Blogging in pictures
There were a lot of things I did not get around to writing about in 2012. I’ll be honest, I fell victim to my own theory that when things don’t go to plan it is hard to sit down and write about it. So here are some pictures that sum up the lead-up to Olympic […]

I spent the interim period between Mooloolaba WC and Sydney WCS in the suburbs of Brisbane. I was specifically in the Carindale/Carina region training with a little triathlon squad coached by Warwick Dalziel, a friend of my coach.

Well I’m back from Australia and after a whirlwind of jet lag, taxes, and trying to organize all of the new gear I got from Shimano, Orbea and Rudy Project I finally have some time to blog! If nothing else the races in Mooloolaba and Sydney gave me a big list of things to work
It’s always cool to see the ‘zero’ on the Olympic countdown signs here at the OTC. Although I hope I don’t see it in 2012!
Training is going well out in Colorado. I love running on the trails around Colorado Springs – Palmer Park, Bear Creek, Rampart Ridge Road, or the old stand by: the Monument Trail. The weather in January was nice so I was even able to ride outside a bit. Here are some pics: Palmer Park. There

A couple days after my last race in Clearwater I took off for a little vacation in Japan. It was pretty fun – three days in Tokyo, three in Kyoto, and then back to Tokyo before coming back to the US. Japan is an amazing country, especially this time of year – it’s Fall there
