I happy to finally announce that I am starting a new Mental Training Series on Live & Let Tri that highlights techniques that I use to mentally prepare for races!
I have some great stuff in store for you guys that I am sure will catapult your results to the next level (I know it did for me)!
This is the first part of the series–and focuses on the Ultimate Intention Statement (UIS)–an extremely powerful tool that I started using last year in order to qualify for the Olympics Read More…
After the successful cycling competitions at Luxembourg Champs, I packed my stuff and left Luxembourg for another long term training block. First, I went to the South of France, near Perpignan, and stayed there for a two week block. Focus was more on speed and getting used to some longer training sessions before heading to Font Romeu to enjoy three weeks of altitude training Read More…
Thursday’s contre-la-montre (Time Trial), 18km:
I was very excited to be part of the Cycling Championships in Luxembourg this year, even though it was during my racing break, I was still looking forward to a good performance to show the cyclists that I am a good rider.

Check out the YouTube video above! Crazy, I know Read More…
Last weekends race @ Schliersee was a great team effort. It was my first short distance race since last August at the Olympic Games- and I can still do it. I didn’t end up finishing the race because only the first four men from a team of five count – but it was awesome to win as a team, and to know that we are pretty securely going to win the Bundesliga series this year!
After a good swim I exited with the fastest swimmers and we quickly formed a 20 man leading group. Within the first few minutes the group seemed to split Read More…
After several months of traveling and racing, I finally made it back to Luxembourg. The week after my big win at the Ironman 70.3 Florida, I took it pretty easy and hardly trained. To be honest, I did 4 sessions total that week. I was actually hanging out in St. Augustine, FL and spent a lot of time with my in-laws.
The weather was terrible for 6 days straight, so we spent a lot of time at the in-laws house, which was actually pretty nice for a change. St. Augustine is an amazing place. Right now, I am sitting in the plane on my way back to Frankfurt and then back to Luxland Read More…
