Colorado for the Winter
I just arrived back in Colorado Springs after a two month hiatus from the training center and I'm currently in the middle of week five of base training for the 2010 season. I have no plans to go anywhere warm for base training, the theory being that I do very well training at altitude. My two best results →
End of the Season Break – Ironman 70.3 Style
A few days after returning from Australia I flew back to Florida to visit home. It was a great way to unwind after all the traveling and racing of late! While I was down there I helped out at the Kids4Kids youth triathlon clinic in Gainesville, FL (in conjunction with the Kids4Kids Triathlon that happened one week later). →
Altitude
Well I finally made it - I am now a resident athlete at the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center! "Made it" not only in the sense that my days of epic solo road trips are over (Orlando to San Diego in December and San Diego - OK City - Austin - Colorado Springs more recently), but also in the →
Florida Fun
After St. Anthony's I decided to spend a little bit of time in my home state visiting friends and family and generally having a ton of fun in Florida! Here is a little bit of what I did: I stayed with my coach Jen Hutchison in St. Pete for a few days. She made me a pancake breakfast the →
I’m Spoiled

My time here is almost up and I will soon be moving to my "long term" resident location at the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs, and even though Colorado Springs is equally awesome I will be the first to admit that I will miss training in Chula. The warm San Diego weather, the →
New for ’09
Oh hi. It's been awhile but I'm back to blogging for 2009. Thanks for reading! So what's new in the world of Kevin Collington? I know everyone is just dying to know. First off, I moved! I managed to acquire full-time Olympic Training Center 'resident' status for 2009 so I packed up and left Florida on →
San Fran Race Report
Or, How I Ended Up in Kenya 45 Hours Later As I mentioned previously the San Francisco Triathlon at Treasure Island was a pretty good race for me. Yes, my run wasn't nearly as it dominant as it has been throughout the year, and I know my ninth place finish might not look like anything special. However, I managed →
Stuck in Colorado
I was going to fly back to Florida this week but not anymore (not that I'm complaining!). The only problem is that I'm racing the Chicago Triathlon this weekend and I was going home to get race wheels!Tropical Storm FaySo, in the mean time the Olympic Training Center was nice enough to give me a room for an extra →
Graduation!
That's right - I graduated - B.S. Mechanical Engineering. University of Florida c/o 2008. Me and my friend Laura before graduation. She's pretty smart - an aerospace engineer (rocket scientist!) - but it doesn't necessarily carry over to putting a hat on the right way. College of Engineering Commencement So no more school to get in the way →
