Hey! Guess what? I didn't fall off the face of the Earth...it just appeared that way! Life just got extremely busy and I took a little break, but I'mmmmmmmm Baaaaack!

It's a lighter calendar than years past, but I think smarter as I work up to my first full Ironman, and a very aggressive one at that. It has a lot of variety too, which I think is fun. Of course, I may add a few other events here and there, depending on my schedule and how I'm feeling, and, well, honestly, what I get uber-excited about and talked into by the mere mention of a race other friends are doing! June looks pretty full, with a race every weekend, so I may end up adjusting that. I am for sure doing Pac Crest Long Course as it is at elevation and will be a good indicator of how my training is doing to prepare me for IM Tahoe.
The 2013 Race Team training plan comes out January 21st, and I'm ready to start.
Let's do this thing!!
