I would love to know what you are training for this season. It seems to me that most of the Long Island triathletes are training for Ironman Jones Beach. I heard there are more than 3,800 people who will be racing in the new 70.3. That's a lot of people!...
Mighty Hamptons Olympic Aquabike 2022
Since my knee surgery, I haven't been running as much as I would have liked to. So instead of doing the full Olympic at the Eventpower LI Mighty Hamptons, I decided to drop down to the Aquabike. It was the same distance as the triathlon, but it eliminated the run....

EventPower LI’s Riverhead Rocks Review
Team Galloway Long Island set EventPower LI's Riverhead Rocks as a "suggested" race for 2019. The timing was perfect. We scheduled the Bridgehampton Half Marathon in May as our goal race, so getting in the 10 miles at the end of March worked out well for us. Four of the...

2018 SmithPoint Triathlon Race Review
What made the 2018 SmithPoint Triathlon particularly special, was there were more than 100 first time athletes competing. I knew at least three people who were racing for the first time - Ray, Craig and Rebecca, all members of WeRTriathletes. I found it inspiring to watch these athletes cross the...
Riverhead Rocks 10Miler Race Review
Riverhead Rocks 10Miler Race Review I've wanted to run the Riverhead Rocks 10Miler Race since it's inception a year ago. I had heard it was a great race so I proposed it to Team Galloway Long Island. Unfortunately, most of the members had a prior commitment so, it was only Ray and me...
Smith Point Triathlon Review Produced by EventPowerLI

I signed up for the SmithPoint Triathlon, produced by EventPower LI, nearly six months ago. I planned on competing in later triathlons this season. (I actually signed up for...
It’s More About the Journey
This month marks my one year anniversary in triathlons. My very first triathlon was at the Captiva Triathlon on September 9, 2014 in Ft. Myers/Sanibel. Since then, I've completed nearly a dozen triathlons. And during the past year, I realized that it's more about the journey than the actual destination. I love to swim,...
