December started with a bang. The Rock n Roll Las Vegas Marathon. Las Vegas is always fun for a weekend. What happens in Vegas....
Well in terms of the race, I set another post ACL reconstruction PR. Now I need to work on getting back to sub 4 marathon. Perhaps at my next race, the RnR Arizona marathon on Jan 16th.
My Christmas was fun, again Vegas this time with the family. Now I'm getting ready to go to Miami for the Orange Bowl. My school Stanford finally made it to a big time BCS bowl. They're gonna beat Virginia Tech on Jan 3rd!
Finally in terms of my Ironman training, the biking and running is on target. I ran 20 miles yesterday. This morning was a nice 2 hr bike ride. The swimming is falling a little behind schedule. I've been distracted with the Holidays and going on trips. Also I've been focusing on my running, working on both speed and endurance. I'll try to get motivated for a swim session this evening, before leaving for Miami tomorrow.
In 2009, while training with Team in Training for the Full Vineman Triathlon, I was injured in a ski accident. I had ACL reconstruction in 7/09. After rehab, I trained for 10 months and became an Ironman at IM Louisville on August 29, 2010. Today I am a 15x Ironman. I have qualified to participate in Ironman Kona on October 8, 2016 through the Ironman Legacy Program. Follow my adventure as I join Ironteam and raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on my Road to Kona!
