2019 Season Start
In April, our squad, Triathlon Gold, relocated from San Diego, California to Asheville, North Carolina. Growing up in North Carolina, I was stoked to make the move back to the east coast.

Tongyeong and Miyazaki World Cups
The Tongyeong and Miyazaki World Cups came at the end of a long season of racing, with most of my races in the back half of the year. Tongyeong is one of my favorite courses on the circuit and boasts a peaceful sea swim, a hilly bike course, and a run that is mostly on […]
