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.
