November in Colorado and I had nearly 70 degree weather for my birthday challenge. It just doesn’t get better than that!

With 5 hours of exertion over a 9 hour period, I completed my B-Fit B-Day Challenge for year 35!

To get the full effect of how I got here, you have to go back 2 years. November of 2006 I was getting ready for my honeymoon cruise, which was a lot of fun, but not very good for the waistline. Even before the cruise, I was carrying excessive weight, but afterwards, I was startin… Continue

So we have arrived at the month of my birth and thankfully my birthday does not land on Thanksgiving Day (not that it ever does, the 17th is usually a week prior to that food gorging holiday). I’ve had difficulty though keeping up with my Tri training since the birth of my son (see pics below) and the fact that I haven’t gotten a full nights rest in 2 months is key to that difficulty.

My first triathlon is in just a few days and I feel ready to face it. My wife, daughter and wife's parents are all going to be there as well.

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks, been pretty busy with traveling for work. Training is going well and I am pretty happy with the 5 mile race in the Garden of the Gods that I ran in.

That is not going to set any speed records, but since I haven't participated in any type of racing since high school, I am definitely happy with it. In about one week, I'll be doing a 50 mile bike ride in the Castle Rock a… Continue

I'm feeling much better after having been down for a spell with some type of chest and head cold, but got in plenty of workouts this week. I ran 7 miles, biked 16 and swam 2.5 miles as well as my resistance workouts. This coming Saturday I'll be running in the "Take 5 in the Garden" 5 mile race with some co-workers. That'll be a good training run; nice and hilly!

Only 49 days till the 5430 Sprint! Continue
