An Update...

An Update that is long overdue!

For some reason the warm sunny days have kept me from updating my blog. But now that it's pouring rain here in Boulder, I have the morning to write and prepare myself for a brutal indoor ride with the Tour on in the background.

My last race was the Buffalo Springs 70.3 in Lubbock Texas. It was a great race with a few hills on the bike and run to mix it up. I had a solid swim or at least what I call worthy of solid! On the bike is where I was able to make gains and push the pace. The bike course was a mix of flat stretches with a few short rollers to break up the field. I was stoked to come into T2 with almost a 7-minute lead to Megali Tisserye. My running has been consistent since Wildflower but no real workouts have been done to outrun Megali. I knew this going into the race and wanted to see how long I could hold her off. It wasn't until mile 10 of the race when she caught me. I felt strong and kept her in my vision as best I could. Unfortunately she got smaller and smaller in the distance!

Since then I've been feeling great. I've had a few days of rest which have coincided well with the Tour! I'm gearing up for two races in two weeks: Boulder Peak and Vineman...
