The only bike this week was during the duathlon and I think I did well to maintain a 20 mph pace.

Weekly Reflections and Focus

There isn’t much to write.  I have slipped a bit from focused attention toward my Half Ironman in St George as it was my ‘A’ event.  I participated in a local Duathlon, where I ended up being 18 overall out of 60 participants.  The 1st run felt good, although I toned it back a bit.  I really went after it on the bike and this is where I made up significant ground.  There were two dinks on the course, one being a large grey diesel truck in Mendon.  There was a moment when I thought that Jesse Dunn may have been at risk and i signaled to the driver to hold and wait for him to pass (Jesse was 1st place overall).  The driver then went on to ‘roll’ his exhaust for about .25 miles up hill next to about 10-15 riders.  Most of whom I passed prior to the turn around.  The last run I slipped a bit, and I took an extra minute in transition switching out of my jersey and just keeping on my tri kit.  You know what?  I love my kit.  I fell like Castelli just understands me.

Anyway, it’s been a low key week.  A lot of catching up with local workers and colleagues and making sure I don’t slip into old habits.  It’s time to re-focus.  it’s time to concentrate on nutrition.  It’s time to re-center and build life balance.  Liz and I and family have been trying to concentrate on our family unit.  Hopefully i pays off, as I feel that Dennis is still struggling with our family dynamic that has changed since Juniper arrived.

This is my short and sweet weekly update.  Cheers!
