An Update

I've been neglecting my blog as of late. Since Boulder 70.3 I've injured my left heel (causing me to pull out of 70.3 World's); went to Interbike and Vegas for the first time (as the adage goes: what happens in Vegas…); moved back to Tucson; and raced the Arizona State Hill Climb Championships.

2011 has been one of the best seasons (albeit of just three!) I've had as a professional triathlete. Although it was cut short, I'm happy with what I've accomplished. Unfortunately, in trying to do too much too soon after Boulder 70.3, I ended up with a shorter season than intended.

Not racing 70.3 Worlds was tough, but not nearly as hard as I expected. I know that injuries don't just happen and it allowed me to step back and analyze where we went wrong.

I'm now gearing toward 2012 and it's hard to pick which races to do. I'm not complaining. Triathlon has allowed me to live an amazing life thus far and I intend to suck the marrow out of it all!
