I just got back from the Long Course Championships. It was an incredibly tough race, and I am proud I ended up 4th at the end. I came into this event with less fitness than usual so I really had to rely on my strategy for the race, and it paid off.
Surprisingly, I also got called to the award area for my swim split. Bass Pro Shops was giving an award for the best swim split and I got it. I have a nifty trophy to show for it now :-)
This race qualified me for the American Long Course Championships in Missouri in September, which I will race if I do not qualify for the Ironman World Championships.
Also, I am very proud to say I will be working with Marc Becker from IronGuides (www.IronGuides.net) once again. He is one of the, if not the most, knowledgeable coaches in the world, and when I worked with him in the past, I accomplished great things and learned a ton. I am very excited to be working with him again.
If you find yourself looking for more in the endurance department, I highly suggest you get ahold of this guy. You can't go wrong.
