Headed to Wisconsin

Tomorrow morning Leland and I, alongside with our dog Joey, will be making the 12 hr. drive to Wisconsin where USD$25,000 will be on the line at the Spirit of Racine Half IronMan.

The race is put on by the HFP Racing guys, one of the best in the business. I have been meaning to do this event for years now, and am glad to finally have a chance to toe the line at this great mid season event.

I recently made some changes to the front end of my Velovie Veloce which raised my position a bit. I was as low as possible ( no spacers, short head tube, adjustable stem all the way down), which was perfect for the flat, straight roads of Florida, but here in the rolling to hilly Central Alabama setting, that low position meant a lot of power lost.

I am still discovering the running trails around our new home, and am quite happy with them. though not long, there are tons of dirt paths around to choose from, something I really enjoy when doing my run training.

Also, I have secured a new sponsor for the remainder of the 2007 season. will post details when the contract is inked, but I can say now I am very excited to be working with a company that will undoubtedly make me faster as an athlete and healthier as a person.

I will write more after this weekend's race.

Ciao,
