Placed 33 in the 2008 Spudman (1500 athletes), Sub 40 min in the Speedy Spaniard. Sub 19 in several 5Ks. 18:26 on May 26, 2008, fastest 5k in the last 10 years.
Short-Term Running Goals:
Improve swim from 16 min 800 meter to sub 15 min (accomplished 1/29/08, need to replicate). Now want a sub 30min 1600m swim. Race at over a 23 MPH bike. Run a sub 43 min 10k on a tri leg. Ran a 42:20 at 08 Spudman. Run a 18:30 5k 18:26, 5/26/08 MVP run, run a 38: 59 in a 10 K.
Long-Term Running Goals:
Don't get injured. Stay in the game!! Train for old age.
Personal:
Married to Kelly. Have three daughters. Professionally, I am involved with health promotions, so it is great to see people active. Coached track and cross country many years on the Jr. high level.
This is the first time I have swam for 45 min straight. I tried to stay relaxed with good form. Not exactally successful, but not too bad. I was swimming 62 sec per laps. Now a 800 just does not seem too long.
There are two races in September. Both are full International distance (1500 swim, 40k bike, 10k run). I did the Yuba (Sept 6) in 2006 and took 3rd overall. There is one in Ogden canyon the next week which has a few more participants but is not stacked. I could compete very well at both of them. I have not made up my mind what to do. I hate going to a new race and not know how it works and where to stay. I would like to race for a 10K time at Onion Days too.
