2010 update

In case anyone actually reads this, I decided to take the five minutes to update what I am up to this year.

Last autumn my wife and I decided to buy a house. The one detail is the house was not finished, so by buying it, I signed up for a rather large construction project. I knew starting the project my triathlon racing would have to take second priority until we moved in and that has been the case since November when we started.

This season I have decided to concentrate on first finishing the house, which is now only a couple weeks from being completed, then returning to training with the idea that 2011 will be my next season competing professionally again. Its possible later this season I can get enough training to do some races, but I don't expect to be 100% competitive and will use the remainder of this season for training. I also just need to recover from this building project, which has been quite a bit more difficult physically and mentally than triathlon training and racing. Once recovered, I think returning to training will feel quite relaxing!
