Knoxville,here I come...

So Rev3 Knoxville is my first triathlon of the season and it is about 3 months away.  In anticipation of the race, check out Rev3's Knoxville site and look over some of the course preview videos from last year.

Enjoy!  Hopefully, I will see some of you guys there!

The new ride is almost here!

New pedals....check.
New seat....check.
New bike to put new pedals and new seat on....almost.

The new Kestrel 4000 is 1-2 weeks away.  And I can't wait!  Not that the weather has been all that cooperative which would have allowed me to ride outside anyways. 

Beside waiting for the new bike, I have been mainly doing some light running in preparation for a March half marathon that I will be doing with my brother and dad.  Today was a slow 8 miler.  Had a little knee pain near the end of the run, but nothing that I am overly concerned about...yet.  Lastly, I hope that old ground hog was right about an early spring, because I can't stand doing workouts inside.  I mean, I really can't stand them.  Running on a treadmill or doing a 5 miler on a .1/mile track is getting really, really old.  Bring on the sunshine!

Keep smiling and enjoy what you are doing, because you might not always be able to do it!

Need training advice?
Curious about that bike question you've been wondering about?
What is the best setup for transitions?

Go to Kestrel's website and ask one of the Pro's in their vast stable your question.  Where else can you get this kind of access to a professional athlete?
