Thursday 8/25/11

Tough day of training. Pushing hard to get ready for nationals.

Monday 8/22/11

Officially qualified for Xterra USA Nationals in Ogden, Utah.

Wednesday 7/20/11

First time to do speedwork in a while. Averaged about 1:40 a lap for 8 400's. Not to bad. Did 100's in the pool for 10.

Saturday 11/6/10

Completed Ironman Florida in 13 hours and 42 minutes. Goal was 14 hours so I am very happy. Recap to Follow.

Wednesday 05/12/10

Returning from Panama City Florida's Gulf Coast Half Iron Triathlon. Most roughest swim in my life. Best bike average ever, 19.9 mph and a normal slow 12 minute mile average on the run. Got to work on the heat training. 6 hours and 23 minutes.

Sunday 02/28/10

With 3 marathons behind me this year and a new PR of 4:10.59 at Mercedes, things are slowing down. Monday March 1st begins a 36 week Ironman Training Program.

Tuesday 12/08/09

Ran a 4:15.16 at the St. Jude Marathon Saturday. It was hilly and I cramped at the 19 mile mark. I walked and ran to the finish. Will begin training for Mercedes Marathon Sunday and will try it again.

Sunday 11/15/09

20 miles at a 9 min pace for a 2:59.06. Breaking the 4 hour mark looks like it may be possible this year.

Monday 8/31/09

It's official. Today I declined my invitation to Xterra National in Utah. It's not the right time, but hopefully I will get another chance later.

Saturday 8/22/09

The only thing I dreamed of this year was qualifying for nationals and yesterday my goal was reached. I am so pleased to get an invite.

Thursday 8/20/09

Had a great training day at the track. Two 800's under 3 min and six 400's under 1:30 with the last one being a 1:20

Monday 8/17/09

Things are still upside down with Sheila's mom and my dad but we continue on. My focus turns to the University Mile on September 30. Seven 400 meter repeats under 1:30 was last weeks results. Will try and go back to some 800's this week.

Thursday 7/23/09

Shockingly enough this old man ran a 2:51 for 800 meters this morning. It's a PR for me. I am concentrating on racing the University Mile on Sept. 30th and hope to run a sub 6 min mile.

Monday 7/20/09

Swimming with Jared at 6am and then biked a lap at LPP. Gonna take a nap.

Sunday 7/19/09

Rode 3 laps with Joey and Randy at the military park followed by a 3 mile run. First time I've been to the park in 2 years. My quads are screaming for mercy.

Monday 6/29/09

Guess it's been a while since I've written. Four xterras behind me and still have a possibility of making nationals. Six weeks before my next race. Headed to the track for some speed work with Jared and then a little swimming.

Sunday 5/03/09

Yesterday I raced Xterra GatorTerra in Ruston. Had a great swim, fast bike except for doing a superman over the handlebars at mile 1 and a descent run. Finished 4th in my age group. One up from last year.

Monday 2/09/09

Hammered a new PR today at LPP. Raced corner post to corner post in a time of 54.14. This is about 30 seconds faster than ever. Hope it's signs of good things to come.

Wednesday 10/15/08

Addison, Mark, Todd Doles and myself showed out at the University Mile today. Add and Mark ran a sub 9 minute mile while Todd and myself ran a 6:15 mile which is a PR for both of us. Great job to all.

Saturday 3/22/08

Today I conquered the bat cave with Joey and Corey watching. It has been 4 years in the waiting.

Wednesday 7/11/07

Well I did it. I now have an Ironman tattoo compliments of Tat 2 U and Adam Bethea. I have always said when I completed an IM that was what I was going to do. 8/14/07 got it touched up.

Thursday 6/28/07

I flew back into town Wednesday night from Coeur d"Alene. I became an Ironman at 10:33 pm in a time of 15 hours and 33 minutes.
