Ironman 2008 Kona-Lottery

Okay, I couldn't resist, I missed the 15 minute window to get in to the NYC triathlon. I was pissed, this is the second year in a row that I've missed that race. So, rather than not do a high profile race this year, I entered in the lottery for Ironman 2008. I'll put a couple of shorter races on the schedule this year and will get a 1/2 distance in which I'm not concerned about but I think Kevin has made me drink the Kool-aid and planted the seed that I could do it. I'll update everyone when I find out the results.

Oh yeah, forgot to show off the new ride!!!

Still riding the old bike but will sell it shortly and put those proceeds towards some new carbon race wheels or a new tri bike. Can't wait to see everyone on the road. Edit: have a couple of miles on the new bike and it's so stable and stiff. The bike is fast and I'll have to update the wheels, I'm completely happy with the purchase. I built the bike up myself so I feel pretty comfortable with everything I need to do to my bike now.

winter training........

Not much to report, I've been trying to pick up some wheels through ebay but haven't had any luck. My training has been spotty at best but have had a good couple of weeks. It seems like the last few months have been spent eating cheeseburgers and swilling brew but I think I'm back on track. I probably won't race till April but plan on having a good season like I did last year. still no new frame, the Scott didn't pan our which pisses me off but for now I'm happy just putting some miles in. I may go down to Austin and run the 1/2 marathon but am going to focus more on cycling than anything else for the next few months. Hope everyone is training well. Be carefull of the winter injuries. Here's a cycling related pic, only becuase it's from pez.
