Back to work

It's been a while since I've posted, and my excuses are as follows

1) I've been taking 3 business classes to learn how to manage myself as a business.
  -This means a lot of homework; reading, writing, etc.
2) I've been working full time to save money for the 2012 season
3) There hasn't been a lot of significant training sessions yet, and I've been enjoying some time off.

So now that I'm getting back into regular training, finalizing next year's race schedule, and purchasing fill-in bits of winter riding gear, I thought I'd post some pictures of my recent ride. We rode out to Crown Point from my house in Gresham, spending a decent amount of time on next year's Rev3 Portland bike route, pretty cool :)




I have a new training partner, Danny Recordan, who works at Athletes Lounge as a mechanic. Danny and I actually go all the way back to 10&under swim team when we were rivals in the freestyle events. Danny has since finished college, and found cycling, so we'll be putting in some good miles on the bike together. We've already logged a few hundred miles on our mountain bikes as some fun base training, and now we're transitioning to the road to prepare for 2012.

Here's the link to a blog that I've been following, it has nothing to do with triathlon, I just love the clothing that these two Engineers design, and they have the coolest blog I've ever seen, check it out!
