<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Back
in 2013, I had tracked all of my triathlon expenses to get an idea of what it
would take financially to race a season of triathlon professionally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the end of the year I looked at what I
spent, and it was SCARY, $13,128 scary to be exact!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was my first year back in the US after 5.5
years of being stationed overseas, and my first year in the US full time, to put
a triathlon schedule together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I lined
up that schedule to what I thought would be pretty comparable to a pro race
schedule, it included races in Florida, Texas, California, Nevada, Wisconsin
and Hawaii.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I
drove to a few of the races keeping the cost somewhat low, as my car got great
gas mileage and I was able to avoid bike fees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I still had a hard time fathoming how I could
possibly make it as a professional with the expenses being pretty high.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That $13K did not include the expenses for
Hawaii and Vegas, as the Air Force had stepped up and covered those races since they
were World Champs at which I was representing them.</span></div>

Beals had written about his financials as a first year pro in a blog titled <a href="http://www.codybeals.com/2015/02/my-rookie-pro-triathlon-budget.html" target="_blank">"My Rookie Pro Triathlon Budget"</a> and that is what inspired this
blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of this will look familiar to
what you may have seen in his blog, and some of it is my own take on the numbers.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">When
I started thinking about making the jump to the pro ranks, my wife and I agreed
that I could do it for 2 years and see what the financial implications were and
then we would re look at it after year 2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I however wanted to make sure that I was making smart business decisions
so that I could continue to do this as long as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We didn't really set a "budget" per
se, but I was loosely watching the amount I was spending on the sport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am in a fortunate situation that I came out
of the Air Force with a bit saved up and was debt free.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I
set out as a first year pro with ZERO expectations on the prize money
front.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had planned a strategic race
schedule to hopefully build up a resume that would help with continuing to grow
my current sponsor relationships as well as build new ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That race schedule just so happened to land
me on some great start lists, so that when I raced to my potential, I was able to
collect a few paychecks.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I
was really fortunate to build a strong sponsor base through my progression as
an age grouper and all of those carried over into the ranks as a
professional.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had hoped to continue to
grow those relationships throughout the season and build upon them.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">It
was pretty simple for year one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Race,
race well, and hopefully lose as little as possible, all while trying to build
a resume and get my name out there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
also wanted to be able to continue to contribute to my retirement fund and max
out my Roth IRA ($5,500).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately
that was not going to be possible purely on triathlon income, so that meant
working a part time job.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I
had been previously volunteering with Team Red, White, and Blue as the National
Triathlon Director.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That role was on a
volunteer basis with ZERO income.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
continued that work as I felt keeping my "resume" active and giving
back to the Veteran community was important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I also held a part time job at US Military Endurance Sport,s where I have
a flexible schedule working an hourly wage and being able to work from anywhere
in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a great job for
someone in my position and I was working anywhere between 18-25 hours a
week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On top of that I had started
coaching in early 2014 and picked up a small group of athletes which was
another minor source of income and also very flexible and rewarding.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">44% of revenue was from equipment sales. This was due to having a few sets of extra race wheels, a few extra bikes and some random gear that was sold. Part of this sell-off can be attributed to our move to the UK, where we have a tiny flat and my wife and I needed to be selective on what bikes we would keep. I would expect this number to be lower in 2016, but if a new bike comes around, then that means selling the current bike, which will create some revenue.</span></div>

was fortunate to have a few pure cash sponsors for 2015.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are by far the hardest sponsors to get
in the sport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the equivalent of
finding a herd of unicorns at the end of a rainbow that are eating from that
magical pot of gold (at least that is what a majority of pros consider these
cash sponsors to be).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So to generate
$3,779 (looks a bit funny as one sponsor paid in foreign currency) in cash
sponsorship was something that I consider a huge win for 2015, but it is still
an area that I think I can improve upon for 2016.</span></div>

is something that I am a bit torn on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
few companies are against having pros push sales as they do not believe we

agreements had carried over from when I had started making partnerships as an
Age Grouper and I hope to transition these partnerships into a bonus structure
or pure cash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I believe that
one of the greatest assets I have to offer as an athlete is my reach within the
triathlon community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So with that being
said, I believe the commission setup works really well for me as a
professional, but as I continue to progress in the sport, I think it is
something that I may do less and less.</span></div>

Picking up 3 pay checks totaling $4k ($3967 after fees/taxes) was quite nice. Not sure what 2016 has in store on the prize money side of things, but ideally this number continues to increase over the years! To have a better understanding of what Pro Triathletes make in prize winnings I would recommend this article: <a href="http://trstriathlon.com/pro-triathlon-money-list/">http://trstriathlon.com/pro-triathlon-money-list/</a> . In short, 40 athletes made over $50K, 40, yes 40 athletes, both men and women. This list is not annual, rather based on the Kona Points Year and ITU World Series. So with that, only IMUK counted for me putting me at $2,000 and 267 on the list of 444 males that took home money.</span></div>

It was basically a wash with the amount of revenue generated in sales. I am not "sponsored" per se by Cervelo, more "supported" by Cervelo, so that means that I am still having to pay for my bikes. I don't mind, as being on the best bike in the business is something that gives me confidence when I get on the start line knowing I have the best equipment. Ideally,, that partnership will grow and hopefully one day I will be a fully sponsored athlete by Cervelo.</span></div>

That is what drove the transportation expense so high, but for 2016, I have accrued enough flight miles to cash in on some free flights. The evil of flying with a bike is the amount airlines charge. This took a big hit to the expenses, but is getting harder and harder to avoid. When I was in the military, I very rarely paid for my bike to fly, maybe once every twenty flights. They were really generous to those of us on Active Duty. Now it is just part of the pain of traveling with a bike, forking out anywhere from $75 - $200--other than that one time where Asiana charged me $495 as they were charging by weight.</span></div>

WTC/IRONMAN has a pro membership that cost $848 in 2015.

Challenge Family did not charge for race entries in 2015 and I did one of their races. The "memberships" include the local Tri Team in the UK I pay to swim with, along with 2 other places that I swam at throughout the year.<b> </b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Overall I lost $194 in 2015, which as sad as it is, I think that is a WIN for a majority of pro triathletes. When talking to someone else about how the financials had shaken out for 2015, they had mentioned looking at it like a "start up". Most start ups are not profitable for the first few years, so to come that close to breaking even, I am really happy with that.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">For 2016, I have worked out several new financial sponsors which have had a huge impact on allowing me to not worry about how long I can do this for. It has given me the confidence that I can make this work and continue to do it for as long as I am passionate about the sport. I will continue to work hard in training, but also continue to work on the business side of my "brand" and hopefully with the hard work in training the results and progression will continue to trend in the right direction. </span><b> </b></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">After departing from
Wanaka, it was time to get some R&R in between the two races. With 14 days between two IRONMANs, I was
going to be asking a lot from my body.
This is the second time that I have done something crazy in terms of
racing IMs close together. The last time
was back in 2013 when I raced Kona, 14 days later 70.3 Austin, and 6 days later
IMFL, you can read about that <a href="http://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/Slowtwitch_Forums_C1/Triathlon_Forum_F1/The_Triple%3A_Kona%2C_Austin_70.3%2C_%26_IMFL....2X_Worlds_Slots_and_Sub_9!_P4846452/?search_string=imfl%20triple#p4846452" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Needless to say, I
thought there was a chance that this could go well. I had some good training while in California
and then a good 70.3 in Dubai. I
thought that Challenge Wanaka full could give me another boost in fitness and I
could show up to Taupo hopefully somewhat recovered from Wanaka and have a good
race. I spent the 14 days in between
taking it pretty easy and just enjoying the sites of New Zealand with my
wife. We spent some time in a van, down
by the river, and then after 2 nights of that upgraded to an AirBnB in Taupo.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">When I originally
planned this trip and race schedule I thought there was a chance both Wanaka
and Taupo would have fairly small fields, but then IM Melbourne was canceled,
which had people changing up their race schedules and a big field assembled for
IMNZ (Taupo). Since the trip was already
planned and the tickets were booked I just rolled the dice and figured we would
see what happened.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I woke up on race
morning feeling pretty good and ready to race.
I slept a lot in the previous 14 days and really took care of trying to
recover from Wanaka. I just didn't know
how the body would react until the gun went off.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Swim- 53:12</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I really started to
believe that my swim was coming along and I was confident in how I had been
swimming given how Dubai and Wanaka went.
I lined up near Matt Hanson hoping that I would be able to swim with
him. I got out to a good start and found
some feet to stay on. After about
200-300m I had gotten popped off of the tail end of the first pack, I was
"that guy" that let the gap open.
Around 400-500m the women started coming by us in ones and twos. First was Lauren Brandon and then MBK, and
then a small pack of 3. Matt Hanson and
I were able to get onto those girls' feet and swim with them for a while. I got popped off of that group at the half
way point, and shortly after joined another small group of women who were towing
a few other men along. One of the guys
ended up being Joe Skipper. I exited the
water in the second main pack of guys and was happy with where I was at.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bike- 4:47</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Coming out of the
water better than I normally do meant that the possibility of getting passed by
more people. This is something that
typically doesn't happen due to my poor swim and somewhat strong cycling
ability. However, with the improved swim
I was now facing guys behind me being strong bikers. So one by one a few guys came by, with the
likes of Matt Russell, Joe Skipper, and then Dougal Allan (who had just won
Wanaka). I couldn't quite hold pace with
any of those guys so they went by pretty quick.
I rode a pretty solid first 90 km and then literally at 90 km, my power
dropped from 260 W to 230 W. There was
nothing I could do, not really sure what happened, but I would like to think
that something about that race 14 days ago happened to hit my legs. From that point on, I was pretty much stuck
at 230 W and couldn't seem to put out more power consistently.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Run- 3:45</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I came off the bike
pretty much out of the race, but I wanted to see what I had in my run legs so
off I went. I settled into a good pace
and was feeling good. I went through 21
km in around 1:32 which is where I was hoping to run for the whole marathon, a
low 3 hour marathon. I continued to push
on and then around 30 km, the legs just didn't want to cooperate. The body was drained and I was mentally
checked out. Meredith Kessler had caught
me around that point and she went on to win the race leaving me in her dust
after running with her for about 1 mile.
I ran, jogged, trotted and walked the last 12 km and finally got across
the line. It was a rough day to say the
least.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Like every race, I
consider it a success as long as you learn something. Lesson learned here is that I currently am
not capable of backing up 2 IMs within 14 days of each other. So chalk it up as a learning experience and a
long 9+ hours spent Swimming, Biking and Running to see the great town of
Taupo.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even though the
racing did not go as planned down under, it was still an amazing
experience. I had never been to
Australia or New Zealand and Hila had never been to New Zealand. We were able to get some amazing sight seeing
in and see a part of the world that I had never seen.</span></span></div>

<br />
Sorry for the delay in this, 4 months on the road, 70K miles flown, 3x IM's and a 70.3 put things a little behind on the schedule. But, I wanted to take some time and reflect back on my first year racing in
the professional field. I plan to make this a 3 part series, with Part 1 being <a href="http://aftriathlonguy.blogspot.com/2016/01/a-look-back-at-2015-part-1-through-lens.html" target="_blank">"Through the Lens"</a>. Then this blog will take an inside look at
the training numbers throughout the year and finally Part 3 will dive
into the financials of racing around the world, and the harsh reality of
being a "professional" triathlete. Part 3 is now up <a href="http://aftriathlonguy.blogspot.com/2016/04/where-rubber-meets-road-financials-of.html" target="_blank">"<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Where the Rubber Meets the Road: Financials of a Pro Triathlete".</span></a><br />

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After a
disappointing race at IM Malaysia I was hungry.
I was hungry to get back to work, I was hungry to race again, I was
hungry for redemption. After IM
Malaysia, I headed back to the US to spend some time with family, attend a
family wedding, and spend Thanksgiving at home, a first in many years. I then headed to Argentina with my wife,
Hila. We spent 7 days down there, ending
our trip in Ushuaia, where she would depart on her field work for Antarctica
for the following 6 weeks. I then headed
back to California to spend a few more weeks with family and to spend Christmas
at home.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After Christmas I
headed down to San Diego (Carlsbad / Leucadia to be exact) to put in a 4 week
block of training. My coach, Scott
DeFilippis, is based out of there so it makes for some great training and
"real" coaching. It is always
great to have him around day-to-day, not only for the training but also the
life talks, business talks (more to come on that), and a few beers here and
there. I got in a solid training block,
other than being sick for a few days, but I left San Diego feeling really good.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The flight to Dubai
was a bit long to say the least, San Diego to Houston to Frankfurt to Dubai. I
think it was 32 hours door to door. I
got into Dubai around midnight and was able to get about 6 hours of sleep the first
night. Then after that it was all
downhill with jet lag, I was jet lagged the whole time I was there, just
couldn't get into a routine. Had a mechanical issue with my Di2, fixed $225 later, then on the way to bike check the rear tire popped in the back of the car. Then I did get
about 4.5 hours of sleep on race night, and felt pretty good waking up, so maybe things were taking a turn for the better.........</span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bike Check In (Photo Credit: Timothy Carlson)</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Swim (shortened to
1200m)- 18:59 / 16th out of water</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At the race briefing
the day before the race, they presented 3 different variations of the swim
course. This was due to possible bad
weather and high "surf". So
race morning came and the swim course was shortened, and I am pretty sure it
wasn't even one of the three options. We
were told we would get a lead kayak, which was good as no one had been able to
pre-swim the course. It was cold that
morning. The warm up area was in a different location and we trusted that the
course was going to be easy to navigate.
Well everything seemed great the first lap. I got into a good pack of 4 guys and was
swimming well. Bart Aernouts was to my
right and I was happy to come out of the water on lap 1 with him as I had lost 3.5 mins to him last year at Challenge Rimini.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Going into Lap 2 I
was starting to come off the back of our small group, but I was able to get
back on after the dive back in and hung on until the swim exit. Due to the course change, there ended up
being a long 700m run back to T1, through the resort area and then along the
beach. I was able to stay with our small
group through the run, but then had a small hiccup in T1.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I had forgot to put
sun glasses on my bike and did not have a pair in my bike bag, so had to stop
at my run bag and grab them out of there.
Then when going to leave my swim bag I went to run off to realize I
still had my swim skin on, rookie mistakes, which caused a gap between me and
the group out of T1.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bike- 2:06:57 / 6th off the bike</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So with the debacle
in T1, I ended up having a 20-30sec gap to a group of 7 riders. I got onto the road and just put my head down
and rode right around threshold for the first 6mins to close the gap, most of
it out of my shoes. Once to the group I
actually tightened the shoes down and sat on the back for a few minutes to see
how things were going. There was one guy
on the front with Nic Baldwin and Bart Aernouts in the group. I was content in the group for a bit, but
then got antsy. I went up to the front
for a bit, but with no one else wanting was
to come around, I backed off a touch and let the same guy that was in
the front come back to the front. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Out on the bike hammering away (Photo Credit: Timothy Carlson)</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We flew out to the
turn around due to a massive tailwind and I believe we were sitting in 5th -
9th at that point, with Jan Frodeno, Josh Amberger, Balasz Csoke, and one other
up the road. We caught Balasz soon after
the turn around and kept the pace up into the cross/headwind. I went to the front again and then after a
bit let the other guy come back around.
Seemed as if everyone was content with the pace and was fine sitting
back. I knew this wasn't in my favor as
I didn't want to have to run with these guys, so luckily around 45 miles came a
storming Terenzo Bozzone. He had a
mishap in the swim and was making it his mission to come through the field.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When he came by, I
was sitting second in our group and I thought the guy in front would go with
him, but a gap slowly opened up and I eventually went around but Terenzo was
riding super hard. I was able to keep
the gap the same, but wasn't able to get back to within 12 meters, and was
stuck at 20 meters. At that time Bart
came around and I was able to stay with him, and he made it to Terenzo. The three of us ended up riding all the way
back to T2 together, well more like Terenzo dragged us back to T2.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Run- 1:20:54 / 7th across the line</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I left T2 with
Terenzo and Bart just a few seconds ahead of me in 4th and 5th, and I was in
6th. As the meters ticked away, so did
they. I just focused on my race and
running the best that I could. It was a
3 lap run course which was great to see where I was, if I was gaining on anyone
and if anyone was gaining on me. After
the end of lap 1, Nic Baldwin caught me, but going around the U-Turn he had
some cramps and I was able to pull back away.
At the end of lap 2 he caught me again and slowly opened up a gap.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Another guy was
coming through the field looking strong and with 2 miles to go the gap was
probably down to 25 seconds. As we were
approaching the final 1K I knew he was closing in. I ran scared, I ran for $250 extra bucks, and
somehow managed to keep it together to hold onto 7th by 6 seconds and losing out on 6th by 28 seconds.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall I was really
happy with how the race went. I took a
risk by coming out to Dubai and it paid off.
I had a swim that kept me in a group, even though a short swim, still a
breakthrough for me, considering I lost 3.5mins to Bart back in April. I rode in the group, did a bit of work, and
then was able to go with the late race move, that set me up for a top 10
finish. So I would say it was a good day
in the "office", and I learned a LOT, which is always a good thing.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After the race I
spent a few days in Dubai, then headed down to Australia to reunite with my
wife after 7 weeks apart. We had a great
time down in Melbourne, along the Great Ocean Road, in Tasmania and now we are
off to Wanaka for Challenge Wanaka on February 20th!</span></span></div>

<br />
I wanted to take some time and reflect back on my first year racing in the professional field. I plan to make this a 3 part series, with this being Part 1, "Through the Lens". <a href="http://aftriathlonguy.blogspot.com/2016/03/a-look-back-at-2015-part-2-by-s.html" target="_blank">Part 2 will take an inside look at the training numbers throughout the year</a> and finally Part 3 will dive into the financials of racing around the world, and the harsh reality of being a "professional" triathlete. Part 3 is now up <a href="http://aftriathlonguy.blogspot.com/2016/04/where-rubber-meets-road-financials-of.html" target="_blank">"<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Where the Rubber Meets the Road: Financials of a Pro Triathlete".</span></a><br />

<div style="direction: ltr; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0in; width: 7.6041in;">
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The past 3 races had
went really well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had received my
first 3 pay checks in the sport, I was happy with where my fitness was and how
the training had been going.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had dropped
down to 160lbs, which was 6 lbs lighter than IMUK and 4lbs lighter than both
70.3 Koreas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt good, I felt fit,
and I felt ready to go into this tough race and see where I stacked up with a
solid field.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I had picked out IM
Malaysia because it was a tough, hot and humid course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The field had been smaller in the past, but
for some reason everyone else had the same thought process and 30 men were on
the start line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were a few guys
coming off of big races at Kona and a few others that were fresh off of some
other IM wins this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Needless to say
it was a big field for a small $30K prize purse.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I flew out of the UK
with everything that I would need through March, which will include 3 IM's
(Malaysia, Wanaka and Taupo) and one 70.3 (Dubai).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bike Bag, Backpack, Suitcase, and laptop bag,
that is it, for 4 months on the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
off I headed to Malaysia via Abu Dhabi and 28 hours of travel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I showed up on Wednesday evening for a
Saturday race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a normal race week
prep, was feeling good and excited to race IM #2 of the year.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Swim- 57:42</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
It was a 2 loop swim
course that started from the beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was a shallow and narrow area that they had us running in for about 30 meters
before actually swimming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got out fairly
well and was sitting in a group comfortably.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They started to pull away towards the end of the first lap, but I was
able to bridge back up to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
happened a few times and then with about 1K to go I was off the back of the
group in no mans land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ended up losing
a minute to this group of 5, and was 8.5 minutes off the leaders, which I was
actually pretty happy with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I was
not happy with is that I lost the group again, just like IMUK.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Bike- 5:03:46</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Out onto the bike I
wanted to push to try and catch the group that had 1 minute on me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The course started out flat but fairly early
we had a ~20 minute climb that was an out and back section.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is where I was able to get the first
time splits and part way up the climb I was able to bridge up to a few of the
riders from the pack in front.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I kept
pushing though wanting to catch the second pack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe the time split at the turn around
was 4 minutes, so I was making up ground, but was riding solo at this
point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt good and just stayed
controlled, and then around 60K I was passed by a guy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the first time this has happened
"later" in the race, as not in the first few K, where I end up
passing those guys back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But this guy
came by me at 60K moving along really well.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I thought this was a
great opportunity to work with someone one and hopefully make up ground on the
second pack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sat back at 12 meters and
was still feeling good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking back on
it, I lost concentration and got behind on liquids, not calories but just
liquids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was 85* with 80% humidity,
which was said to be a "feel like" of 100-105 throughout the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This caught up with me around 130K and I just
felt dead, couldn't keep the power numbers up and just felt drained.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The distance between each aid station felt
longer and longer and I just felt hotter and hotter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I soft pedaled my way into T2 and pulled in
back in 18th place.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Run- 4:36:49</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Knowing that I was
back in 18th place and that it only paid 6 deep, pretty much took me out of the
race mentally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By 1.5 miles in I was
already walking a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One guy went by
me at I tried to run with him, but he was running a bit too fast for my
comfort. He ended up running a 3:09 and ended up 10th place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So with a great run the best I would have
ended up around there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So mentally I
gave up, and I kick myself for that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
however do not consider this race as a complete failure as I stuck it out and
made my way to the finish line, in what most would consider a good day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But everything is relative, and too my
standards it was not a good day.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
After the half way
point I was tired of being out on the course and stopped feeling sorry for
myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started trying to run with
people as they went by, but finding someone that was running a speed that I was
comfortable with took a bit to find.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Around 15K to go a female age grouper came by and I started running next
to her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just wanted to get to the line
and be done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I told her right away if I
was bothering her to just say so and I would stop running with her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She laughed and said it was fine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked a bit and fond out she was leading
her age group and looking to go to Kona.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She knew exactly where her competition was and had a comfortable
gap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked here and there along the
way, but if it wasn't for Claire I don't know how long I would have been out
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So having her to run with got me
off the course a lot sooner than I probably otherwise would have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So big thanks to Claire for getting me to the
line, and huge congrats to her on punching her Kona ticket!</div>

When I sit back and
reflect on this race it looks bad on paper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But in reality I learned from this race, and I think any race that you
learn something from is still a success, maybe not as great of a success, but
still a success.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Malaysia I earned a
whole new respect for this sport and just how hard this sport is as a
professional.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I earned a new respect for
those people that gut it out on tough days, and are out on the course for hours
on end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some people say it is better to
just DNF on a bad day as a professional, so you can pick right back up and get
to training for the next race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think
once you make an excuse to DNF once, it makes it easier and easier down the
road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never want to DNF, I have on
since I have been in this sport, and it was because I had bronchitis, so my
only "excuses" to DNF are injury or sickness, other than that, tough
it out to the line and learn something new about yourself and this sport.</div>

I stayed in contact with the Spinlister guys and once back home to the UK, I listed <a href="https://www.spinlister.com/profile/29347" target="_blank">all of my bikes</a>.<span class="yiv1407731801" id="yiv1407731801yui_3_16_0_1_1446574536182_154209"> </span>From my TT race bike to my commuter bike to get to the pool, and all of my wife's bikes,<span class="yiv1407731801" id="yiv1407731801yui_3_16_0_1_1446574536182_154211"> </span>I currently have 7 bikes listed on Spinlister (insert hyperlink) and have made $300 in a short 6 month period.<span class="yiv1407731801" id="yiv1407731801yui_3_16_0_1_1446574536182_154213"> </span>Now,

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">4 October- </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">After Incheon 70.3, I
had a short 2 weeks to recover and prep for Gurye 70.3 on 4 October. I headed down to my good buddy Aaron's house
in Pyeongtaek (Camp Humphreys Area) for the 2 weeks in between. It was a great place to base myself out of as
there was a 25 m pool on the base that was only 3 miles from his house. I was also familiar with the local roads for
riding since I was stationed only 30 mins up the road at Osan Air Base for 4
years from 2007-2009 and 2010-2012. This
worked out really well and I was able to get into a good routine between the
races.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I came off of just
missing the podium at Incheon HUNGRY! I
wanted to show up to Gurye with 2 more weeks of training behind me and ready to
race again. This was still pretty early
into this "new season", coming off of the 4 week "off
season" after IMUK. I was really
hoping that the 2 weeks between the races would give me another boost in
fitness and I would show up to Gurye even stronger.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The original start
list that was released ha<span style="font-family: inherit;">d</span> 22 guys on it, but only 12 showed up to the start
line on race day. I had done a bit of
research on the unfamiliar names and I knew there was going to be a small group
of swimmers that would more than likely be together out <span style="font-family: inherit;">of<span style="font-family: inherit;"> th</span></span>e water. With the course being rolling and having some
steady false flats along the way, I was really hoping things wouldn't be to
"packy" on the bike. I was
able to ride my way into the race at Incheon and that was the same plan at
Gurye.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had a decent start
but after about 600m a gap opened up and I was swimming solo and on my
own. It pretty much remained that way
until the end of the swim. I was having
a bit of a hard time swimming a straight line and probably lost some time due
to my poor swimming line.</span></span><br />

my buddy Aaron was there and told me I was 3 minutes down on the next pack up
the road. I wasn't too surprised by this
and was hoping to make quick work and bring that deficit down early on in the
ride. At Incheon, I had caught some of
the same guys in this race at 20<span style="font-family: inherit;"> k<span style="font-family: inherit;">m</span></span> and 60<span style="font-family: inherit;"> km</span>, so when I got out to 30<span style="font-family: inherit;"> km</span> and they
still had 3 minutes I was a bit surprised.
I was a bit more upset to see some shady riding going on and the group
containing 6 guys, with a few riding legally and a few really enjoying the
draft of the others. I only saw a moto
with them on the 2nd lap, and it wasn't even a referee, it was just a WTC
employee, that had no officiating influence.</span></span></div>

just kept riding hard, hoping that a referee would eventually show up and break
the pack up. To no avail all 6 riders
pulled into T2 together and I trailed behind 2:30. The frustrating part is that I had ridden 4
minutes faster and 7 minutes faster then 2 of the guys just 2 weeks
earlier. And I actually ro<span style="font-family: inherit;">de</span> stronger at
this race in terms of power and feel.</span></span><br />

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I came into T2 with
Aaron telling me that 2nd-8th were all 2:30 up the road. I just told myself I needed to pass 2 guys,
that was it, 2 guys to make a paycheck.
I put my head down and just focused on running consistently and getting
in hydration and nutrition. I felt
really good and just held consistent 3:00-3:05 half mile splits (that is what I
have my Garmin set to auto lap at), and was slowly making up ground. The course was a 2 loop, direct out and back
course. It made it easy to get splits
and the roads were pretty long and straight so being able to stay focused on
who was ahead and slowly ma<span style="font-family: inherit;">ke</span> up ground was a bit easier.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I made a pass into
7th around 10<span style="font-family: inherit;"> km</span> and then just focused on getting into 6th. With 5<span style="font-family: inherit;"> km</span> to go he was still around 1 minute up
the road. I still hadn't given up, but I
knew it was going to be tough. I just
kept pushing on and when we got to around 2<span style="font-family: inherit;"> km</span> to go it was down to 20
seconds. <span style="font-family: inherit;">With</span> 800 meters to go, I made the pass,
just before one of the only short inclines on the course. I passed him just before that, and made sure
to pass with a strong effort, then when I hit the hill I ran hard up it hoping
to open up the gap just a little bit more.
Worst case scenario I was going to have to run as hard as I could for
~3mins to make $750, so I figured why not go for it early and see what
happened.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>Well the pass stuck
and I ended up coming into the stadiu<span style="font-family: inherit;">m in 6th place<span style="font-family: inherit;">, one minute down from 5th.</span></span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Overall I am really happy with how things played out. I came back from what I thought wasn't possible and I found a bit of confidence in my run and did something I don't usually do, ran my way into the race. I look forward to continuing to work at the little things and hopefully they will continue to add up to something big over time. One thing is for sure, it isn't going to happen overnight, it is about consistent work day in and day out, so onwards and upwards from here!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 140%;">20 Sept 2015-</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />

I had originally planned on doing Challenge Weymouth on September 13th, but
after really looking at the schedule I wasn't feeling too confident about that
race. I was taking a 4 week break after IMUK, with two of those weeks
spent on a cruise ship. That would only leave a 4 week block of training
for Challenge Weymouth. Around June, I noticed that they had moved 70.3
Incheon from July to late September, which sparked an idea that made a lot more
sense. I would head to Korea for 3.5 weeks, race Incheon 70.3 on 20
September and then Gurye 70.3 on 4 October. I would spend the time in
between the races with friends near Osan, where I was previously
stationed. After Gurye, I planned to stick around and check out the
Military World Games which were taking place in Korea and I had a lot of
friends competing in.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />
So after removing myself from the Challenge Weymouth start list, I registered
for both Korea 70.3s and booked my ticket. All in all, I thought it would
be a fairly inexpensive trip since I had a place to stay in between the
race. Well, it was cheap until I got to the airport to check my bags and
rather than charging me for my bike, they charged me for excess weight which
ended up costing $495USD. So that was how the trip started.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />
I got into Korea and everything went fairly smooth the first few days.
The Incheon 70.3 staff had covered airport transportation to the hotel and our
hotel room, which ended up being an amazing hotel, with the lobby on the 36th
floor and my room on the 47th! Each day after arriving it seemed it was
one thing after the other for me, problems at the race briefing, getting double
charged for dinner, and then the last adventure was spending 8 hours roaming
through Korea by train and bike attempting to get my visa sorted which was
originally screwed up by the Korean Embassy in London. Since the visa
issue, it has been great with no issues!</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />
I showed up to Incheon a bit tired as we had put in a big 4 week block of
training. While on the 4 week break I had put on 20 lbs, I went from 164 lbs
to 184 lbs, and I was struggling to drop weight the first week. Then it
started falling off really fast! It was pretty easy considering my wife
and I cut out alcohol (other than our anniversary night) and desserts (we are
big dessert lovers). I showed up to Incheon back down to 164 lbs and was
feeling fit, just a bit tired. I struggled to adjust to the time zone and
was up at 3am the first night (4 hrs of sleep), 1 am the next night (5 hrs of
sleep), and then I actually got about 6 hours of sleep the night before the
race.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />

Swim- 25:04</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />
I was able to get in a good warm up, which helped me get a good start. We
started off a pontoon and swam through a shallow 5 ft deep man-made river that
ran through the park. I got out and was able to stick with a small group
for about the first 300 m. Then a gap opened up and I fell off the small
group and was on my own. Mary Beth Ellis came by me around 500 m and I
attempted to swim on her feet and lasted about 100 m. Around 1 km, I
looked back and I was pulling along 2 other guys and had 1 guy about 20 m in
front of me. I slowly closed the gap to that guy and we came out of the
water as a group of 4.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 140%;"><br />

I had a quick transition and was out in front of the small group I exited the
water with. I came </span></span></span></div>

knew I had my work cut out for me on the bike. I found a good rhythm and
slowly started passing guys. There were a few out and back sections so it
was good to know what the gaps were and slowly get through the field.
Unfortunately my seat post slipped around 70 km and I noticed a drop in my
power, which may have been from the seat post or my lack of fitness, or a combination
of both. Either way, something happened around 70 km and I wasn't able to
push as hard. I made my way up to 3rd and came off the bike about 5 mins
down from the leaders.</span></span></span><br />

I wasn't feeling great on the run, but wasn't feeling
horrible. Mitch caught me just at the end of the first lap and we ran
side by side for the next 2 laps. He pulled away at one point, and then I
pulled him back. I then tried to pick up the pace and he stayed with
me. He then picked up the pace and I dropped off, but kept him in my
sights. At the same time, Alistair Eeckman and Paul Amey were charging
hard from behind. For the last 3 km, I was more worried about getting
caught from behind rather than trying to catch Mitch. So I ran hard to
not get caught and figured maybe I could catch Mitch in the process. I fell
short at catching Mitch, but was able to hold onto 4th, 37 seconds ahead of 5<sup>th</sup>,
and lost 3rd by 41 seconds.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 140%;">At the end of the day, it was a bit bittersweet to come in
4th. It was my best result to date, but it would have been great to get
my first pro podium in Korea, where everything started in this sport.
Luckily, I will have another chance at Gurye 70.3 on 4 October. So as
tough as it was to miss out on the podium by 41 seconds, it has left me hungry
and focused to continue on the path and hopefully find a step on the podium in
the near future.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 140%;">A big thanks to Des Slote and his wife Parichat for coming out to
support me during the race. Des has been a huge part of my triathlon
career and you may remember him if you have been following along, his previous
"job" was "Korean Logistical Support Agent," basically he
was the one that sorted all of the race entries and travel for me during my
time in Korea. It was great to see him again, have a meal together and
catch up over a few beers.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="5yl5">I was lucky enough to be sent one of the first Kiwami Kona
Wings Short Sleeve tops a few months back. I was very excited to receive the
new short sleeved version of the top and to see what modifications and upgrades
they had made since the release of their Kona Wings Long Sleeved edition, which
I had also received ahead of schedule back in 2014 and was one of the first
athletes to race in it both in Kona and Lanzarote.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="5yl5">I am going to be honest, I was not a big fan of the long
sleeve top. I felt a bit hot in it and have decided since then not to race in
it in hot weather. (Kiwami continues to be upping their game and developing
more top quality products, and I currently race in the Rio LD Aero one piece
sleeved suit - available in Europe right now and should be available in the US
in the next few months). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="5yl5"> </span><br />
<span class="5yl5">I think the Kona Wings Long Sleeve top does have some great
features. It’s an excellent product for riding faster in cooler conditions and
races with wetsuit swims - when you can wear the top under your wetsuit. But
the thing that I liked most about it was the UV protection. This is something
that was very evident in the second race I did in it. I had ripped a small hole
in it on my arm and that one spot was sun burned after the race, yet the rest of
my upper body was not. This is something that many athletes should take into
consideration when choosing between the short sleeve and long sleeve top. If
you are concerned about your skin (which everyone should be) then I would
highly recommend the long sleeve top, if you are not racing in extremely hot
conditions. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="5yl5">For those of you looking to do hot races and would like
something that provides UV protection for your shoulders and upper arms, then I
would highly suggest the new Kona Wings Short Sleeve version. This aero top has
newer more breathable material in all areas and I have found it actually easier
to get on, specifically when wet. Some may be wondering why this is important,
but for those people doing races that have non-wetsuit swims you are not
allowed to swim with sleeves, so you have to put the top on in T1. I tested
this out by taking the top on and off while in the shower, and it took less
than 20 seconds to get on and less than 5 seconds to get off. I would consider
this to be cost effective in terms of the aero benefits that sleeved tops can
provide, along with the UV protection.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="5yl5">Overall I was extremely happy with how well the top fits, how
easy it is to get on in a hurry and while wet. If you are looking for making an
investment in going faster, I would highly recommend looking into the Kiwami
Kona Wings Short Sleeve Top.</span></div>

19 Jul 2015-</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
IRONMAN UK, the race that we
have been targeting from the beginning of the year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything else along the way was just to get
me to the start line on Sunday in Bolton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have been training consistently and seeing progress since the end of
last season, and had been extremely happy with where things were headed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was excited to race Bolton and see if the
work was going to pay off.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The start list came
out 10 days before the race and only had 14 guys on it, with quite a few top athletes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the race got closer, some pulled out of the race and when race day came, we were down to 11 guys on the start
line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had done my research and knew
who I was lining up against, and thought I had a good chance at a good day, if
I executed my race plan.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The weather was
predicted to be pretty bad with rain and wind, but I wasn't surprised, as this
seems to be the norm on race days in the UK.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pre-Race with the wifey. Trooper for her to chase me around the course in the pouring rain! </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Swim- 57:06</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I knew my best bet
for the swim would be to try and get on Victor DelCorral's feet or attempt to
swim with Joe Skipper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last time I tried
to swim with Victor was at Ocean Lava, and I believe he out-swam me by 3 mins over
3 km, so I wasn’t sure how the plan was
going to play out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I lined up next to
Victor on my right and Joe was a few guys over on the left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the gun went off, Victor went a bit right
and what I thought was off course, so I ended up swimming towards Joe and
hoping to get on his feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After about
400 m, things got spread out and Victor made his way over to us and I ended up
sitting on his feet, trailing Joe for the whole first loop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Starting the 2nd lap, Victor went to the
front and I ended up on Joe's feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Then, halfway
through the 2nd lap, we started getting into the congestion of the Age
Groupers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is where a gap opened up
and I lost contact with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the
next 900 m, they managed to put 1 minute into me, which I was a bit unhappy about
looking back afterwards, but overall I was really happy with my swim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I came out of the water 9th, which wasn't
great but my swim time and where I was relative to Joe and Victor was a step in
the right direction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would have been
nice to come out of the water with them and attempt to ride with them.</div>

out on the bike, the rain started coming down really hard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had pre-ridden the course 3 weeks back, so I knew the course pretty well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was a bit
hesitant for the first 1.5 hours, as the rain was coming down and I didn't want to
crash through one of the many corners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The rain stopped 1.5 hours into the ride, and I started riding a bit more
aggressively then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got into a groove and
started making my way up through the field.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I got passed early on and moved back to 10th, but then after about 40
miles, I slowly started passing guys.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The second loop of
the bike was congested, but not too bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With about 10 miles to go I moved into 6th position, but could not drop
the guy, so pulled into T2 with him just a few seconds behind.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I was most impressed
with the spectators on the bike course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Unbelievable to see so many people out there supporting the athletes
considering the early morning conditions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There were a few sections that were very similar to the TdF, with the
roads lined with spectators on both sides of the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only other time I experienced anything
like it was when I did Wiesbaden 70.3 in Germany back in 2009.</div>

back the first 10 km and really tried hard not to "chase" the guy in
front of me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I stuck to my plan and slowly
pulled him back in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The course was a
looped course, but first you had to get to the loop via a point-to-point route
that was about 8 miles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Around mile 12, I
made the pass for 6th.</div>

rhythm and just kept putting time into the 7th place guy.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I started to struggle around mile 20 and the
guy that was back in 8th moved into 7th.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">At the start of the last lap, I had a 4 min gap on him.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">At the last U-turn he passed me, that was
around mile 23.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I immediately found an
extra gear and passed him right back.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It
was all downhill to the finish, other than one small incline that was 1/2
block long and about 10% grade.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I slowly
opened up a gap but then he sat back around 15-25 feet for 2.5 miles.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">At that last steep pitch, about 1/2 mile out, I put in a surge, hoping that it would open up a bigger gap.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I really didn’t want to go to the line having
to sprint with this guy.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There were
AG'ers on the course, and I didn't want to have to navigate them in the final
meters as the finish chute was quite technical with a U-turn about 75 m from the
finish.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Luckily that last
surge was all it took and I think that deflated him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I told myself when he passed me that I wasn't
going to give up and quit after executing a great 138 miles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I dug deep and found those extra gears.</div>

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">24 May 2015-</span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had originally
planned to do 70.3 St. Polten last weekend, but we had a
conflict on the calendar with the Rhodes Ball.
I had not been to a proper "ball" before, so thought I would
check the race schedule and see what other options I had. I found Challenge Rimini and thought it was a
good choices as it was surrounded by some other big races and thought nothing
more of it.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Come to find out
Challenge Rimini was also a "big race" and was the European Triathlon
Union Mid Distance Championships., yeah talk about a long race name. I found this out a week or two before the
race and at first thought maybe that was just for the Age Groupers, but no,
come to find out it was for the pro's as well.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had a decent
travel schedule to Rimini, leaving Oxford early on Friday and getting into
Italy by 1pm. I made it down to Rimini
by 3, and the weather was pretty bad. A
storm had rolled in and it rained pretty much the first 24 hours that I was
there. I got in a short shake out run
and attended the race briefing. I do not
recall them specifying that it would be completely "ruled" by the ITU
rules, but maybe I missed that part.
Then when I was doing some research I noticed a few athletes had
National Kits that they were wearing for the race, which I found interesting,
since some of them were attached to actual teams and were not wearing their
team kits.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Race morning I
headed down to the start around 930, yes it was late and the race didn't start
until 11. One of the best parts about
this race was the start time! I went to
enter transition area and they had all of the pros off to the side doing bike
check and gear check. Come to find out
you were "suppose" to have a national kit, so they took note of me
noting have one on, with the proper ITU layout.
They then made you get out your race bib, race chip, and swim cap to
ensure you had them. Pretty annoying,
but it is what it is. After that
checkpoint I went to enter transition area and a lady stopped me and started
talking in Italian about my bike. She
didn't speak English at all and just pointed out the fact that I didn't have a
seat tube, since I ride a beam bike.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I waited around
while she was trying to find someone but after a few minutes just left to my
transition spot, figured if it was a big enough deal she would come find me,
she obviously had my race number and knew where I would be. Sure enough about 10mins later another
official and the same lady showed up. He
explained to her that it wasn't a draft legal race and that the bike was
acceptable for the race. So after an
interesting morning dealing with the ITU officials it was onwards to the race.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Swim- 31:44</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was a pretty
rough swim and the buoys were really hard to see. There were only a few "middle"
buoys throughout the whole course to sight off of between the turn buoys. With the rough water and lack of buoys it
seemed a lot of people were all over the place and there wasn't really a pack
for me to swim with, mostly because they left me in their dust. I came out of the water and through the bag
area of transition, only to find 2 other pro bags there. That is when I knew I had my work cut out for
me…………….</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">

Bike- 2:36:02</span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was really happy
with how I rode the course. My power was
a few watts lower than where I expected it to be, but the numbers were
there. The roads were pretty wet from
the previous days rain, and then about 35mins into the ride it started
raining. The descents were pretty
sketchy due to being wet, and even if not wet not sure if I would have went
much faster. I was slowly passing a few
guys early on in the bike, but after the half way point I was pretty much on my
own till the last 1K of the ride, where I pulled up on a group of 4 guys. We entered transition area together and then
it was onto the run.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Run- 1:19:47</span></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was pretty
frustrated with how my run went in Galveston, I knew I was in better shape than
1:23 there and I just didn't have a good run there. So leaving T2, I looked around and noticed
that other people had not put there helmets back in their bags. Mine was on top of my bag but not in it. I knew I probably should have just put it in
the bag to avoid any weird ITU rules that were somewhat being enforced at the
race. But I instead took off out of T2
chasing the guys that I came into T2 with.
I set into a good pace and just focused on running really consistent splits. The course was right along the sea and
completely flat out and back 7K
lap. It was 3 laps and after the
completion of lap 1 I noticed my number on the penalty board. I decided I would take the penalty on the
last lap, which would leave only about 200m left to run after serving the
penalty. It ended up only being
30seconds and luckily no one passed me in that time.</span></span><br />

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Overall I was
disappointed with how the race as a whole went, more so with my bike and
swim. I knew that the swim conditions
did not suit me, but thought I would have still been a little closer to the
lead group in terms of time. Losing
15mins to the lead bike splits was really frustrating, especially since my
numbers were very close to what they were in Galveston, and I had one of the
faster bike splits on the day.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The good thing is
that I ran a solid run, on non tapered legs (I ran 20 miles on Tuesday), and
built some confidence in knowing that my run is improving. The other good thing is, even though the
placing and time were not great, I learned a lot from the race and will be back
to fight another day.</span></span></div>

<br />
Few weeks behind on this one, so my apologies. I was fortunate enough to be back in the states quite a bit the first part of the year, and that helped keep the training consistent and focused.<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> I headed to San Diego for January to train
under the guidance of my coach Scott DeFilippis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After 4 solid weeks in California I headed
back to the UK for 4 weeks, but was lucky enough to spend 10 of those days in
Lanzarote training at <a href="http://aftriathlonguy.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-hidden-gem-of-canary-islands.html" target="_blank">Tri Sports Lanzarote</a> After the time back in the UK, I packed
up for a 2 month trip back to the US.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The trip started off with 10 days in Tucson for US Military Endurance
Sports Cycling Camp, followed by 15 days in San Diego training under my coach
again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then left California for
Colorado Springs and spent 10 days with Hila and her family, along with getting
some solid training in. After Colorado it was off to Texas, for the Team Red, White, and Blue Triathlon Camp.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Team RWB Triathlon Camp is one of the highlights of my year. I am part of the team that plans the camp for the athletes and then helps coach alongside Derick Williamson of Durata Training and a few other coaches. The camp focuses on bringing in 30-40 Veterans and equipping them with everything they need to leave the camp as a triathlete. If they didn't come with a bike, they leave with a bike, same for everything else, from wetsuits to running shoes. You can find out more about the camp here: <a href="http://www.rwbtricamp.org/">www.rwbtricamp.org</a>.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After the camp I spent the week hanging out in Austin and getting ready for the race. I stayed with Derick and his wife Kelly, and was lucky enough to get some training in with one of Dericks athletes Chad Holderbaum. I also did the Austin Pure Quarry Fitness Splash N Dash by Jack & Adams, it was a great time, other than getting beat by Julie Stupp and Michael Lori. It was a great way to get in a hard open water effort and remember what it feels like to swim "fast and hard".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I headed down to Galveston on Friday and stayed with fellow pros Lauren and Barrett Brandon who I trained with when I lived in Ft Worth. Always good to catch up with them. Saturday ended up being an interesting day with a huge storm hitting Galveston. We procrastinated and avoided the storm as much as we could. We ended up not riding until close to 6pm, but it all worked out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Race Day:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Swim- 29:27</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I wasn't really sure where I was going to be with the swim, since this was the first "big" pro race. It ended up being non-wetsuit, which didn't play into my favor. I got a decent warmup in and found myself lined up next to Lionel Sanders in the second row. The horn sounded and off we went. I made it to the first buoy, about 200m out still in the "pack", which in reality was already the second pack. I hung onto that pack and felt really comfortable through the second buoy. I fell off of that pack half way through the swim, still not really sure what happened or caused it, but I think I just lost the feet of the person in front of me, and since I was on the back, off I went. I swam on my own for the second half of the swim and was a bit worried about 200m out from the finish. A kayaker ended up next to me and I thought I was the last swimmer. Then a few moments later Lauren came swimming by me, they had started 3 or 4 mins back from us. I tried to hop on her feet and that lasted all of about 15secs, if that.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I came out of T1 and had Reilly Smith just ahead of me. He out biked me at Galveston last year and took the overall amateur win. I paced off of him at 12m back for the first 20-30mins. We started to pass a few people and then I got around him and just focused on the road ahead. I slowly kept passing guys and just after the turn around I caught the second pack. I was really surprised to catch them that early, but I had only lost 1 minute to them on the swim, so I guess I shouldn't have been that surprised. I sat at the tail end of that group for a few minutes before getting frustrated and pulling to the front. I knew there were guys chasing from behind and I wanted to keep the pace high to prevent them from catching back on and hopefully catching a few more guys up the road.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I ended up staying up front pulling the group along for a majority of the way back. Rookie mistake on my part, but the bike is my strength and I wanted to push the pace. We caught a few more guys before T2 and rolled in as a big pack. I made sure to stay to the front to ensure a clean entry into T2 and not to get tangled up with anyone.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I came out of T2 in the front of the group and was told we were 2:30 down to 6th place. There was one guy (David G.) that had a huge lead and then 2nd-6th, then our group of probably 10 guys. I felt pretty good coming off the bike, ran through the first mile sub 6. However, the group just went out of T2 flying and I got left behind. Around mile 1 that group ended up running off course and myself and Barrett Brandon ended up going the right way. I tried to stay with Barrett but he didn't want to run with me and he left me in his dust as well. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I just settled into what I thought was a comfortable pace and just kept clicking off the miles. I started to fade just past half way but tried to just keep getting the calories in and putting one foot in front of another. There were a few out and back sections so I knew when people were closing in on me, or when I was gaining on people. There was a guy gaining quickly on me on the last lap, and luckily I was able to push hard to the end and was able to hang onto 10th place.</span><br />

<br />
I figured since I have been asked "Why did you take your Pro Card?" quite a bit over the past few months, I would take the time to expand upon that frequent question. I used to ask professionals the same question when I was an age grouper dreaming of one day racing as a "professional" athlete. I would get various responses from "I want to race the best", "I want to start first and get done early", "I want to save money on entries" to "I want to have a reserved porta potty and avoid the lines". <br />
<br />I have written about this twice before, back in 2011 "<a href="http://aftriathlonguy.blogspot.com/2011/10/kona-post-race-thoughts.html" target="_blank">Kona Post Race Thoughts</a>" and in 2013 "<a href="http://www.bw-tri.com/2013/04/how-i-qualified-for-my-pro-card-why-i.html" target="_blank">How I qualified for my Pro Card and Why I Will Still Race as an Age Grouper</a>". Looking back and reading through those posts a lot of the reasons that I wasn't ready to turn pro have been "solved", and it seems that now the time is right. <br />
<br />Timing was one of the biggest reasons that I waited. After qualifying twice in 2013, I did not believe I was ready, which I elaborated on in the above mentioned blog. The timing finally came together, and in my opinion, the stars aligned. I transitioned out of the Air Force in August of 2014 and the transition to start training and racing full time was the best time for me to make the jump to the professional start line. I waited until after Kona as I wanted one last crack on the big island. <br /><br />
When I made the decision to take the jump to be on the start line with the best in the world, the main reason was regrets. I didn't want to look back 5, 10 or 15 years from now and go "Man, I could have raced with the best in the world, but I didn't". I want to look back and go, "I had an amazing opportunity and I gave it everything I had". So that is what I did, I left the Air Force last summer and did not seek another full time job. I did not leave the AF for the simple reason of wanting to race professional, I left the AF because I was waking up every morning not happy with having to put on my uniform and go to work. <br />
<br />If I was happy with my career in the Air Force I could have very easily stayed in and raced professionally, however that was not the case. The Air Force left a very bitter taste in my mouth the last 1.5 years in, but that will have to wait for another blog. I was however very fortunate while I was in the AF and they were very supportive of my triathlon endeavors, and I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for my support network within the service. So for that, I am thankful to the AF. <br /><br />
I now wake up every morning and am happy. I have the amazing support of my wife and family as I take this leap into the pro ranks. If it wasn't for them, I would not be taking this chance, but luckily my support system is amazing. The plan is to give it a go for 2 years and see where things shake out at that point. If I am still progressing upwards and our lives can still support my racing, then I will continue on.<br />
<br />
So here we go.............Only time will tell how this goes.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
My first "pro" race was in Lanzarote at the Spanish Long Course National Champs. I hadn't technically taken my elite license from USAT, but the race had an Elite field. Ended up 8th on the day just 3 weeks after Kona.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last year when I was planning to
race the Ocean Lava Triathlon on the island of Lanzarote, I found out about a
Triathlon Villa. I was referred to the place
by Dan Hawksworth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was quite
reasonable, around $120USD a night (£78 or £550 a week). I thought it was
just going to be a place to stay for the race and that was going to be the end
of it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Upon arriving at the Villa, I found
out it was more than just a place to stay. They provided transport to and from
the airport, 3 meals a day, minus 2 nights out for dinner every 7 days.
The 2 nights out were still reasonable at 25-30 Euro a night. The dinners
at the Villa are always great, anything from Paella to a traditional style BBQ
with steaks and burgers. They cater to everyone's eating needs, as you
know triathletes can have quite the "dietary" restrictions.
They also provide a fridge stocked with beer and a wine rack filled with wine.
Not to mention, that is included in the price of your stay.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have not stayed at the
"other" resorts on Lanzarote that everyone talks about, so I cannot
say whether they include what I have talked about above. But I can say
the real kicker to the Villa is the family like atmosphere. The owners,
along with the 2 employees, treat you like family. The kitchen and fridge
are always open if you get hungry, the beer is always cold, and if you can't
find something that you want and absolutely need it, they will track it down on
the island for you.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The training is absolutely amazing
on the island. Along with the 25 meter pool on site you can go down to
the ocean for open water swimming. The van normally goes down for open
water swims 2-3X a week and the pool is open anytime for swims, although I do
not think it is lighted, so daylight swimming only. The riding is
absolutely amazing and is bound to make you strong. From the long climbs
to strong winds you can make it a brutal day around the island. The climb
up Tabyesco is about 1.5 hour ride away and is said to be an hour long.
There are a few shorter climbs within 30mins of riding that range from 5-20mins.
If you want to avoid the climbing and wind for some reason, no worries they
have 2 spin bikes onsite along with a trainer (turbo) for use.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The running is amazing as well,
you can't really beat it. A lot of rolling hills with some steady long
"false flats". They have routes right from the house from
5K-17K mapped out, and you can always adventure out on your own. You can
escape to some dirt trails through the fields or run down a few kilometers and
run along the ocean. There are two tracks within close proximity to the
Villa, one is at a local school which is a short 20min bike ride and the other
is a 15-20min drive in the van in Arrecife. They seem to make a weekly
trip to the track and if you can't make it on that day you can always ride down
to either of the tracks.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Wanting to race in Lanzarote
rather than train? Well you won't be disappointed staying at the Villa.
When I was there for Ocean Lava, all of the logistics were taken care of.
They take you down to registration and the race briefing, race morning and post
race transport, and then you also have some fans along the race course. </span><span class="_5yl5" data-reactid=".cc.$mid=11425240196277=2be69e51f05e545ca03.2:0.0.0.0.0" style="font-size: small;"><span data-reactid=".cc.$mid=11425240196277=2be69e51f05e545ca03.2:0.0.0.0.0.0">They
even have a plan if you want to race on the next island over in </span></span><span class="_5yl5" data-reactid=".cc.$mid=11425240196277=2be69e51f05e545ca03.2:0.0.0.0.0" style="font-size: small;"><span data-reactid=".cc.$mid=11425240196277=2be69e51f05e545ca03.2:0.0.0.0.0.0"><span class="_5yl5" data-reactid=".mm.$mid=11425240207675=28504bb7d46ed54db17.2:0.0.0.0.0"><span data-reactid=".mm.$mid=11425240207675=28504bb7d46ed54db17.2:0.0.0.0.0.0">Fuerteventura</span></span>. They will load up the van and take a short 30-40 min ferry
trip across and set up lodging for the pre-race nights.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">After finding all of this out on
my trip back in late October, I knew this was going to be the place to go when
needing to escape the winter of Oxford. So back in December, I knew I was
in the UK for all of February and wanted to get away for a bit. So I
booked a stay for 8 more days in Lanzarote, and of course I booked at Tri
Sports Lanzarote.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>

Lanzarote and how to book, you can visit their website here: <a href="http://www.trisportslanzarote.com/">www.trisportslanzarote.com</a> .

And the start to a new beginning, my first pro race in Lanzarote.</div>

Thanks to everyone that has continued to support me over the years. I am looking forward to this next chapter in my life and it wouldn't be possible without all of my family and friends!</div>
Brad Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11417232963132583206noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716045979052314489.post-89367298973810852382014-11-05T12:10:00.004-08:002014-11-07T08:26:53.020-08:00Kona, It Was Fun While It Lasted<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Well
after traveling back from 70.3 worlds and then driving from Colorado to
California via a short stop at Interbike in Vegas it was back to
training. Well, kind of.........The last few weeks leading into Kona
were going to be really busy, and not the ideal prep for Kona. However, I
believed that the 2 blocks in Boulder and the performance at 70.3
worlds that I was pretty fit and would still be able to shoot for the
top 5 in my age group.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once
arriving back to California we had our wedding ceremony for family and
friends (we actually go married back in September of 2013). After that
we headed to Monterey Aquarium for a day and then up to Tahoe for
several days to relax and enjoy some quality time together. Then we
celebrated our one year anniversary in San Francisco and Hila departed
to the UK the following day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
had a week left in California prior to heading to Hawaii and the
training was going pretty well. I was a little low on motivation, a bit
burned out by this point in the season, but tried to push through as I knew Kona was
only 2 weeks away. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once
in Kona it was go, go, go with something going on everyday. Had a few
commitments with sponsors and Team RWB. It is also a good place to talk
to future sponsors as well, so needless to say it was quite a busy week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hila flew to Kona from the UK <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1177085232" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Thursday</span></span>
night, so it was great having her there to support me along with my
Mom, Steve, little sister and coach Scott and his girlfriend Carrie.
Quite the group this year and we had a blast all week long. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Race
morning was the usual routine, same food, same wake up time and nothing
out of the usual. I felt great and felt like I was ready to go. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Swim-1:05</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
got a good start and wasn't getting banged up as much as years past.
Starting with only the men made things a little less congested. Around
800m I looked up to see that a big gap had opened up and unfortunately I
was with the group ahead. I got to the turn around and looked at my
watch and thought in was having a pretty good swim. Well the current on
the way back along with the rough waters made the return trip slow and I
ended up having my slowest swim to date in Kona. I figured it was just
a slow day which it was so just put my head down and got to work on the
bike. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bike-4:59</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
felt really good at the beginning and was pushing at my upper target of
power for the race. I felt strong and was riding well, but was slowly
feeling hotter and hotter. By the time I started climbing Hawi the power
started to drop a bit and I continued to feel hot. No matter how much I
tried to cool my body I just felt hot. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The
return trip home was pretty brutal with the wind, minus one section
just before Waikola where we caught a massive tailwind and I was spun
out with no more gears left. The final stretch was pretty brutal into a
head wind and I just couldn't seem to keep the power up or get the body
to cool down. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Run- 3:28</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Out
on the run course I was feeling pretty good till about mile 1.5 when
Hila told me I was in 25th in my age group. I then had a chat with my
coach and I just told him that it was a brutal day and plenty of people
were going to blow up. I thought I could run a <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1177085233" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">3:10</span></span> and figured that would get me into the top 10 (when looking at results after that would have done it). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He
thought that was reasonable so I settled in aiming for that. By the
time I got to Palani I was feeling hot again and could not get cool. I
felt miserable. I was walking through the aid stations getting as much
ice and water as I could, but before I got to the next one it was the
same feeling all over again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hit the half way point with a <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1177085234" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">1:37</span></span> split and thought I could possibly hang on to run <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1177085235" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">3:15</span></span>,
but things just fell apart from there. I did a lot of walking and then
out of the energy lab Joel O'Malley of the Canadian AF passed me. I
wasn't sure if I was eligible for the military awards, but I knew he
was. I told him great job and off he ran. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then
came a buddy that I had raced a few times this year, Reilly Smith. He
passed by and I couldn't keep up and off he went. I finally got going
again and caught Reilly with 5 or 6 miles to go and we passed each other a
few times and then just said screw it and ran together and suffered
together. It was great to have someone else to complain to about the
brutal day and to talk with the final miles so we just kept each other
going. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Coming
to the finish chute my family had the US flag waiting for me and I
asked Reilly if he wanted to cross with it. So we put old glory up in the
air and ran down the finishing chute with it and crossed the line
together. Great way to finish off a brutal day and my last race at Kona
for quite some time. </div>

<div>
Next
up is a race on the Canary Islands, the Ocean Lava Triathlon on 1
November. I bounced back pretty quickly last year, so hoping for the
same this year. This will be my first pro/elite race, so looking forward
to seeing where I stack up against theses guys. It is also the Spanish
Long Course National Champs so should draw some strong talent. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
can't thank everyone enough for all of the support. Making it to Kona
for the 4th time was amazing, hard to think that I won't be racing there
next year, but onto a new journey in the professional ranks where Kona
is not the goal for a few years. </div>

<span style="color: white;">7 Sept 2014-</span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">Coming
off of a decent 3 weeks of back-back-back racing in July/August, I was
looking forward to getting settled back into Boulder and put in solid
work. I was able to get 4 weeks in before departing for 70.3 Worlds, and
was really happy with how those weeks went. I got in a few big 5-6hr
rides with close to 8K feet of climbing, and felt great on all of those
rides. The swimming was coming along quite well and swimming with the
masters group at Rally Sport was really helping my swim. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">We traveled up to Canada <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1249063621" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Thursday</span></span>
and then drove two hours from the airport to Mont Tremblant. It was
absolutely beautiful once we got into the country side and I was really
looking forward to seeing what Mont Tremblant. Mont Tremblant did not
disappoint, it was stunning. Made me wish I lived out in the North East
in the summers so that I could head up there and train. Unfortunately
with the move or England I don't think I will be back there anytime
soon. Hopefully one day I can head back over there to race again. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Swim- 27:52</span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">I
got a pretty good start, it was a little rough the first 400m but then
it cleared up a bit and I found some good feet here and there. At the
turn buoy about half way through a guy came around me and I got on his
feet and stayed there until the exit of the swim. It was quite a long
run from Swim exit to T1, and once there I decided to put knee warmers
on as it was in the low 50s. I also put on some gloves and already had
toe covers on my shoes. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">

<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">I
was quite surprised to get out on the bike and see a lot of packs.
Since I started about mid way through all of the waves I had quite a few
people ahead of me on the course. I stayed to the left and slowly
started passing people. Once out onto the freeway the packs were even
bigger and I was quite disappointed. I passed the groups a few times but
then they would pass me back. When that would happen I would just go to
the back and sit 7 meters off hoping for a draft marshall to show up. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">I
only saw two marshalls throughout the day, one at 30K and another at
70K. In between the 30K and 70K point I would ride by groups and I
started using a new tactic. Rather than yelling at athletes for drafting
I would look over at them and say "Watch out a motto is coming a motto
is coming". Then just ride by them. They would sit up, soft pedal, grab
their brakes. It was ridiculous to see how blatant some of the people
were drafting, especially for a world championship. The worse part is
the penalty tents were empty and penalties were not being given out.</span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">The hardest part of the course was the last 20K and I knew that going into the race. I had pre ridden it <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1249063622" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Friday</span></span>
because I thought I made a crucial error of not being able to switch my
cassette and I was stuck with an 11-23. Looking back I think it turned
out to be a "great mistake" and it forced me to ride that section a
little harder than I would have normally and helped move me up in the
age group. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">Just before entering T2 I saw my wife and she told me I was sitting in 5th or 6th (I was actually in 5th). </span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">Run- 1:23:24</span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">The
run course was quite hilly so I settled into a comfortable pace and
just tried to stay consistent. Around mile 3 a group of 3 guys ran by
me like I was standing still. I let them go and didn't try to run with
them. I stopped once for a short pee break but other than that I felt
really good. I thought I had a bit left in the tank with about 5K to go
so I picked up the pace and tried to push on through the final hills. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">I felt really good on the run and actually negative split the run, so was really happy with that. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">Overall
I was really happy with how the day went. Not quite the placing that I
wanted. I was shooting for a top 5 in my Age Group, but ended up 9th. I
was more pleased with being 18th Overall and with having the 3rd fastest
amateur bike split (really 2nd, as the fastest is a convicted
doper/x-pro cyclist that should not be allowed in our sport.)</span></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="color: white;">Thanks to TrainingPeaks for doing a great analysis of my race, you can read about it here: </span><a href="http://home.trainingpeaks.com/blog/article/ironman-70-3-world-championship-age-group-analysis" target="_blank">http://home.trainingpeaks.com/blog/article/ironman-70-3-world-championship-age-group-analysis </a></div>

<span style="color: white;">Huge
thanks to everyone that has continued to support my journey in this
sport. My wife has been by my side these last 2 years and continues to
believe in me and has been a great supporter of my goals. Without her
support this wouldn't be possible, as having a strong "team" in your
corner is a huge key to success in this sport. </span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Along
with her, I would like to think my family, friends and my coach, Scott
DeFilippis who has been not only a coach but a great friend and mentor
over the last 4 years. Lastly, but very important, all of the
companies that have been standing behind me and supporting me the last
few years.

<br />
Update Part 1 can be found <a href="http://www.aftriathlonguy.blogspot.com/2014/10/catching-up-update-part-1.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
I left off with the departure from Ft Worth and heading up to Boulder. Hila was in from Japan for a month, so we packed up what I had left that the movers didn't take, and put it into the car. Pretty tough packing for 4 months and only being able to jam it in the car. We made it up to Boulder in 2 days, after making a quick stop in Colorado Springs to visit with Hila's mother.<br />
<br />
With Atlantic City going poorly due to being sick I talked with my coach about a back up plan to try and qualify for my pro card again. I found Challenge New Albany and decided that was going to be the race to do. After a few weeks in Boulder we headed out for New Albany, via car. Driving from Colorado to Ohio wasn't all that bad. I had already planned on driving out to Milwaukee for Age Group Nationals so it was just a week ahead of schedule. I was going to spend 10 days in Milwaukee and fly in and out of there for New York City to guide Aaron again.<br />
<br />
I ended up having a really good race at New Albany and won the overall amateur race and placed 15th Overall. So mission accomplished and no pressure the rest of the year worrying about where to qualify. We drove up from New Albany to Milwaukee and luckily were able to meet up with some friends and family along the way. Always great to catch up with people while out on the road traveling. After getting up to Milwaukee the month with Hila came to an end and she got on a plane back to Japan. Luckily, this would be the last time we would be apart for more than a few weeks at a time, as she was getting ready to depart from the Air Force as well.<br />
<br />
A few days after Hila left I headed over to New York for a short 2 day trip, I think I was actually there less than 48 hours. I went out there to guide Aaron in the NYC Triathlon, and it was a great event. We set a course record in his category by 5 minutes, well we actually just broke his course record. It was a pretty humbling experience for me, my ultimate fear with guiding happened. Aaron was in top shape since Paratriathlon Worlds was right around the corner, and he was dragging me around the run course, yet we still ran 37 flat 10K, on a really hilly course. I never want to slow Aaron down so this was really hard for me, but luckily he still won so in the end it was alright.<br />
<br />
Once back from NYC I stayed in Milwaukee and raced AG Nationals. The day went pretty much like I expected, came out way behind in the swim, biked through the field to the top 5 and then was run down by a few guys. When it was all said and done I was 25th Overall and 8th in the Age Group, until I was given a 2 minute penalty for dropping my swim cap on the transition run, yep you read that right, dropping my swim cap, along with about 50 other people. I ended up 40th and 12th in my Age Group after that. Still a great day and put down the 3rd fastest bike split, which I was really happy with.<br />
<br />
After the race I loaded up the car and headed back to Boulder the following day. Made the drive straight through which made for a long day. Once back in Boulder I spent 28 days there training for 70.3 worlds, and put in a really solid block of training. Hila left Japan for good and met me in Boulder for a few days before we headed off to Canada.<br />
<br />
I will do a race report for 70.3 worlds, so that will be the next post. Once back from 70.3 worlds we drove from Boulder to California, making a quick stop at Interbike for a few hours. Although we were really rushed while there it was still a great experience and I look forward to going back in the future. Once back in California we had a few days to getting our wedding ceremony final preparation done, and once all of that was good we had the big party! One of the most memorable nights of my life, and I was glad we had all of our family and close friends there to celebrate with us.<br />
<br />
After the wedding we spent some time in Tahoe and in San Francisco. Hila then departed for England to get started on her DPhil (PhD for those of us in the US) at Oxford. I had a week left in California to train before I departed for Hawaii. No problems at all traveling out to Hawaii.<br />
<br />
So here we are, 6 months later, on the big island of Hawaii, and in 2 short blog posts you are all caught up on what has been a busy and hectic 6 months.<br />

<br />
So for anyone out there that actually still follows my blog, you probably noticed I got way behind this year. This is the first time that I am actually going to skip over race reports and just fill you in on "life" and what has been going on. If you want to catch up on what races I have done since Galveston and the exact results and splits, those can be found here: http://www.aftriathlonguy.blogspot.com/p/race-results.html .<br />
<br />
Where to start....Well after Galveston I went back to what was "home" at the time of Fort Worth and got a few weeks of training in before heading to California for my brothers wedding and Wildflower Triathlon. It is always good to be home and I was able to get in some good training before Wildflower, as well as spend some time with Hila (the wifey) as she flew in for my brothers wedding. We also took care of some "wedding" planning (We are already married but were planning a small ceremony for our family and friends in September.)<br />
<br />
After my brothers wedding and our own little wedding planning adventures it was off to Wildflower. The legendary race in my opinion which should be on every triathletes to do list. I was feeling pretty good for the race and had some great training going into it. I am not quite sure what happened on race day, but I had what I would call an off day. Power was super low on the bike and I came off the bike and hit a wall around mile 3. After a few miles I got going again, but ended up being passed by a guy in my age group with 2 miles to go. Unfortunately he got a drafting penalty and I still ended up winning the age group, although still not a great race for me in my opinion. Hard to say that, but this year I wasn't focusing on age group wins, I wanted overall wins at the local / regional races, and top 5's in my age group at 70.3 worlds and Kona. So I was a little disappointed with my overall placing at Wildflower. After Wildflower I headed back to Texas for a few weeks before returning to California for Military National Champs and a big training block before Challenge Atlantic City.<br />
<br />
While back in Texas I moved out of my apartment and started the process of departing from the military. I also headed down to Austin to the CapTex Triathlon to guide Aaron Scheidies. It is always a great time to have Aaron around and be able to race with him. Such an inspirational guy and has a great outlook on life. I then departed for California after CapTex and headed to Southern California. With this being the last race I would participate in for the Air Force, it was a bit of a bitter sweet. I was really excited for the race and felt like I was in the best shape I had been in when showing up to Pt Mugu. The race played out just how I expected, except I wasn't quite expecting to come off the bike in 3rd and hold onto for 5th place. With it being draft legal this was a great result for me. Unfortunately it was not a Military Worlds year, which meant the top 6 did not get to go on and represent the USA at Military Worlds.<br />
<br />
It was great time down in Pt Mugu with all of the military tri peeps and after a good night of celebrating I was headed north to spend a few weeks at home. I got in a great training block while home, and even had Brett King a fellow AF guy join in for a few days. In the process started to get a little sick just before leaving for Challenge Atlantic City. Since I was home on leave I didn't go to the doctor just thinking I would get over it. After about 7 days of feeling like crap and just arriving to New Jersey I headed into an Urgent Care. They diagnosed me with Bronchitis just 3 days before the race and I started an anti biotic.<br />
<br />
I was stubborn and still decided to race. I just planned to take it easy on the bike and see how things went on the run. The bike ended up going fairly well, and the first 15K of the run was good as well. Unfortunately at mile 13 I made a stop in the bathroom and that was a first, never had that happen during and IM. Then shortly after that I felt zapped of energy and decided to call it a day to forgo putting myself in a bigger whole.<br />
<br />
I packed up from New Jersey and headed back to Texas for the final out processing of the military and to head up to Boulder for the summer.<br />
<br />
That is enough updating for now, check back in a few days for a new update.............Here are a few pictures from this update<br />

<br />
After just racing the <a href="http://www.aftriathlonguy.blogspot.com/2014/05/tyler-half-im-first-tri-of-season.html" target="_blank">Tyler Half</a> the weekend before I was a little worried about how the body would respond. During the week I put in some shorter intervals but the body was recovering pretty quick. I think backing off from the run the previous week was a good thing and helped the recovery process. Hila came into town on Wednesday night and then her mother made the trip as well and came in on Friday. Once we got her on Friday we headed south to Galveston.<br />
<br />
Saturday I woke up and got the normal easy ride and run in. Ended up meeting up with Clay Emge (the 25-29 Kona AG Champ from last year, who is racing pro this year) for a short ride and run. After that it was time for lunch, registration and bike check in. That evening we met up with Chris Avery, his fiance Melissa and her family. Chris's coach Mark Saroni was there as well as one of his friends that was racing. It was a great dinner and always good to catch up with Chris.<br />
<br />
Racing morning came quickly, and same as every other race morning. It is always nice to have the wifey with me at the races, even though it adds a little stress when we are both racing. I was feeling pretty good, but was not thrilled to wake up to rain and wind.<br />
<br />
Swim- 1.2 Miles (33:30)<br />
<br />
The swim was really choppy and we started in one of the last waves, 1.5 hours after the pros. I didn't realize how horrible of a swim I had until after the race. I just thought the swim was slow due to the conditions, but that was not the case. I struggled finding clean water, but I still thought I had a decent swim. Anyways, out of the water and onto the bike was the same ol same ol, not eventful.<br />
<br />
Bike- 56 Miles (2:07:15)<br />
<br />
Pretty much just a flat out and back race, other than the first few turns to get out of transition area. We ended up having a cross wind the whole race. The wind shifted earlier in the morning from a tail wind to head wind then to a complete cross wind. My power meter stopped working around mile 20 and I just rode off of feel. I felt pretty relaxed and like I was riding fairly easy. I got a little worried when I passed a guy in my age group around mile 40. Wasn't sure if there was anyone else up the road or not. I hadn't studied the course that much and as I approached what I thought was the end of the bike we took another way back to transition area. I had already took my feet out of my shoes in prep for transition and ended up riding for about 4-5 minutes with them out. For those familiar with the course it was back through the airport area. I came into T2 with a lot of empty space in our bike rack area which had me thinking that I had the lead.<br />
<br />
Run- 13.1 Miles (1:20:56)<br />
<br />
I knew there were some fast runners on the start list that would be coming from behind. One of them, Jonathan LeJuene had ran a fast marathon at IMFL and ran his way through the field to 3rd. I was keeping an eye out for him, thinking he could possibly run me down. Luckily it was a 3 lap course with a few out and back sections. Right around mile 2 was where I crossed back by the T2 exit and sure enough Jonathan was running out. I felt comfortable with that gap but knew I still needed to have a solid run.<br />
<br />
I saw Jonathan a few other times throughout the course and he was slowly chipping away at my lead. I kept pushing along and ended up finishing just a few minutes ahead of him. I was really happy with my run split as it was a legitimate 13.1 miles and I had a half IM PB for the run, and the overall distance. Jonathan ended up running a 1:14, and only finishing 2 minutes back and 2nd in our AG, so it was a really good race.<br />
<br />
Overall I was really happy with how the day went considering that I had just raced the previous weekend. The race did not have over $20K in prize money so it was not a "Elite Qualifying Race" based on Criteria F of the USAT qualification standards, meaning you need to take top 3 overall amateur.<br />

30 March-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wasn’t planning to do this race and was going to focus on
Galveston 70.3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I found out
Galveston didn’t have $20K in Pro Prize money, and only had $15K.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since I am still racing amateur you are probably
wondering why I even care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well one way
to qualify for your pro card as a USAT member is to finish top 3 overall
amateur at a race with more than $20K in prize money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So once finding out that it did not fit into
that criteria I talked with my coach and we decided to see how back to back half’s
would go.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was a little worried on how my bike fitness would be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had gotten a big week of training in at
camp in Tucson, but other than that I hadn’t had many great workouts that gave
me confidence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was actually a little
discouraged with how I rode at camp, but thought this race would be a good test
to see where I was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were a few
pros in the field “elite wave” as the race had less than $5K in prize
money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They started all of the male and
female “elites” together at once.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Swim- </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started out next to Chris McDonald, not sure why as I
going to lose his feet fast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And sure
enough, by about 100m he was gone along with most of other elites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I swam most of swim by myself and I lost 2:46
to Chris and 1:40 to Clay Emge (who won our AG in Kona).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was fairly happy with how my swim went and
didn’t have too many problems sighting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bike-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I knew I was a bit down on Clay, but wasn’t sure by how
much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started out of T2 riding pretty
hard and caught one person fairly quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then there was someone quite a ways ahead that I could tell I was slowly
reeling in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The about 35 minutes into
the race I heard a loud horn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Didn’t
know what it was at first, then after the second time it sounded I figured out
it was a train.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought to myself,
surely the course doesn’t go across tracks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sure enough about 30 seconds later I came around a bend and there were
the tracks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then the gates started
coming down, and then there I was stopped at the tracks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They had a guy there with a clipboard and he jotted down my
number and started a stop watch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He told
me Clay had just went by and at that point was only 30 seconds up the
road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After being stopped for 1m40secs
the train had passed and off I went.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
took me until about mile 40 or 45 to catch Clay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried to get him to come with me but he was
having issues with his rear wheel so was dealing with that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Coming back into T2 someone informed me that Chris was in
the lead about 15 minutes up the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And that 3<sup>rd</sup> place was about 10 minutes up the road.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Run-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Knowing where everyone was and that I had Galveston the
following weekend I thought I would run hard until the turn around and see how
much ground I could gain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the turn
around I was about 5 minutes down on 4<sup>th</sup> and 10+ minutes down on 3<sup>rd
</sup>and I knew it only paid 3 deep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
figured the odds were pretty good that 2 guys were not going to blow up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided just to take it easy the last 2-3
miles, but continued to push on till that point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ended up running the last ½ mile with one
of the sprint finisher who was struggling, but with a little motivation we made
it across the line together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The run
course was one of the more difficult courses that I have raced on and I was
happy with how my run went.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall I was happy with how the day went and was really
happy with where my power was on the bike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For this early in the season I can’t complain about how things
went.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think it was a great prep for
Galveston and it will be interesting to see how back to back weekends of half
IM’s go.</div>
