So I'm going to get cought up on the old blog. Last we blogged I had just did 25k of the 50k el sorcho well I moved on from that to training for my second 70.3 ironman in austin,tx. My training went well and felt very strong, got a new sleeveless wetsuit and was pumped up and ready to go. But then again no. Came down with flu a couple of days before event. Felt like hammered crap but went ahead and started the event. The swim was just about the best feeling swim I have ever had, the bike was crap, hills,cracks,bumps,gravel,plus all the things they said you were not to do was done all the way in aces. Did not see anybody in the time out cage,but did see some crash victims. Anyway got through it and went on to the run. It was a death march for me but I finished and cut 10 min. of my time. When I got back to town went to Dr. got some meds and after a month of them the head and chest infections got better. Ran the Turkey trot 10k, and the jingle bell 5k, chest still got hot but was better. All the Hart rate training makes for a slow runner but a strong one. On to White rock marathon,got there late had to pee so was the very last one at the very back of all the runners/walkers ect... I guess that was good because I just ran and had a good time finished strong felt good. So I finished 2009 with two marathons,25k,10k,5k,two 70.3 half ironman tris,one sprint tri,3 or4 tshirt rides at +100k so not a bad year.

So here I am a week away from running a 50mile trail run, got the Idea new years eve,so Its now jan. 29 so I have had to cram to get ready so we will see. Thats it for now, more to come.
