OK, I meant to post this past weekend, but with an 8 month old, your free time is limited. Let's talk about my other part time job, Triathlons. For the past 11 years I have been competing in triathlons and something which started as a hobby became my passion. For me, everything started in Tampa, FL where one of closest friends, Dr. Al Almengual got me started. Since 1997, each year has been a learning experience and I am still learning today. For me, I have focused on the shorter distance races: sprints, Olympic and half distance races. This type of racing is personally more fun... Since I am someone who likes to race, I compete in about 10 races per season. From a training perspective, I put in about 15 to 22 hours per week depending on the phase of training. About 5 years ago, I wanted to get to the next level and the only way to achieve better results was to start working with a coach. A coach provides structure and accountability. My racing and training took a change in 2008 when I changed coaches and started working with Brian Stover. With his knowledge and schedule planning, racing and training went to a new level. The 2008 season ended with a solid 4:22 at the Amelia Island Half Ironman.

Stay tuned for an update on the 2009 season...
