A long Winter!!
Ok so I haved blogged anything since October!! It’s been a busy winter and now that triathlon season is upon us I’ve decided that I need to do a better job keeping up with this blog. Soooooo…I officially kicked off my pro triathlon career and my 2008 season this past weekend at Ironman California 70.3. Although I had a great experience and finished with a solid effort, it was not exactly what I was hoping for. I had a pretty good swim exiting with the main pack and had a solid bike considering it’s only March. I rode myself into 15th position after the bike. However, exiting T2 my lower back cramped pretty severely and I shuffled 13.1 miles in quite a bit of pain, almost 10 minutes slower than I know I am capable. I finished 25th in a field of almost 50 pro triathletes and ultimately, I am pleased considering it is only March and I have a long season ahead of me. Full race repor to follow.
After the race I was in Carlsbad for 3 days for fun in the sun at the Timex Multisport Camp, which was a blast. The people that compose this team, both athletes, managment and the Timex corporation are all truly great and inspiring in so many ways. I’m very excited to be back on the team this year and looking forward to a great 2008.
