The links below will take you to articles, stories, race reports, triathlon training tips, and whatever else I've decided to put on this page. These articles tend to be related to triathlon training but occasionally the mood will strike me and it will be something completely off the wall.
To a great extent these will help those of you who are just getting into the sport or want some insight into how it can feel to really push yourself mentally and physically. You more experienced athletes may enjoy my viewpoint but disagree with some of what I think, and that's your prerogative. After all, we're all only human. Right? ;-)
If you wish to reproduce an article here in your newsletter or on a website, you may do so freely for non-profit organizations, provided you give me proper accreditation. I'd appreciate knowing about it as well. If you want to use an article in a for-profit venture, please email me the details and we can work something out.
Articles are now listed chronologically by subject matter. Please visit the One Step Beyond website for coaching information.
