The shoulder is good, the bikes are updated, and the motivation has returned. I've decided that there will be lots of racing this summer starting with a Half Ironman in Illinois. I did this race a couple of years ago right before I got hurt, and if I remember correctly the race will hurt - A LOT.
It is now March 12. I'm going on vacation until March 20th and then in the shadow of Rocky I will begin my training. Rockman looms in the distance, and a bunch of my friends will be there. The shoulder is good, the bikes are ready to get the dust off, and the pool is calling.
So what has happened since I last updated? Well, I got fat. I ate and drank a lot. I built some nice bikes, and I logged about 3500 miles in the saddle. One thing I learned is that without the pool and the run I lose motivation. I didn't even cook anything worthwhile. I did make some killer wings the other day, but that is really not on topic.
I made some great new friends. One si a kid that could win Junior Nationals if we could get him there and the other is a really strong Duathlete that has a way of kicking my butt and making me feel like I'm doing him the favor.
Since I'm officially out of training at the moment I'll share some pics of the big winter party - The Mustachio Bachio
