Speaking from experience, it's easy to pack running gear.  No excuses, right?!?!    Heck, more than 1/2 my bag on this trip was my workout gear (running shoes, fuel belt, gu, etc.)..... 

Will you mostly driving or flying for your travels?  I see a new bike rack in your future....


yep, the running will be no problem. Can probably find places to swim too. Bike may be difficult. mix of flying and driving, but the driving will be in a company car. not sure if that will work or not.

Great job today Brad!  How was the swim?  Based on what Jen was telling me, I was worried they'd have to make a du again...Anxious to read your race report!

Thanks man. I'm feeling pretty good right now. I've got my race report done. I'll add pictures soon. I've eaten 3 meals, taken 2 naps, and had a 10 hour night of sleep since my finish. I think it's time for another nap.

Yes, this was her first and she rocked with a 5:23......

Just pulling your chain, she was telling me the water conditions in Grand Haven were very rough.  Red flags at the beach and lots of rip current warnings.

IM Switzerland?!?!?!  Dude, that's AWESOME!  You better start doing some HARDCORE hill training my friend....Is that tri-bike of yours a triple??

All is well here. training slowed down a bit since Steelhead. I've been really busy at work, and emergency bathroom remodel. Next race for me is Reeds Lake. Are you doing it?

Emergency bathroom remodel???  There HAS to be a good story behind this.....

I'm planning on doing Ludington next weekend and then Niles (my home town) on Labor Day weekend.  No Reed's Lake for me this year, that is the weekend before Old Boy's marathon....

How's it going out there?
Bill- ready to BQ this weekend? I think I have that right, don't I? 

Had a great time at Reed's lake. Jen did her first tri. She loved it. She did really well for her first tri. Right in the middle of her age group. 
I did suprisingly well for not doing much training since Steelhead. ended up 30 out of 103 in my division. Great swim, decent bike and run.  20.6 mph on the bike, and 7:58 m/mile on the run. I'll take that.
This got me back to pre-Steelhead enthusiasm, so I've got a new goal. Shooting for a sub 20:00 5k by Thanksgiving. PR is 21:59. Think it can be done?

You guys have any advice on a 8 week training plan?
