- I remember a few years ago my wife Tracy and I sat and at breakfast at Salt Works and watched the triathlon bikers wiz by. I then realized I had distanced myself from athletics and needed to get my self in gear. Then January ’09 a friend said “a few of us are going to do the YMCA tri” The timing was right so I signed up. As I went from “Couch Tater” to “Tri Tater” I kept signing up for more tri’s.
- The balancing act is hard; work isn’t the challenge as I have a predictable 8-5 schedule. But, I have two young boys and I don’t like to miss a second with them; and Tracy is now training. I try to get as much done before 7am as possible; I squeeze a lot of running, swimming in the mornings, but the long weekend bike rides or runs are tough. I envisioned us training together, but the reality is that we swap turns tending the kids. Hopefully this year we can do more of the weekend stuff together.
- Good training tip- don’t be scared to ask for advice; I have found the Tri community to be the most helpful, inspiring group of people I’ve encountered. I am the one still getting the tips at this point.
- I am proud of all the races last year, had a rough start early season with some poor swims. I tried to find the positive in each race, and work on the negative harder. I set my sights for a decent B2B half race and trained for the long haul. It felt like it all fell into place and I had a decent race; So I am pleased overall with the season
- Inspirations- my sister is battling advanced melanoma. I think about her every hour, and how life can change quickly. I want to “live my dash”. That’s the meaningful things in life between the year of birth and death. 1970- What’s your dash?
