Triathlon-ing

Half-way through the "Andy B. Endurance Event world tour"...it started with Eagleman, continued with Xterra East Champs. last weekend, Bath County Sprint tri this weekend, and THEN the grand finale with the 11th Annual Tour DAY Burg!!

Xterra was a blast, and it was great chance to change it up once in a while with an off-road event. Didn't really finish as strongly as I would have liked, but no worries...the road is where I'm more suited and I'll have my chance to shine bright and early tomorrow! Following this tri is a post-race celebration with a couple friends at a Dave Matthews show up at Nissan Pavilion. Hopefully I'll have some energy left to enjoy it.

Work is busy, and thus the reason I've been lacking in the posting department. My B(ad).

Get outside!

Eagleman re-cap


Well, its over. In the books. I came away with a 5:02:and some change finish, and a 5th place in my age-group. A solid result, but not exactly my goal time. The amount of chop during the swim, and lack of tail-wind on the bike was something I just wasn't expecting, and both combined to take the proverbial wind out of my sails. No worries, I came away with one bad ass tank top sun burn and an award with a sweet eagle on it as a result. The race weekend was a total blast, and am glad I got to spend it with a lot of friendly faces. Time to get started on my active recovery for Xterra Richmond coming up. Its going to be another amazing weekend! Cheers!

Eagleman

1 day to go. I'm feeling strong physically, confident mentally, and those two combined make me a bit nervous. Which, when I think about it, is probably a good thing so that I stay on my toes and don't get over-relaxed come race day. I'm hoping for a strong result tomorrow, and wish that I come away with one of those precious Hawaii slots. Its going to take a perfect race, perfect(read: HOT) weather conditions, and a bit of luck. We'll see what happens! Thanks to all the warm wishes and good vibes sent my away. See you at the finish line!

Daydream


Sitting in my cube at work(working diligently, of course) I sometimes wish I could just escape to probably the coolest little town in the U.S....Crested Butte, CO. All the snow sports you could want in the winter, and all the mountain biking/hiking you could ever need in the summer. Get me there!
