A few frames from Blake’s episode of Beyond the Blur.

After years as a competitive swimmer, college ended—but the athlete in him didn’t. Blake’s story is about identity, competition, and figuring out what the next chapter looks like when something that once defined you is suddenly gone.

Watch the full episode now on Cannondale’s YouTube channel.

What happens when the sport that shaped so much of your identity is suddenly no longer part of your everyday life?

For Blake, the end of college swimming didn’t mean the athlete in him disappeared. It meant figuring out what competition, structure, and movement looked like in a completely different chapter.

That transition is at the center of Episode Three of Beyond the Blur.

A few frames from Episode Two.

This episode is probably the most personal part of Beyond The Blur for me. It explores the role endurance sport has played in my life, the good that can come from pushing yourself, and the challenge of recognizing when that same drive starts pulling you out of balance.

I don’t think there is a perfect answer to any of it. That’s probably what made this story worth telling.

Episode Two of Beyond the Blur is live now on Cannondale’s YouTube channel.

Episode Two is out, and this one feels a little different.
It’s one thing to help create a project like Beyond the Blur. It’s another thing entirely to know that your own story is now part of it for everyone to see.
This episode gets into my relationship with mental health, endurance sport, and the ongoing challenge of finding balance between pushing forward and knowing when to pull back.
Definitely uncomfortable to share. Probably also part of why it was worth sharing.

Why Unbound?

Because 200 miles has a way of stripping things down.

The training. The planning. The gear. The expectations. Eventually, all of it gets tested by weather, fatigue, mechanicals, doubt, and whatever the day decides to give you.

That uncertainty is exactly why Unbound became the backdrop for Beyond the Blur.

The race matters, but the real story is what happens to each of us on the way there.

Episode One is live now on Cannondale’s YouTube channel.

It’s finally here.

Beyond the Blur follows four everyday athletes on the road to the Unbound Gravel 200, exploring the lives, challenges, and motivations that exist far beyond race day.

Six episodes. Four stories. One very long road to Kansas.

Episode One is live now on Cannondale’s YouTube channel.
