Photos Pt. 2

We were very fortunate to hook up with a great water photographer, Tim Calver. These shots are some of our coaches in the new Blue Seventy Point Zero3 and Helix suits. The best suits on the market by far. We have tried so many others and these have the best construction, best flexibility and materials and are the fastest. If you go to our YouTube channel you can watch a swim test with them. Thanks for reading.

The descent!

Watch the first video below before this one. This is the 5K descent down and I am not much a descender so take that for what it is worth. Still a fun watch though.

Beech Mountain

The video tells the story. This is one of my favorite places.

My little girl turned three the other day. I am very lucky on so many fronts to have great things in my life. I once read a great quote: 'Some days your the pigeon and some days your the statue.'. Interesting?

Lessons Learned

Thanks for reading my posts. I know all three and a half of you out there.

Learning comes to us in so many different ways. Often we seek out lessons and then at other times they come to us without an invitation. I think I probably learn at least three new things each day. Sometimes they are trivial and sometimes they are life changing. So below is my humorous/serious list of things recently learned:
-I got the Weather channel app on my iPhone and I now have a real time Weather satellite image of where I am at all times
-John Reback is always clean shaven at races. He shaves the night before, BRILLIANT.
-Running at any age does not damage your joints, read the CNN article here: http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/03/23/hm.running.aging/index.html
-I can not race the 35+ crit races in Florida yet. They are strong.
-Jealousy is one of the most evil things I know and leads to conflicts on a variety of levels. Do you have jealousy about or for something? Get rid of it, throw it out and don't get it back.

I think that might be it for today. Thanks for reading.

Racing

Racing again.
Growing up I always had the attention span of a peanut. Like most kids I would start playing with one toy and then quickly turn my attention to another. No patience and always searching for the bigger better thing. As I grew older not much changed. HUH, go figure. I would try out different things, always moving fast, driving fast and not sitting still for much of anything. Tried golf but no way. Turned to sky diving and while very exciting it scared the fricking hell out of me. But, that's a whole other blog post. Weight training? Ok, I got big and lean but so what. How many jars of peanut butter could I help open for friends with my new found muscles. Went to running and felt ok. Fun, challenging and could stick with it. The triathlon. OK, so I am hooked and still am into it going on my, UGH, 14th season. I could have been a lot better athlete had I not decided to be a coach but again, another blog post.
WHAT DOES INTEREST ME?

It is the fact that after all these years I still get giddy when getting ready to race and I am still very into racing. I was just getting my Specialized Transition dialed in to race tomorrow and I am as excited as I was before my first race. It is a small Sprint Tri and they hurt loads but I can't wait to race it. The pictures to the right are of the bike ready to race. So my attention span of a peanut is still there just channeled differently. I guess somtimes we find things in life that are meant for us. I found triathlons, coffee and pizza.

Testing new mobile blogging.
