Furry Friends Jupiter - Jupiter, FL.             Brother Wolf Rescue - Asheville, NC. Hurricane Milton                                         Hurricane Helene When a disaster strikes, it doesn’t just impact people, homes, buildings and roads. It affects our most vulnerable members of our communities - animals. The devastation of Hurricane Helene and Milton impacted many animal rescues across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. Thankfully, animals at most shelters were evacuated early and placed in emergency shelters and fosters ahead of the hurricanes making landfall. With shelters, sanctuaries and farms struggling due to loss of power and water, hundreds of animals have been evacuated from destroyed areas and relocated to various animal shelters across the east coast - or placed in foster homes. Shelters like Brother Wo...

     Unity Park next to downtown Greenville Video of Unity Park after the storm. As you may have noticed, we did not send out our weekly newsletter last week. We were without power for 8 days due to the aftermath of Helene. Currently we are still without internet/cable. Being without power was a minor inconvenience when we think about the thousands of people who lost their homes and businesses, as well as the confirmed 220+ deaths that occurred because of the carnage and destruction by Hurricane Helene. We consider ourselves very lucky that we had no damage to our home and our six animals are healthy and our fish survived. Our wooden fence broke when a tree fell on it but that is the worst of it (a minor and easy-to-fix issue). We live in Greenville, SC – just outside of Traveler’s Rest. We bought our house in 2015, a year after moving to Greenville from Florida. We chose this location because of its proximity to the mountains. Like most people who trade the beach for th...

It's been 18 years since my first Ironman. Eight days ago I completed my 20th Ironman (23rd long distance triathlon) in Chattanooga and it was my best-ever Ironman day in terms of speed and power on the bike and pace on the run. At the age of 42 years, I feel incredibly strong and healthy. I contribute much of my continued success in long distance triathlon to the understanding and application of sport nutrition and nutrient timing. Although there have been several significant advancements in the science of sport nutrition over the past few years which have contributed to faster race performances, I've kept three things the same with my training and race day fueling....... ⚡KEEP IT SIMPLE - my fueling and hydrating strategy is simple (and easy to tweak depending on the weather/distance). It's not complicated, it requires little thinking, it's easy to digest/absorb and I can stick to my strategy on any terrain or in any weather conditions. ⚡LESS IS BEST - more nutrition...

Race Week  We left for Chattanooga on Thursday September 26th around 11am. Most of the drive was in the rain. We drove through Asheville and Knoxville as it's so scenic and our favorite way to go Chattanooga. It rained most of the drive. Two weeks ago we adopted Sunny - a 1-ish-year old, 16 lb terrier mix from the Charlotte Animal Control and this was our first road trip together. My mental health hasn't been the best this past week because I have been really missing Campy (it's been 10 weeks since he passed away) and I wasn't sure how I would be able to put together a good race in Chattanooga. I gave myself a lot of grace going into Chattanooga as I didn't specifically train for the event with Norseman XTRI as my primary focus. I signed up for Chattanooga because I love the course and I love the community/spectator support. I also love hot and humid races. Seeing that the weather was cool and the bike course was entirely changed a month out from the race, I was hav...
