  • Wonderland FKT Attempt is a Go!

    Well, it’s time to make this thing official. On Wednesday, July 1st (Canada Day) I’ll be starting in on the 150km journey around Mount Rainier with but one goal in mind, a new fully supported FKT (Fastest Known Time). →

  • About 50% of What I Came For at CSP118 Spain

    Well shit, that didn’t exactly go as planned. There were so many great things about today that it’s hard to believe it ended in a DNF. I was fit and ready, tapered properly, acclimated to the heat (after a week in Mexico + a week sauna training), injury free (even some small tweaks I’ve been working through… →

  • Video Interview with UTHC

    I recently did a video interview with some people who work behind the scenes for Quebec’s Ultra Trail Harricana.

There are twenty teams with six countries represented. All teams… →

  • Transkarukera 120km, Guadeloupe – Follow Along

    I’ve kept my latest racing plans a little under the radar over the last eight weeks. This was nothing more than wanting to ensure I was 100% recovered from the lingering foot issues I’ve dealt with this year and not wanting to outwardly commit to a racing goal until I knew I was good to… →
