Starting tomorrow morning at 10am I’ll be headed southbound on the Long Trail from Canada. Hoping to go rather quick.

I’ll be going unsupported, so don’t try and find me and share miles. But I won’t refuse a fly by.

I will have live tracking but it won’t be shared publicly. If you’re someone who thinks I ought to provide it to them, please reach out to me directly before the end of tonight.

Athletic sugar nerd reporting for duty 🫡
Ask me about my disaccharides.

@untappedmaple has decided to carb me up again this year. Get ready for maple shots, waffle slams, and haikus about the world’s greatest athletic fuel: Maple Syrup

There’s little need to fall into the big maltodextrin corporate empire. Ask me to go off on the benefits of maple syrup and I’ll nerd out hard.

Happy carbing, everyone.

In May, I got to meet @robertnorrisgetfitwithrobert21 at Ironman Chattanooga 70.3
I expressed strong interest in getting the opportunity to be an Ironman guide at some point in the future. Individuals racing with disabilities have the option to have a guide during the event for support.

Well, I’ll be getting the chance at Ironman Florida this year to be a guide with @chrisnikic and his foundation.

I am doing some crowd funding to help support the trip to Florida.
If you’re able to help at all, I’m grateful.

I’ll attach a link in my bio to the Lend A Hand crowd funding page. by @lance_theathlete

What a great trip to Utah.

Managed to come away with the win at @starvationxtri my first full distance tri win.

Thanks so much to Julian for the mega support out in the course.

I’ve been going to the Elmore Triathlon series for years now. It’s a magical place with supportive, real people in as approachable of a setting as triathlon gets.

It’s the kind of place someone of any age can come dip their toes into the water of triathlon without the prohibitive costs and fears of other races. Many friends, new and old show up and race and have fun.

The wind made for a slower, sketchier bike ride than normal, but I pulled off my fastest overall time on course winning my 8th Elmore triathlon and finally breaking the long standing course record.

Last Nordic Skier Standing

Was an absolute treat. 34 laps around Jackson, nh totaling 174 miles of skate skiing.

@whitemountainskico hosted a marvelous first rendition of this race and I’ll gladly be back for more next year.

I didn’t know how this race would go as it’s been my first real year skiing. I am still fairly inefficient at it compared to the three guys who stayed in the game longer than me; they were ballers.
I’ll get better and see you guys out there for the second or maybe third sunrise next year.

Thanks to @untappedmaple for sweetening my time out there.

The unsung heroes of this journey were the five beautiful friends who came to love me and take my shoes off for me. Thank you!

@joevigerphoto took some fantastic photos out there and I’m grateful for him sharing them. by @lance_theathlete

Guess who’s riding the maple train this year?

You guessed it! Me and so many other athletes that understand that it’s not all about the dreaded maltodextrin.

@untappedmaple has a slew of sports tailored maple products for athletes like me and you.

This year I switched to exclusively maple syrup for all my cycling, at ICON Xtri I consumed 3000 calories of maple syrup!

The hype is real.

Italy and Switzerland blessed me with the best riding of my life. Dreaming of the day I get back on a plane to head that way again. by @lance_theathlete

It has only been a couple of days in Switzerland and I might never want to leave.
