What a great End Of Season Kona viewing party to cheer on teammates Bob and Andrew, as well as watch a very dramatic pro race. 🥳
-
This is a one of a kind crew who we are so grateful for. These folks are not only great athletes, but are also uniquely and genuinely vested in each other’s success. A rarity in an a sport that breeds individual achievement. ♥️ 🖤
-
We are quickly adding to our roster for next season, so if you’d like to learn more or come on board either locally or remotely, now is a great time to connect and have a conversation!

Athlete Spotlight - Candace Hartman
-
Everyone needs a Candace in their corner and on their team.
-
A cancer survivor, a great athlete, a devoted wife and mother, and director of marketing at First Weber Real Estate, Candace wears a lot of hats.
-
Sport holds an important place in her life for many reasons. It’s a way to pursue goals, connect with friends, share something she loves with her husband, and stay healthy.
-
Candace is also one of our most team oriented local athletes. From showing up regularly at practices and being an accountability buddy to organizing casual apparel orders, offering valuable feedback/suggestions, and encouraging teammates to sign up for races, she does so much for those around her.
-
After Unbound, a 70.3 and some running races in 2026, Candace is still formulating her 2027 plans. We are excited for what lays ahead for her.
-
Teams are stronger because of people like Candace. We’re grateful to have her in our corner and proud to have her on Team BBMC!

THE race week of race weeks is HERE. The IRONMAN World Championship!!! From the speedy age group athletes to the legacy athletes who have spent years earning their opportunity, Kona brings together some incredible people.
-
The talent, the time commitment and the dedication to their craft... those who earn the chance to race on this stage inspire us all.
-
This year, Andrew Nagel and Bob Schaller are representing BBMC on the island! Andrew is making his Kona debut. He's a new dad, he's got a career and though training time is limited, he's shown his son that we can all do hard things..... Bob returns as a veteran. He's one of the best in the world in his AG and thrives in big moments. Both have put in the work, set their goals and are ready to see what they can do.
-
We have had dozens of athletes qualify for the Big Island over the years, and as a coach, being part of those journeys never gets old. For some, Kona is the realization of a lifelong dream. For others, it is a chance to compete against the best in their age group. Each journey is different, but every one represents years of commitment and a whole lot of heart.
-
Andrew and Bob, take a moment this week to soak it all in. You have earned your place on that start line. Trust your preparation, embrace the challenge and know that your BBMC crew will be cheering you on all the way to Aliʻi Drive. LET’S GO!!!

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT - Brandon Weiss
-
Endurance sport is largely a solo endeavor. Trips to the pool in the dark, long hours alone on the bike and early Sunday morning runs.
-
Though that is often the reality of training for long course racing, you would never know it if you simply followed Brandon Weiss around throughout the year.
-
Brandon loves seeing his teammates and friends succeed as much as, if not more than, he loves succeeding himself. He is always up for an adventure, as you can see from some of these pictures, and has traveled halfway around the world just to provide race support.
-
Every training group and team should have a Brandon. We have been lucky enough to have ours for 14 years.
-
He is a scientist at a biotech company by day, fueled by Mountain Dew on long rides and equipped with an incredible sense of humor and a heart of gold.
-
A former collegiate runner, Brandon has a sub 15 minute 5K on his résumé. Since then, he has dedicated much of his adult life to threading endurance sport into his world. He has raced at the IRONMAN World Championship and finished among the top one percent at IRONMAN Wisconsin in 2017, back when the race had more than 2,500 finishers, roughly twice today’s numbers.
-
Brandon is heading to Lake Placid in 2027 with a great group of teammates. We are not overstating it when we say that one of the most exciting parts of the entire experience will simply be having him there for all the fun. Thank you for all you do for your team and your teammates!
-
BOOYAH!

WOW !!!
-
Congratulations to Jenn Kavanaugh on taking second place at the Fox Cities Half Marathon this morning! Jenn clocked a time of 1:25, setting a new PR by 3:01!
-
How does an experienced athlete who is also an executive and a mom keep getting faster?
-
CONSISTENCY WINS
-
We value the ability to train consistently over heroic workouts that increase the risk of injury or require extended recovery.
-
RESPECT HER TRAVEL SCHEDULE
-
We work around Jenn’s schedule when she travels. We do not move a hard workout or long run forward simply because she has a trip coming up. When given the choice between more or less recovery time between key sessions, we almost always choose more.
-
BE FLEXIBLE WITH KIDS
-
Any parent will tell you that a week that goes to plan is rare. Kids get sick, parents get sick, kids can't sleep, parents don't sleep... we don't stress when we hit speed bumps and we protect our fitness. We take an extra day to reset where and when we need, even if it means a red box or a less pretty Strava chart.
-
THRESHOLD WORK IS KEY
-
At this level, Jenn’s threshold pace and half marathon pace are not very far apart. We focus on improving her threshold throughout much of the year, then make it a little more race specific during the final build.
-
PACE WITH DISCIPLINE
-
We do not begin at an overly aggressive pace. We start near a level Jenn has demonstrated she can sustain, then send it during the second half if she is feeling strong.
-
GO HAVE FUN
-
There will always be more races and more opportunities to perform. Jenn shows up to have fun, compete, and do what she loves. The results tend to follow.
-
Congratulations, Jenn! This was incredibly well deserved!

We often get asked about WHAT to put in your personal needs bag of an Ironman… here is a picture and cross section of small number of throw away bags… as you can see, there is no secret, nor one size fits all.
-
Our advice is to trial it all in training and let the successes drive your race day decisions. That’s where a confident nutrition plan is rooted!
