austin triathlon this weekend went well. there are some fast dudes out there. awesome course, they pretty much closed downtown for the race. the swim was long, i think due to a last minute course change, i was really happy with my bike time, and my run was slower than usual, but ill take it. overall, i had the 15th fastest time of the day, 4th amateur, and i won my age group. jane had an awesome day at her first olympic distance race. and miss toby the chubby pug was there to watch the finish.
so, the plan. long course. oh yea baby. i really love long course training, racing, and everything involved. so, that will be my focus for the rest of the year and all of next year. half ironman/70.3 distance. i am so freakin excited about it. im gonna hit up cinco ranch sprint, then longhorn half, then finish the season off at the iron star half.
i am not sure, if it is because i am so excited for longcourse training or what, but i have felt great this week. tuesday morning, even after beating the body down monday during the olympic distance, i was up and rolling by 0600, and feeling good. i feel pretty good right now. the past six weeks, i have to admit i have been very tired, maybe i was sick, im not sure. i started taking a multivitamin religiously, and it has really made a difference. so get some centrum, some sleep, and keep training.

Hope the Coast Guard isn't keeping you too busy right now. Your blogs are inspiring...now if I could just stop studying today. I had my first overall victory today (part of a team) in the Brazosport Relay Tri. My cervelo just came in on Wednesday so the race was the first time I got to ride it. You racing the US Open? (Please race elite so I have a chance of placing!)- Luke
Good luck Liam.
