I am putting Jointworx up on my official sponsor page. It a great Physical Therapy clinic in Edwards, CO. I have been affiliated with the clinic since moving to Avon. Everybody there has been great to me and I owe Jointworx a lot of gratitude for keeping me healthy since moving here.

I'd like to welcome Rudy Project as an official sponsor for me for 2010. I'll be looking extra cool in a sweet pair of sunglasses when you see me next. I'm very excited to have them on board.

I am now sponsored by a local bike/ski shop. Avon Venture Sports is a great store with great prices and great service. Check them out when you visit me.

I'm MARRIED! We returned from our honeymoon in New Zealand recently. It was fantastic. A bit of rain, but that didn't preclude us from doing anything that we had planned. We spent a week on the North Island, and a week on the South. We saw some friends, drank some wine, went skiing, kayaking, swimming, sailing, ludging, tramping(kiwi for hiking) and sunbathing. Our flight from Fiji got cancelled, so we got a bonus day in Fiji's sun. I have to tell, it's not a bad place to be stuck for a day!

Another Victory!
I won the 2nd annual Bec Tri. This triathlon is similar to the LG tri, in that it remembers a past triathlete. It is also a small local triathlon that I could walk to, so that makes it a no-brainer to start. Speaking of starts, I led the race from start to finish. It was a well run race for a 2nd year event.

The Zollers Win!
Both Tina and I won the Avon Dunk and Dash this evening. Tina is not yet officially a Zoller until Sept. 26th, but that is close enough. This marks Tina's first win in a race since swimming in high school!

XTERRA Indian Peaks race report
A little side note to this race. I won the swim, and if I hadn't gotten lost on the run, (by my biased calculations) I would have won the run as well! I just have to get this mountain biking together for a killer race.

XTERRA RACE REPORT!

July 17th
I just registered for my 1st XTERRA race. It's tomorrow. We'll see how it goes on my $350 craigslist special mountain bike that doesn't shift very well and the chainrings are worn. Oh, and I got in as a Pro!

Victory! I just won the LG triathlon in Eagle, CO. It was a small race, but wins don't come often these days, so I'm very happy.

Ironman Coeur d'Alene:
Race Report

June 6th
My taper has begun!! Finally! The three weeks leading up to it were very difficult. I raced in the Boulder Swim & Stride this evening. It was a pretty fun race. I felt strong in the swim, but couldn't drop Dan Mackenzie and Matt Balzer. Dan ran away with the race and I was able to hold on to second. It was pretty cool. A 1500m swim followed by a 5k run. These are very even distances by time, so it worked out nicely for Dan and I.

June 21 is still my "A" race: IronmanCDA You can follow it here: Ironman.com

Littlefoot Triathlon
I entered this race at the last minute. I wanted to use it for a hard brick workout, and came out 5th place. I'm happy with this, but I would have like to have a better swim. I've been training on the bike and run a whole lot, and sacrificing the swim, so that kinda showed. The race was put on by Sean Wendt, who ran a great show. It was a small race, but had a great local pro field. It was my first sprint distance since 2007, and that made it interesting. I hadn't gone all out on the bike in a race for a while, but it was fun to get the speed out. The run was an epic battle for 3rd place, between Josh Merrick, Tate Behning, Matt Balzer and me. We went back and forth on such a short run course, so that made it really interesting to watch on a very spectator friendly course.

Wildflower Triathlon
I raced well in California, setting myself up for Ironman Coeur d'Alene. Read my (full race report)

2009
The year is 2009, and we have moved to Denver!
The short story if it: Our visas were denied to New Zealand. We had planned to leave Chicago, and ended up in Denver. Lots of friends, not too far from home, and good training. Instead of Ironman New Zealand, I am planning on racing Wildflower, and Ironman Coeur d'Alene.
