Its Been A Long Time Coming!

Good evening kids!

I am sitting at my house, multi tasking. Every Monday evening for work, I pick a television show from another competing network station, and watch for all of the local commercials that are being aired. That way, I can watch for any new potential clients, and also see if any of my clients are cheating on me... haha. So I am watching Dancing with the Stars (don't laugh) and recording commercials, while also writing on my blog.

It has been a couple weeks since you folks have last heard from me. I have been really busy with both of my jobs, and fitting in work outs. Since the last time I have posted, I have completed my longest bike ride of the year (50 miles), longest swim of the year (30 laps), and longest run of the year (4 miles). I have also signed up for my first Triathalon of of year... The Siouxperman Tri in Sioux Center IA. I was rather reluctant to enter into the event, as I wasn't really excited to pay $60 to enter the race, just to find out how out of shape I am. But a fellow co worker (and triathlete), and my wife were telling me I have to do this one to gauge just exactly how far, or close I am to being where I want to be at this stage of the training.

I will be the first one to tell you that I haven't strictly followed a game plan as to a path to the promised land of Tri's, but I have been working out to maintain and continue to grow my endurance, and will continue to get better week by week, and be in fine form come September.

So whats up with this Siouxperman Tri??? Its very much a sprint to the finish. It consists of 300M Swimming, 25k Bike, and a 5k run. I will not expect to break records, but at the same time, I do want to do good. This is my first ever outdoor triathalon with true transitions, so it will be as much of a learning experience, as well as a great gauge of endurance.

To be honest, I haven't been this excited to be a part of an athletic event since I played college basketball. Its nice to get involved in sport again, and I cannot wait to see how it unfolds.

I will have all of the details about this weekend posted on here ASAP. And oh yeah, did I mention to that my good pal Kenny works at the Country Club in Sioux Center, and has hooked up with a Saturday afternoon tee time with the locals. Thanks Buddy!

Until Next Time!
