-My Run/Bike/Swim Gear
-My "Palmares" (it's like an athlete resume)

Me and "Team Staples" at the '14 Hy-Vee Triathlon.

Well, hello there. My name is tyler, and I love to run and bike (and, I guess, swim as well). I think Kansas City is a fantastic town to fuel each of those passions -- be it running clubs, or cycling teams, and, of course, the various events and races that are made available to athletes nearly every weekend of the year.

As one of those athletes, I have a huge appreciation for organizers that post course maps and elevation profiles, but even then, the info lacks. What is the course really like? Where is packet pick-up and how much time will it take? Is there an expo? How do I even frekkin' register?

This is what I hope to accomplish with my blog. For almost all the races I participate in every year (nearly one a week, sometimes more), I will write a course preview -- including maps and elevation profiles -- and even write some stuff up about packet pick-up and overall event organization (for ex., parking situation). This way you can enter in to your events with a bit more peace of mind, and focus on the most important task: enjoying the event!

If you want to learn more about me, I've included a few personal tidbits at the links above, including short a short bio, some of the gear selections I've made (always fun to read for me), and my contact info). With that, browse around the site and feel free to drop any feedback you might have in the comments section(s) and/or shoot me an email.

Until then, keep Running/Biking/Swimming!
