Saturday in St. George marks the most times I’ve ever been called “Andy” in one day. “Go Andy!!!” screamed gaggles of aid station volunteers as I ran by. “So what IS your name?” my lead cyclist finally asked. “Kevin.” I said – easy enough to get out two syllables. “His name is Kevin!” she said […]

I finally got some finish pictures so it’s time to post about last weekend’s Kemah Triathlon. Yes, I won. Yes, it was an aquathlon (swim-run). Flooding on the bike course or something… that makes two races in a row modified due to weather. So effectively I packed my bike up, hauled it to the airport,
I started writing this when it was still winter, but here it is April 22nd and I am just now finishing. So here is my winter update…in the spring. The big news from me is that Lindsey and I moved permanently to Boulder, CO in February. Lindsey and her previous coach, Margie Shapiro, decided to

A little behind the scenes video I made from this past weekend’s FAST Triathlon in Arraial do Cabo, Brazil. My first attempt at a video, enjoy! FAST Tri 2013 Behind The Scenes with Team USA from Kevin Collington on Vimeo.

Duathlons hurt. A lot. I only have two data points, the other being the 2008 San Francisco Conti Cup turned 5K-40K-10K (where I spent the evening post-race curled into the fetal position on the floor). Rev3 Venice was equally painful, and this picture says it all: Why am I sitting in this chair? Because I

I gave the half-iron distance another shot this past weekend at Rev3 Anderson and came away with fifth. The highlight of the day was seeing some good numbers on the bike and getting away with a select group near the end of the ride. However, seeing the times that Starky and Collins rode…I still have
Cancún was a decent race for me this past weekend. I got 13th place, eight seconds out of the top ten, 62 off the winner. It was easily my best ITU finish in a long time, but more importantly it was my BEST draft-legal race ever from a technical standpoint. I led the main group
I have no time to actually write something so…look at these pictures! Now I’m off to run. A race morning note from the homestay fam. Race morning prep. Huge crowds turned up at Gallagher Bch. I ran well in a late afternoon ITU race for the first time since…well, a very long time.
I raced Timberman 70.3 last weekend (well, two weekends ago now) and being that I secured a decent result I think I can justify writing a real race report! After spending the majority of the weekend stuffing calories into my face at local pizza and ice cream shops and driving my rented Suburu Outback around
