I've posted the Xterra Tahoe City race report.

Hello!
Last week was a down week for me as I focused on rest and recovery after the Xterra Northwest Champ's and Boise 70.3, keeping the training light. On Saturday, June 20th, I drove up to Tahoe to pre ride the Tahoe City Xterra course and also got in a swim in the lake. The water temperature is really good - felt like the low 60's thank God ;) After the down week I felt good and had a fun time out there!
This week I've bumped up the intensity to wake up the system and so far so good. On Friday afternoon I'll be heading up to Tahoe to pick up my race packet and will be racing on Saturday. Stay tuned for the race report!
Thanks for checking in!

I've posted the Ironman 70.3 Boise race report.
6/12
I drove down from Coeur d'Alene to Boise yesterday, ugh another long day on the road. When I arrived I checked in at my hotel and drove to downtown Boise to pick up my race packet and on the way back to my hotel found an awesome pizza place, Flying Pie Pizzaria... good stuff! This morning I'm heading out for a run and then up to Lucky Peak Reservoir for a short swim and ride.
Stay tuned for the race report!
Thanks for checking in!

Hey there!
Just a quick update, yesterday I qualified for the Xterra World
Championships in Maui at the Xterra Northwest Cup in Athol, Idaho! I
took second in my age group, my best finish at a Cup/Championship
Xterra! Stay tuned for the race report.

Hello!
Yesterday at 5:30 am I left Roseville and 850 miles & 13 1/2 hours
later arrived in Coeur d'Alene for the Xterra Northwest Cup. That was
the longest drive I've ever done but well worth the effort of getting
into beautiful Idaho! My gracious hosts are a couple of friends that used to
live in Folsom, Corey & Michelle Haustein, and they are letting me
stay with them for the next week before I head down to Boise for the
Ironman 70.3. In '04 Corey crewed for me at Furnace Creek 508!
Stay tuned for the race reports!
Thanks for checking in!

Hey there!
Tuesday night I headed out for one of our local (road bike) time trial
training races and had a blast! I arrived around 5 pm to warm up for
the 6 pm start and got in an out and back on the TT course. A little
after 6 I was off and having never done one of these before tried to
find a comfortable state of uncomfortable-ity and sure enough in the
first 2 1/2 miles almost threw up but kept my head down and just kept turning over the pedals as my body and mind were screaming at me to knock it off... ouch! I managed a sprint at the finish and crossed the line in 24:03 min over the
10 mile course, good enough for 3rd in my age group and 8th overall.
I'm definitely addicted now and am looking forward to hitting up a few
more of these over the summer to chip away at my time and improve my
time trialing skills!
Thanks for checking in!

Hello!
This past weekend I headed up to Lake Tahoe for a loop around the Lake
on my time trial bike to get some time on it before the Ironman 70.3
Boise next month and had a great day. I got rolled into Tahoe at 10 am and
gave my friend Elisa a massage before heading out for the ride. Before
I left she asked me how long it would take and I said for my first
ride around the Lake this year and riding at altitude that 3:15 hrs. would be
great and I ended up throwing down a 3:18! Then on Sunday I did a 10 mile
run and an open water swim.
This week I'm doing my first ever time trial and am excited to see what
it's all about, also it'll give me some more time on the TT bike to get it totally dialed in.
I'm also stoked to be riding the Death Ride again this year! I blew it
earlier this year by not getting my ticket for the ride, which sells
out the day registration opens, so I started checking Ebay, Graig's
List and the Death Ride message board and then today I lucked out and
got in... thanks for the ticket George!!!
Thanks for checking in!

Hey there!
Last week I got in some solid training and it looks like my system is
moving back to normal. My resting heart rate has stabilized and I've
been getting better sleep, so I'm hoping that the funk I was in
throughout April is behind me as I prepare for racing in June.
On Sunday I did an epic training loop, riding 69 miles and climbing
9800 feet! I checked my times from earlier this year and took off 14
minutes from my last time on this ride!
Thanks for checking in!

I
spent last weekend in Las Vegas for the XTERRA West Cup race and had a
good time with friends but a rough one at the race - check out the report.
This week I'm taking the training easy as I prepare for another race
this weekend at Lake Del Valle in the East Bay near San Francisco. I'll
be heading down Friday morning for a pre-ride and will also get a
chance to stay with my cousin and her family down the road from the
venue in Pleasenton. I'm looking forward to a chance to redeem myself
this weekend ;0)
Thanks for checking in!
