Is It Spring Yet?

Well its been a long time since I posted, and a lot has happened for me. I have been having a great time with Sublime Athletics working with some great athletes, and finding out just how many people out there really love to compete and race at their best. I have also left my career of 11 years; Ferris, Baker Watts is no more. It was a great run, and I hope to work with some of my friends again in the near future.
I have been very busy training and learning a lot about what it takes to be a Professional; I had no idea the amount of recovery i was missing out on! 2 a day workouts, and longer days have been much easier for me in a lot of ways; lets just hope I can make it pay off. So far I am only registered for 2 races: Ironman Arizona on November 22nd, and XTERRA Atlantic Cup in Richmond, VA on 6/14/09. The XTERRA will be my Pro debut as an Off Road Triathlete; something I have wanted to do for 8 years. One of my competitors in the past who is an excellent racer is also racing Pro which is exciting. In XTERRA I really haven't seen many age groupers move up to the Pro ranks which is unfortunate. Upgrading is not an easy process due to the current USA Triathlon rules, and that is the problem. Regardless of that it should be exciting! I will be making regular posts, and am working on a training blog as well; I will post the link when its up and running. I hope this weather holds now its time for Spring and summer!
