It’ been a while, here’s an update.
After a nice long break after Ironman Hawaii,
I've set my sights on 2014. I’ve thought
long and hard about the focus for the year.
After a shift in lifestyle over the past 10 years, triathlon isn’t just
something I do. My former sedentary
lifestyle has been transformed by my training and racing. My daily schedule is amiss without some form

eating habit revolve around being active.
I’ve tried going cold turkey with zero racing after an Ironman season

last year will be my last Ironman for quite some time. My kids activities are picking up speed and will
likely take priority over the next many years.

For 2014, I’m planning a few early spring running
races. A 5 and a 10k should continue to
give me focus through this horrendous Michigan
