It was a good run this year in Flagstaff. A lot of swimming, biking, and running. A LOT of heavy breathing. Despite typical training ups and downs and some short lived exhaustion-induced emotional "moments", it went infinitely better this year; I wasn't fresh off a heat stroke like in 2013, and I was mentally prepared for the challenge. I am super happy with the work I did and I'm counting down the days until I get to race.
This last week everyone has been prepping for races. Jason and Joe are leaving for Chicago WTS, Kevin is racing San Diego International Triathlon, and Brandon and Jen are driving to Buffalo Springs 70.3. I'm not racing until the 12th, but before then I've got some travel to do.

I've just finished up applying for my visa to China. I'm hoping to get my passport back from the visa service in time for my departure to Vitoria, Spain next Wednesday. I'll be there for a week before heading to Hamburg, Germany to race in either the Hamburg WTS individual race or the Mixed Team Relay World Championships! I'll be spending all of July in Europe, racing in China and Hungary as well. I'll have some other updates before then, but I wanted to get an update out before the next phase starts!
