Not that long ago I was in the worst physical shape in my entire life and yesterday I raced a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run. I'm still shocked that I did that,
Last Thursday night under the bright lights of Vegas Bec and I placed 5th and 6th at the Super Sprint Grand Prix Triathlon. This is a new (to the US) format of triathlon racing. It has been popular in Australia and Europe for awhile and the Aussie race organizer, Mark Lees, has been working hard to bring it to the US. He set it up in conjunction with the Interbike trade show which was going on in Vegas last week. Unfortunately, the venue had to be moved across town - fine by me - better pictures with the Wynn and Encore in the background! 
After over doing it last week, this week has been all about simplifying things. It's been all about relaxing, spending time with family (my mom, dad and Laurel are here) and enjoying the last few days of summer.
The Shawanathon is a multi-leg endurance challenge that takes place annually in the Shawangunk Mountains surrounding New Paltz, NY. If you’ve never heard of it, that’s because it is a small, but very competitive, invitation-only event.
