Back in/on the saddle...



It's been a long time.




Too long...and yet, long enough.




2008 was my year to re-group, re-think, rest and understand why I train/race in the first place. And now, with a stronger focus, less distractions, more support and a new bike :), I'm ready to get back into it!


The season started with the ever-stressful registration for Ironman Florida 2009. I'm in! Redemption in Florida, next November. I'm looking forward to finding new motivation and new purpose with this event.



All I need not is a jump start. Training in a new city for the first time is hard. I hope to make some new friends in the process, and some new training partners. It's amazing how easy it is to get out of a routine...and how much harder it is to get back into one. I guess it's part of that "hard" that makes it great.
