Finis Tempo Trainer Pro – More than just a swimming tool
I have been using a Finis Tempo Trainer in my swimming for about a year now and I absolutely love it. It is the #1 training tool in my swim bag without a doubt. In fact it is almost the only one…no pull bouy, no kickboard, no paddles…just short swim fins and a tempo trainer…
The Story of a True Ironman
The following is the story of Brian Whelan. Brian came to me in December of 2010 and hired me to train him for Ironman Coeur d’Alene 2011. Brian was diagnosed with MS in 2004 and I must say that his story ranks right up there with the likes of those you see in the tear-filled…
2011 Lake Stevens Ironman 70.3 Race Report

Ultimate P90X Hybrid – My 90 Day Progress

Ultimate P90X Hybrid Program

The program uses the Classic P90X schedule as it’s base and replaces select workouts with Insanity The Asylum workouts, P90X One on One workouts, RevAbs workouts,…
