate my body's recovery. Instead of creating an ice bath in the tub like I usually do, I planned to get in the ocean. Portsmouth, Rhode Island ocean... Continue Reading →
I am about 2 month's into this year's riding season and wanting to take a moment to reflect on one of my favorite parts of cycling: building a cycling community. I have a great friend who I dove head first into the world of cycling with, but outside of that didn't know many people who... Continue Reading →
This challenge is pretty self explanatory: run every street in Philadelphia in 2020. I need to do a hell of a lot of running for my 70.3 training. I also really want to learn the city better. I figured, why not combine both and see if I can do something pretty dope? For transparency, I... Continue Reading →
