2009, the times they are a changin...

It seems like just yesterday I was celebrating New Years. I was looking forward to my first season competing with a bit more purpose and being a part of a team. I am all ready blown away by the awesome people I have gotten to know on the RACING GREYHOUNDS. (and yes, the teams official spelling is all capitals). I am looking forward to some group training when the weather breaks. We have our team kits ordered, they're expected to arrive sometime in March. I already have my team helmet, socks and podium t-shirt. I've been told to swing by the bike shop and pick up my 2 team issue water bottles. I have approval from the team for my tentative racing schedule, and let me tell you we are having some fuuuuun this year. If you want to see what the team kits look like just click on the RACING GREYHOUNDS logo over on the left.

You might notice the new look to the site. I thought a freshening up was in order and I have a few more things I want to add in the future. Keep on coming by, you never know what new things I might be adding. I have also decided on no more logos unless I am either a) being paid for advertisement or b) sponsored in some way, shape or form by the company whose logo is there. I love the Evo Tri team and will continue to support them but I always felt guilty with all their sponsors links and I don't use or am not provided the oppourtunity to use any of them. From now on if you see it on my site, I either use it, endorse it or am paid to place it. If you have a product you'd like me to review or endorse drop me an email I'm sure we can work something out. If you want to sponsor me in some way PLEASE drop me an email, I would love to chat with you about my goals and aspirations.

As far as my off season training goes, I just started back into it in January. I just finished a 30 day 300+ mile bike focus. (mostly trainer workouts, but some mountain bike trail riding as well) I finishing up an easier/transition week getting ready to start a run focus month next. It's killing me, but so far I've avoided the pool since the first of the year. I'm trying to work on my weakness first this year.

Ok... Next week I'll announce my 2009 race calendar as it stands right now. Until later, keep training, it's the fitness gained in the off season that carries you in the heat of the race.
