The Training Season begins

I hope all is well out there. The training season officially kicked off with a good week of training followed by racing the PF Chang's 1/2 Marathon in Phoenix. The race went well and I am happy with it.. especially after a 3hr+ bike ride the day before. right at 6:20 mile pace for a 1:23.01... The race also served as a good beta test for Trakkers as we had many athletes out there testing the devices. The testing went great and I look forward to the official launch of it.. keep checking www.trakkersgps.com..

I also have been training with my Friend from Boulder - Carole Sharpless. She is a hoot and holler as normal.. I am looking forward to my lunch she owes me after losing a bet on the PF Chang's race... can we say "Ruth Chris Steakhouse" .. just kidding I am sure it will be more like taco bell value menu.. but the company is all that matters..

So only about 15 weeks to St George Ironman and then time to think about the Rev2Tri races (www.rev3tri.com).. so the training is in full mode... looking forward to running in my new Saucony shoes..

BTW if you have not tried the new formula for First Endurance's Optygen HP - you should.. it is awesome... Thanks Robert and tema for making great products..

Finally a quick shout to my Coach Bettina a Racelab (www.racelab.com) who is continuing to find new ways to push me and work to get me stronger and faster... to deal with me she should get paid a lot more.. really she is great.. thanks Bettina and thanks everyone who was cheering on Sunday..

Happy Training.

Mirror blogging with Facebook

I am trying out this mirror blogging application on facebook to see how it works... will let everyone know if it is worth it.. this should allow me to log in to facebook only and then add to my blog here and it gets copied to my blogspot address.. nice feature if it works correctly... now off to do some Christmas shopping..

The blogging begins...

I am hoping this new blog will help me combine the other few that I have into 1 so I can go to one spot only... that will make things much easier on me...

I am looking forward to another great year in 2010 that could not be done with out my family, friends, and of course all my awesom sponsors.... some exciting events this year in the Revolution 3 triathlon series as well as the red rock races... looking forward to those as well as Ironman St George in May and Arizona in November... strating to work with my head coach Bettina from racelab on my upcoming season... some other exciting things are the new First Endurance Products as well as the long awaited public debut of the Trakkers device...
