Race Season Re-think...

Last year was quite a year...Ironman Wisconsin was great! The time it takes is crazy, and I did the bear minimum. It is hard on you and your family. There where many family sacrifices last year. This year is payback... My wife wants to just into this adictive exercise world and start running. Her goal this year is the Chicago Half-Marathon, and we are very excited. I am taking the year off triathlon. I will help her get into running and train together, we will run the Chicago Half-Marathon together...every step. I am very excited and proud of her with this new goal. I hope to take some of last years Ironman training and experience to improve on my marathon personal best at the Chicago Marathon. I plan to ride as much as possible with the group, and continue to improve my cycling. I hope next year to do a couple of half ironman events, and help my wife to continue her running. This re-focusing on family is a good thing, and the best thing I could ever do. I am a lucky man.
