What's New?
I've started running barefoot.  Not that I am ever going to compete barefoot, but I am convinced that it is a great training technique.  Read  "Barefoot Running" on sportsci.com or the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougal to learn more.

I will be competing in my first bicycle race this weekend.  The Rim Nordic Cross Country Series Final.  I hope to walk away with a trophy, but thinking like that I'll probably get spanked!  There is a link on the right if you want to learn more.

My training for a few more weeks is:
Bike: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday ~ 50 miles
Run: Tuesday and Thursday ~ 16 miles
Swim: Mon thru Friday  ~ 5 miles

NGU!

47th

I turned 47 this week, which also means that I have been on this road to ironman for a year now. I have come a long way and still have a long way to go. I can rum a marathon in 4 hours swim a mile in 30 minutes and bike all day. I'll be ready when the road ends in Kona.
