Home Sweet Home
We did it! Thanks to the support of everyone, the high altitude training is over and I finally made it home back to the states where I am ready to race all spring, summer, and winter long. Although my training hasn’t been as great as I’d like it to be, I’m still on the way to giving it my best shot this season.
I’m so grateful to have had the chance to serve my country in Afghanistan, but now that I’m home it is time to kick it up another notch and see just how good my off-season conditioning was. I’m a bit behind schedule for the REV3 prep, but that’s OK, I’m still looking forward to June 7. Shortly after the REV3 Triathlon is the Kure Beach Double Sprint Triathlon in North Carolina, which should be a great time.
I’m planning on using a few 10k’s, half mary’s, and other sprint triathlons to get ready for the 2 big races I have on the agenda, which are Ironman Augusta, and the Outer Banks Marathon, which I plan to use to get a BQ slot.
I haven’t been updating my training calendar lately because I’ve been so busy, but soon I’ll be transferring the data from my Garmin to the online training log so you can check my progress.

Nathan!
I’ve been mentioning you to the mentor group at BT, and most recently today when I updated the races for the weekend. I decided to try to track you down through your site here, which I had pretty much forgotten about.
It looks like you’re still ticking, and all set for this weekend. Hot damn! I will follow your progress through the results at least, and hope you have a terrific half-iron debut.
I’d love to hear from you, hoping all is truly well and that what was ailing you in Afghanistan stayed there instead of following you home.
The group is still active at BT, in case you lost track of us. We are in the mentor group archives, still going extremely strong with about seven hard-core members. If you feel like it, please drop back in. Also if you feel like it, drop my a note at my email; other wise, i will thinking the best fro you on Sunday — and beyond.

Hey Steve, great to hear from you! I’ve been thinking about you guys often, but every time I plan on checking out BT something comes up and I get sidetracked. So much work between the side business and race prep, but I’ll try to stop by more often.
So how did rev3 go?
Race report coming soon!
