Beyond Work

Racing, cookies, and the things that keep life interesting.

Mountain Biking

I have raced mountain bikes since middle school. I love getting out into the woods and appreciating God's beautiful creation.

Road Biking

I race road bikes for Clemson and use racing as a testbed for pacing, recovery, and performance ideas. Theoretical ideas are great, but every research protocol, model, and crazy idea was tested on me first

Triathlons

What do you do when you're mediocre at most sports? Combine them all together of course, and you become halfway decent! In all seriousness though, the model I am developing reaches beyond cycling and my triathlons serve as a test bed

General Type 2 Fun

Spartans, Savage Races, ultimate frisbee, and general running all live here. Running may be pure torture, but were we not "Born to Run..."

Ride Bike, Eat Cookie.

It started as a cycling mantra, but it has expanded to my whole life. It reminds me why I work and how much joy the little things in life can provide.
