All about racing
I have no time to actually write something so…look at these pictures! Now I’m off to run. A race morning note from the homestay fam. Race morning prep. Huge crowds turned up at Gallagher Bch. I ran well in a late afternoon ITU race for the first time since…well, a very long time.

En route to another excellent partial-race in Buffalo. On to the next one: I’m gearing up for the Huatulco ITU World Cup this weekend, my first WC since March. A wise man once said: “If one is to race in Mexico one must embrace Mexico…”
