Julie gave me the pass to sign up for 3 races plus a USAT membership today. We can’t feed Carter dinner or buy the new baby any diapers but I have a full race schedule this year. Looks like the family must sacrifice for dad to be a crappy age grouper.

No wonder girls don’t like Dave, he’s too poor from all the racing. Or maybe it’s that he spends all of his time racing, or maybe it’s both.

As I reflect back on the month I don’t know whether to be disappointed or pleased. With 29 days in the month if I hadn’t missed 9 days for business travel I would have worked out everyday of the month. That 9 days away my conditioning pretty bad. UGGGGHHHHHH!
I’m riding 3.5 hours and running 30 minutes tomorrow morning before Julie leaves for Ventura, up at 5:30 am. We will see how I feel. With Ironman California and Tri-California Wildflower coming up I really need to get some solid training time in.
Time to go and get the bike prepped for tomorrow,

After a 9 day hiatus due to business travel I’m back in the pool tomorrow morning at 6 am with a core workout at night. It’s one of those love/hate relationships. I still feel super tired from travel but I’m driven by my goal.
Pretty big training plans for the weekend. Saturday is a 4 hour morning road ride and 30 minute run and Sunday is a Palomar mountain climb with Breakaway Training and a night time open water swim at Big Corona with Bryan Cass. It feels good to be back on track. Now if I can only lose the 4 pounds I gained on the trip!
Fat man…out!

As much as I love Patagonia, I’m pretty close in love for North Face product. Altrec.com is having a huge sale on North Face.
