Columbia Triathlon Champion and Record Holder

Chris Lieto had a record breaking win against some of the Worlds best at the Silver Anniversary Columbia Triathlon.

After Wildflower I took a week very easy to get my legs feeling back to normal after running those crazy hills.  I had a good week of training as I prepare for my next 70.3 Ironman in 2 weeks.  This last weekend I wanted to get a good race in to help with my fitness and keep building through the year.  So I decided to race the Columbia Triathlon in Baltimore, Maryland.  It was to be a training race which only means I don’t taper for it and train normal straight up to it because the goal is a race after.  Lance Watson, my coach has really been dialing in my training and things are going in the right directions.  I still......

Wildflower Race Report

It has been a couple years since I have raced Wildflower and I was excited to be there this year.  The last few years I have had an injury and was unable to race.

Wildflower Interview

SRAM rebuild on my Trek

Today, I had the privilege of having Alex Wassmann from SRAM come to my house and dial in my Trek TTX in preparation for Wildflower next weekend.  My TTX is now running like a dream with my SRAM Red group updated and a needed tune up.  Alex handles all of the big teams and athletes for SRAM from the tour teams down to me.  Having him actually come to my house and work on my bikes and even Kaiden’s bike was a huge honor.  Looks like Wildflower will be a great race.  See you all there and come by and check out the TTX.

Weekend of training getting ready for Wildflower

This weekend was a great training block as I head into Wildflower in 2 weeks.  Friday I did the Sea Otter Classic Pro Road Race, and got a great workout.  It was a hilly 70 mile, 8 lap road course outside of Laguna Seca.

Lieto wins Nautica South Beach tri and beats World Champion, Chris McCormack

It was great to be out racing again.  I am excited for the year and being injury free as the season gets started.  Racing in Miami was great.  It was an opportunity for me to get some great speed racing in to hopefully raise my fitness to another level.
