Seeing Triathlon From the Other Side: My First Time Volunteering

For months, I’ve been sidelined. Since my total knee replacement, triathlon racing has been off the table. I’ve been doing the work, rebuilding strength, getting back on the bike, and slowly finding my way back. But I miss race day. I miss the nerves, the buzz in transition, and that feeling when you cross the […] The post Seeing Triathlon From the Other Side: My First Time Volunteering appeared first on A Triathlete's Diary.

Across the Line by Sue Reynolds Review

Why Zealios Sun Protector Should Be in Your Bag All Year Round

Picture this: it’s a crisp fall morning, the sky is a flat gray, and you’re clocking a long ride or a long run. Sunscreen? Probably the last thing on your mind.

The swim leg, that thrashing, adrenaline-soaked start we all know so well, remains the deadliest part of our sport. And the numbers aren’t slowing down. We often blame these tragedies on panic, cold shock, or bad luck. But a growing body […] The post The Silent Killer at Triathlons: What Every Swimmer Needs to Know About SIPE appeared first on A Triathlete's Diary.

I Almost Gave Up on These Goggles — Then Everything Changed

I’ll be honest: my first swim with the Effortless Swimming NanoClear™ goggles was a disaster. I took them straight into open water, excited to test the hype. Within minutes, water was seeping in around the edges. I spent more time draining them than swimming. I remember thinking, “That’s it, these are going back.” If you’ve […] The post I Almost Gave Up on These Goggles — Then Everything Changed appeared first on A Triathlete's Diary.

How the HOKA Bondi 9 Helped Me Recover From TKR Surgery

Why I Love Open Water Swimming in My ROKA Wetsuits

Open water has a pull that’s hard to explain until you feel it. The cold slap of the first stroke, the horizon stretching out, the quiet rhythm of your own breathing. My Three ROKA Maverick Wetsuits I didn’t set out to own three wetsuits. But once you start swimming across seasons and conditions, you realize […] The post Why I Love Open Water Swimming in My ROKA Wetsuits appeared first on A Triathlete's Diary.

Every runner and triathlete dealing with plantar fasciitis eventually lands on the same advice: get a better shoe. Firm heel counter, stiff sole, real arch support. That advice is sound, and for some people it is enough. But look closely at most plantar fasciitis shoe recommendations, and you will notice a recurring caveat: many of […] The post What to Look for If Shoes Alone Aren’t Fixing Your Plantar Fasciitis Pain appeared first on A Triathlete's Diary.

Ten Weeks Post TKR, Two Steps Forward, One Hard Fall

This post is about my experience 10 weeks after a total knee replacement. If you’d asked me back then how recovery would feel, I would have pictured a straight line: surgery, rehab, back to swimming, walking, cycling, maybe even running again.

How Tabata Can Help You Swim Faster

Tabata is the original HIIT protocol and comes with real sports science credentials. Back in the 1990s, Japanese researcher Dr. Izumi Tabata studied speed skaters using a very specific interval structure: 20 seconds of all-out effort, 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times. That’s it. Four minutes total per block. But the format is deceptively […] The post How Tabata Can Help You Swim Faster appeared first on A Triathlete's Diary.
