Why I RIDE ENVE

When it comes to professional sport, success is found in the details. Every decision I make has an ultimate impact on my ability to perform on the worlds biggest stage. We all swim, we all bike, we all run. But simply training the three sports does not make a successful professional triathlete. I make sure I have all of my bases covered in order to set myself up for ultimate success. My nutrition, recovery techniques and of course, equipment are all dialed in.
Nutrition and recovery techniques are up to me. I consider these two aspects equally important to swimming, cycling and running. And I treat both like training sessions. So both feel easy to incorporate into my daily routine. But equipment choice is less simple. There are so many brands, so many products and so much varying information it can be hard to figure out what is best. It is really the only aspect of sport that I really have to work on and study in order to make the best decision. Thankfully, a lot of this work has already been taken care of by Maverick Multisport, the most high profile professional triathlon team in the United States. 
When it comes to cycling aerodynamics, there are a few critical aspects to consider: rider position, bike frame, helmet, bottle position and of course, WHEELS.  I am constantly tinkering with my position on the bike, bottle location and small details on my bike frame but one thing I never touch are my ENVE's. And that comes down to trust. I have looked at the data, considered my riding style and trust that these are the fastest wheels on the market. They have powered me to four podium finishes in 2015 and hopefully many more in the future. 

This season I raced the ENVE SES 8.9 Carbon Fiber Road Wheelset with Vittoria Corsa Tubular Tires. For those in checking out the wheels, click HERE
