After 1.5K of ocean swimming, 40K of cycling and 9.7K of running with 74 of my best amigos, the title of this post is what I yelled at the six ITU delegates standing on the side of the road in Mooloolaba. You see, I take things very literally, and if you call something the “penalty […]

All I can say after racing in this past weekend’s PATCO Championship is thank goodness for ‘test’ events!! The race effectively served as a test for next year’s Pan Am Games (Guadalajara 2011). As major games go Pan Am Games is second only to the Olympics in terms of importance and prestige. As such, I
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

The Hamburg World Cup is an awesome race. Run with German precision, the race is usually quite a spectacle for the people of Hamburg (Hamburgers!). Last year an estimated 300,000 people came out to watch the World Champs and it wasn’t much different at this year’s race where I managed to finish 18th. With that

Here is the long version: We arrived in Turkey after relatively uneventful travel from the States (I did get upgraded to business class for the Chicago – Frankfurt leg, though, which was awesome). We were greeted by some FISU staff and made preparations to leave for Erdek. We just missed the 12:30 ferry to Erdek

Here is the short version of what happened at the race this past weekend. I would post the long version but I just arrived in Germany and it’s past my bedtime. In the women’s race Justine Whipple dominated and brought home the USA’s first World University Championship gold medal. She also lead the way to
