It’s been awhile since I have blogged, just have been way
too busy. I just tried to do Muncie which was shortened and that was probably
for the best regardless. It was pretty hot and while I think I could have
gotten through the entire race as I have been training pretty hard, I was glad
I didn’t have to. I was able to get the AG win which just keeps becoming harder
and harder. Great guys out there, all racing really fast.
Racine I was a ghost. My name wasn’t on the registration
list, even after we got that sorted out I didn’t seem to show up on the results
either??? Probably for the best as I really didn’t have a good day. In fact I
haven’t felt that bad in a race in years. No idea why, I think it was just one
of those days. I swam best I can tell around 25 min, rode 2:12, and then
brought it home with a mind blowing 1:52 run! LOL – I wanted to quit so bad but
the support of all the local athletes standing out and cheering for me I
thought I owed them the respect of finishing, so I did. I guess lucky for me my
name isn’t showing up for an official finish.
One of the reasons I think I wasn’t in the groove was the
double taper from Muncie and Racine. I never taper well, and doing two in a
row, I think it was just too much. The other reason is I have been fortunate enough
to play host to Crowie and Mat Steinmetz. Bot awesome dudes, but they have a
busy schedule and I have been trying to help them get to all the things they
need to be at. I will say this though, totally worth it. Craig, is fast of
course, but more importantly, really is an awesome dude. I feel fortunate to
have gotten to become one of his friends. We go to the wind tunnel tomorrow,
then train another week before he heads back to Boulder where I may be able to
go do a training block with him as well. Very cool.

Sorry to hear you weren't feeing "it".
I saw you on the IMMOO start list a few months ago but now nothing with the bib # release.
I was planning on chasing you all Madison! What's up?
