Been at this endurance thing for 40+ years.

Learned a lot.

One of em is:

open water > pool

mountain bike > road bike

trail run > pavement

Ū READY?

If that which was 10 years ago feels like yesterday, then won’t 10 years from now feel like tomorrow? 

Get busy friends. 🔨

And CAPTURE memories!

It’s. All. About. Process.

T-minus 2 months til me and the legend ghincapie get to go out and spar like this.

Young, single, no kids: “Hey, let’s take a risk!”

Older, married, and would hate to not be able to pick up my kids: “I think I’ll hit the brakes.”

A little Saturday sūffering. Y’all go get you some.

Great to finally get the mountain bike dusted off this season.

And what better place to start off than NWA (Northwest Arkansas)?! Arguably the mountain bike capital of the world.

Looking forward to summer in Aspen filled with time on the dirt.

I often get asked I prefer…

This is what was going through my mind 21 years ago when I had to maneuver around Joseba BELOKI at ~40mph.

And as a dad, my favorite and most important title, it’s pretty cool to show my kids certain things.

They’re hard to impress but this gets ‘em every time.

Always good to revisit the Onnit gym.

Some of the hardest core women and men I’ve ever trained with.

Juan Leija & Cal Callahan close to the top of the list.

And while I got ya, shout out to my ‘brother from another’ Aubrey Marcus for building a helluva business.

You either live with it. Or you don’t. I chose to live with it.

I know I said I’m not training for anything, but…

Lately everybody has been talking about something called “HYROX.”

So I had to get after it.

What is a HYROX?

8 x 1 km runs interspersed with these stations:

1. SkiErg
2. Sled Push
3. Sled Pull
4. Burpee Broad Jumps
5. RowErg…

I could never even dream of playing basketball, but I loved Kobe and was honored to call him a friend.

Hearing from Blake Griffin about just what it was like to face the man and his intensity is 🤯.

New episode of The Forward is out!

Complete honor having on NBA legend, and my great friend, Blake Griffin.

Standout career at OU, first pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, and a storied career.

We discuss all of that plus Kobe, what it takes to be a champion, and just how f’d up…

Third go around with my “frenemy” the ACID BATH. 

Pure anaerobic misery.

500 meters ski erg, 500 meters row erg, 1000 mts bike erg. All on Concept2 gear. 

The way my brain works is that I just assume my times will keep coming down.

Alas, it doesn’t work that way.

I’m…

It has now been 3 months (!!) and AT&T still can’t get high speed internet to my Central Austin office. However, they are exceptional at making a bunch bullshit excuses

This is the real story behind “The Look.” It’s probably not what you think.

I’ll train with anyone, anytime, anywhere.

It’s not about training for competition.

It’s about being in the best shape of my life so I can continue to push my limits and see what I’m capable of.

It’s the only gear I’ve got. And it’s the only gear I’ll ever have.

I’m impressed with this generation of cyclists. In many ways, they are more talented. But they do not compete like we did.

Hugs and high fives? This would have been totally foreign to me.

🚨 Big announcement. 🚨 

My good friend Tim Armstrong recently connected me with Michael Chernow, founder of Kreatures of Habit.

I heard Michael was raising some money for his business, so we got on a call.

The moment the call ended I told myself: “I ain’t betting against this guy.”…
